  With Muslims, love will be the only breakthrough. Love will be the only thing that will pierce their armor.
  
  Love is foreign to a Muslim. Not the concept of love, they are not stupid. But God's love. Jesus said turn the other cheek. Allah said kill those who oppose Islam. Jesus said love your enemy and pray for them. Allah said if they do not submit to Islam, kill them. Love in the Islamic religion is a foreign thing. Islam denies them love.
  
  Very strong words, but true. The Quran tells them that Jesus didn't really die on the cross. It says instead, at the last moment, Judas was placed on the cross and made to look like Jesus in order to fool the gathered crowds, even his mother. If you deny people the belief that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and then raised again on the third day, then you deny them love.
  
  God has said "Tell them I love them". So we should.
  
  From 1st. Cor.:
  
  If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
