Keep up the good work!</i><br /><br />Thanks, Greg! I am currently trying to put a more positive focus on it, and just trying to compare the theological similarities and differences between Islam and Christianity, rather than focusing on the negative aspects of Islam, as I was often doing previously. The idea came from fellow blogger Larry. In the comments of my Friday, January 22, 2010 post, "Islam: Conclusion," Larry, aka <a href="http://www.nitewrit.com/" rel="nofollow">Nitewrit,</a> said, in part, <i>Perhaps you could do some Posts showing how Islam and Christianity differ in areas where they seem on surface glaces to be similar.</i>Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-4574855519134701362010-02-17T16:14:52.942-05:002010-02-17T16:14:52.942-05:00In short, we are to humbly witness to the Muslims ...In short, we are to humbly witness to the Muslims around us (everyone, in fact), in order to make the Way attractive. :) I really like the tone of your recent posts, Jeff.
