Voldemort point two
No, because if you ask a Muslim what's wrong with Islam, they will be so indoctrinated that they can't find anything wrong. It's like going back through your own work and checking for mistakes; you're proud of it and can't think objectively.
I find this funny, because the same applies to you. You are so indoctrinated in your own religious beliefs that not only can you not see anything wrong, you come into chat groups for people of other religions to challenge them not to question it. Religious argument can be compared to, in terms that you can understand, the Tower of Babel. You know how, in christianity, god divided the world into different languages etc; so that they would not create this tower meant to glorify the capabilities of man and be capable of placing themselves in the heavens (which only Allah/God can do for you). Well suppose, just for a minute, that the same rule applies to religion. The major differences in religion lay in the fact that different people of different cultures practice different religions... and because no two languages share the exact same vocabulay set (linguistically) then is it not entirely possible that all religions share a common origin and that simple semantics are directly responsible (aside from culture) for the more vast difference in any religious practice?
And since Christianity supports this possibility, as I presented above, doesnt it stand that you do not have a platform to 'debate' anyone's religious beliefs due to the fact that they all share a common origin... which is God (allah), but were merely transferred to the people by different persons (Christianity-Jesus v. Islam-Muhammad(pbuh)). Or do you deny that if, for example, I say the sky is blue and you say its cerrulean... we both speak the truth.
Either way, and this is the thing that makes me prefer islam to christianity...
By coming here to contest the belief system of the people in this group and trying to inject Christianity into the brains of its members, you reveal your lack of faith in your own religious background. And the request (of the bible) that Christians 'spread the word' of God suggests that the religion is too weak to carry itself. I believe islam has it right in its notion that God doesnt need anyone to go around proving to people that God exists. You either believe, or you dont. And if you believe, you act accordingly and do not sin so as not to kick dirt into the face of your creator. And if you do sin, you pray for forgiveness because you value the honor of your God that much.
And you do not babble (babel) endlessly to convince anyone that God is who God is. You show the world your faith. IF someone challenges you, you do not need to reply because your faith is the reply. If you act like God is all powerful in your life, they will know it. And if someone uses force against your religion... it is a natural response that you defend it, because it is an attack against God himself, not because you are seeking favor from God (because God owes you nothing)but because you believe in the honor of God and like your children you hate to see anyone attacking something/one you love.
In Christianity, you selfishly probe and p***k and try to turkey baste your opinions into people. You prey on them when they are in a weak situation(and call it saving them) JUST because you want them to believe what YOU believe. Then you try and mask that act with the misinterpretted word of God. Thereby manipulating the word of God for your own purpose... and taking God's name in vain (a violation of 1 of the 10 commandments).
In Islam, we keep to ourselves. When fought, we fight back, but we lead by example. THAT is why Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and the leading religion in active practice. Not because we do what you do and launch attacks, but because we bathe in our faith and prepare our shield of defense.
Perhaps if you had more confidence in God's ability, you would not need to question us to further your faith.

Your analogy fails. Maths and Physics are similar. And anyone could tell you what's wrong with Physics: Quantum Physics is a bunch of unproven, borderline-religious statements that break the rules of regular Physics.
And his analogy does not fail because Math and Physics are as Similar as Islam and Christianity. And anyone could tell you whats wrong with Christianity: Connotative Christianity is a bunch of unproven, borderline-political statements that break the rules of regular Christianity.
But that holds true for all religions. Humans are imperfect so there is no way they can properly capture the word of God in the perfect terms to explain them to another imperfect person without some form of misinterpretation. Leave Gods work to Gods will... Allah(God) created the world without your help... and only Allah(God) can moderate it.
