I am having a difficult time talking to a muslim girl. This seems to be a common problem with muslims I know. Let me quote some of what has been said so far.
It started when I posted a video of a man giving his testimony, he had converted from Islam. Now, he wasn't the best Muslim and this bothered the girl. Further in the conversation I said:
Her reply consisted of quoting the quran and such.
Anyways, she ended up saying:
The last half is the same reply I always get. "We all worship the same god, its no big deal, people are confused."
My first instinct was to reply sarcastically "Thousands of Christians suffer and die in muslim countries, its nothing, really."
Oh, keep in mind we go to a Catholic university so they hear that we worship the same god and never anything about Jesus except moralistic spins on his teachings.
Should I say something like, "I know the quran tells you to say that, but its actually insulting to Christians" Should I just stick the Gospel in there somewhere? I think she has an understanding of the Gospel already...
Or should I send her more James White clips?

You're right, I don't think it will persuade a Muslim. But I find it encouraging that he was forgiven of his sins and found peace in Jesus Christ. Do you find it encouraging that he is a Christian, believing Christ was in fact the Messiah (savior of the human race)?
What do you think about this? I was thinking about posting it:

"Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Messiah. Such a man is the antichrist-he denies the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:22)

Anyways, she ended up saying:
Islam has been the only religion sent by God from the beginning of Adam and Eve; the torah and gospel, were the same as the quran, but the people of the book kept on revising and changing them; the quran has never been changed and that is why it was sent down as the final book and Allah said that he has made it so no one can ever change it. I don'... See Moret mean to sound like i'm arguing at all. Essentially were all meant to follow the same religion; the only difference today is that, people have tampered with God's words. That's all. When the truth becomes fabricated by people, people become confused and begin to argue over nothing really. But we all have One God and One Religion, and we are all united through love and respect for one another.
