If one is propagating Islamic ideology because he is born and raised in it, wouldn’t he be doing the same thing for Christianity were he raised in the Christian faith?

There is no such thing as "The only way". The world has many, many people, cultures, religions,etc. There is no one thing that can satisfy all.

God what a hard question to answer. I think it depends strongly on the environment the person is raised in. This is the reason why there are more people propagating Islamic ideology than christian in my opinion. Most people living in christian countries aren't raised that strongly christian anymore because most of the countries are technologically advanced whereas most Islamic country's are so called "third world countries". I believe that when it's harder for you to find a job or in general harder for you to survive you depend more and more on your faith and you believe in it stronger. It of course also depends on your family. If your family is very religious you most likely will be too. Of course there are lots of more aspects to consider but it would take quite a while to list them all but these are in my opinion the most important.

The reason why we try to convince others that "our way is the only way" is because we are ignorant, narrow-minded and fanatics. Regardless of whether we are Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus.. Etc. The hidden drive behind that narrow-mindedness is self-assertion and the need to feel that our choice is the best, otherwise we will look like jerks in our mind's eye. Ignorant fanatics think the higher the number of people who believe in what they believe, the more accurate and justified their belief will be. This is of course not necessarily true. One person could be right and 2 million people could be wrong - the 2 million minds just don't see his point, do not look from his angle, or do not want to admit they are wrong.
It is our human nature to believe in our choices. Imagine me saying to you: Oh yea, your faith as a Muslim is the best, but I choose to be a Christian. That cannot be. Because if I believe so, why don't I join you and share the best choice or belief? So, I must defend my belief on one hand, and try to convince you that mine is the best, on the other, in order to confirm to myself that I am right. This is how simple - average people think. Highly intellectual or smart thinkers see this as childish thinking. The majority don't.

God made the commandments not man, some hear and believe and some prefer their own understanding. I will say this. This nation with all of it's imperfections has given me a freedom to know My Jesus even when I have perceived my very life to be at the door of death at the end of my day as in the beginning I knew Jesus would not leave me. And this statement comes from a so called "scatter brain"...

I thought Islams are muslims.
I wouldn't follow anything someone tried to tell me was the only way. That's what christians do, and it's a load of crap. I'll believe what I want to believe, not what other people want me to believe.

B/c we think our believes, only our believes, are the right believes.
People are too wrapped up in what their parents taught them that they fail to question -- is this true.

Social cognition is unrelated to belief biases.
Why do people say we when they mean I – and they when the mean we.
