Not always. Sometimes their hearts change.


But not in response to someone who is attempting to "destroy" their
beliefs. All that does is hurt and alienate people.


Which is precisely why missionaries need to stay out of other countries,
like Iraq, and let those of the Muslim faith continue to be Muslims ...
and not have their belief "destroyed" so they can be converted into
Christians.
