It is the pure truth which pushes forward against all hardships. If the link below doesn't prove to you the truth of Islam how can you adopt any faith which doesn't provide you with stronger proofs:

First of all, the message was revolutionary, simple, and easy to believe whole-heartedly; "There is no God but God". Who can argue with that? The "Mohammed is His Prophet" came a bit later. There is speculation by some, not to sound kafir (atheist), that Mohammed was atheist and simply said at first, "There is no God!" Second, he was not poor - not his whole life anyway - he was married to a princess and had other wives. He networked really well and drew many followers who rebelled against the predominant religion of the region at that time, Judaism. He had good press (like Martin Luther much later), bedouins to spread the word as well, and stories of mercenary banditry and looting aside whatever degree of veracity irrelevant, whatever happened, he was very popular among the poor masses (and some royal figures) dis-enchanted from the probably mind-boggling religions, idols, and mystical systems of giving to the priesthood.
You're effort to persuade folks to at least more open-mindedness about Islam is hampered by two insurmountable obstacles; Language and capitalism. The "Mohammed is His Prophet" is hard for non-Muslims to believe as well. The Prophets language and the Quran being Arabic, most non-Muslims having no interest, not to mention the language is extremely difficult. The religious system invested, so-to-speak, in empowering the impoverished while Judaism and eventually Christianity remained more open to individual material gain. Christians forgot that Jesus said, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesars" and the early Christians of The Book of Acts called for members to give ALL their wealth to the church. The light of scientific research left Baghdad for the West. The Christian Crusader Knight Templars revolutionized systems of currency becomming the first global banksters. The Counter-Reformation Jesuits furthered the cause more. Rockefeller studied potentialities of petroleum products and voi-la! The Light of the West and Free World, the United States of America, has no peer competitor (all Arab countries united could not scratch the U.S.A. in a military confrontation. In-fact, the U.S.A. supplies most of their advanced weapons).
Who are non-Muslims to go against this powerful giant?
Verbose answer to a simple question, I know.

Such individuals come into this world empowered by certain forces...in the case of Islam there are dark dark powers and principalities that rule their sphere.
Islam flows and functions with the spilling of blood, it brings hell, death and the grave to the infidel.., namely you and me if given half a chance,
So it's more than just a man with a turban on his head who may have been a good orator that curries the masses down through the ages but dark dark malevolent powers that follow and go before him empowering the messge of islam to gain converts by the sword not the spirit.
It's a religion without mercy and compassion and devoid of hope only misrey lies in it's wake and by his own words and he is that Prophet.

Religion is a facet of culture. The Prophet Muhammad didn't 'convince' any of the 150 million people living in Pakistan, for example. Most of them were raised being told 'you are a Muslim' and just never bothered to question it.

In 12 yrs from 1990 -2001,the % of Christians in US grew by a negative 8.5% .This is even harder to digest.
Is this outright rejection of Christianity?

Many people had no religon back then, they kill you if you leave, and they don't allow other religons to openly preach.
Many converted after being conquered by Muhammed's armies. They still use the sword for expansion, Google Sudan.
Peace!

many people think that islam is just 1400 years old, but no islam was here since the day the 1st man was there.
well u could rather say that wat muhammed(pbuh) preached was more impressive than himself. the god he spoke of and the revelations itself are divine. it was not man made or fabricated.
he had virtues of a good nephew, grandson, husband, father and grandparent. he was the best political leader who brought many clans together peacefully and he was a man of patience.
his best virtue was he even 4gave enemies. ya ofcourse the ignorant fools would say that he raped, plundered and killed. but if only they knew. may Allah's wrath befall them as it did in nuh's/ abraham's/ moses' times(pbut) when non-beleivers would do as people r doing today.
well i think most of us muslims follow him becoz he lived a perfect life based on the principles of Quran. and inspite of the fact that he could have had anythin from all the worlds, yet he did not, shows how humble he was.
infact he is an epitome of wat a man should b today. he lived the quran with perfection as his Allah ordered him. i think all muslims follow him becoz he had the guts to stand up and say, stop worshiping idols and false gods."
he was the man who said no to female infanticide, to women being 2nd class citizens and he gave women right 2 vote. he was the man who first said that a divorced woman or widow could remarry. remeber hindus followed sati and so did early christians,
it was he who said that women have right over her parent's, her own and her husbands property. or else in christianity women were not allowed to hold anything for themselves. infact there hav been times in christianity where the statemnts of women were not considered valid(esp if it is property or witness).
it was muhammed who 1st said that women should b educated. or else there were no sermons by women in christianity or any religion. the best xample being virgin mary (a.s) and mary magdalene herself.
in short he was a man who duly completed all his duties both to his Lord as well as this world.
well people may bad mouth islam, Allah and all prophets of islam. but when they do that they also 4get that they r bad mouthing jesus, adam, abraham, moses, aaron,slomon, david, zakariya, joseph, john the baptist, and 1,24,000 prophets(pbuh) as well.
well islam is one religion that has accepted all prophets b it that of jews, christians or any sect. but the only thing v dont accept is that god has any partner or son or anyone.
well thats the message Allah is trying to give to the world. come wat may. men will always find themselves towards islam as a way of perfect life.
quran 5:3
this day i have perfected ur religion 4 u, ompleted my favor upon u and hav chosen 4 u islam as ur way of life
quran110 an - nasr
when the victory granted by Allah & conquest come,
u will c people embracing the religion of Allah in large numbers
then celebrate the preaises of ur Lord, and seek His forgiveness.
He is ever ready to show mercy
quran 2:28-29
How can ye reject the faith in God?- seeing that ye were without life, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return.
It is He Who hath created for you all things that are on earth; Moreover His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He hath perfect knowledge.
quran surah baqarah 2:6-7
surely those who reject Faith it being alike to them whether you warn them, or do not warn them they will not believe.
Allah has set a seal upon their hearts, and upon their hearing, and upon their sight is a veil; and for them is a great chastisement.
2:10
In their hearts is a disease, so Allah increased to them the disease, and for them is a painful punishment because they used to believe.
