Similar to Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses.

When I lived in California, there was a Black Muslim Bakery that sold stuff in various markets and health-food stores, as well as their own store. It was good stuff - bran muffins made with honey, homemade bread, and the like.
I went in the store a few times. They were never pushy about it, but would answer if you asked questions. I can't say I've ever seen Islamic missionaries that go door-to-door like the Jehovah's Witnesses.

The Christian Greek Scriptures ("New Testament") is different from the Koran in that it REQUIRES a Christian to preach.
A common misconception is that Jehovah's Witnesses go from door-to-door because they feel it is their duty to get a householder to "convert". In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses would go from door-to-door even if there were no hope that anyone would change their religion, or even if no one would listen to them!
That is because Jesus Christ specifically assigned the house-to-house ministry to the Christian congregation, with no regard for specific results.
(Luke 10:1,2) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come. 2 Then he began to say to them: “The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
Jehovah's Witnesses are trained to direct attention to the bible, and move on when their message is unwanted. Since each congregation in the United States tries to call at every home in its territory at least twice each year, there is strong motivation for them to move on where little interest is shown. Also, the Scriptures help the Witnesses to expect little interest from most:
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching ...and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

Yes, some. Maybe it's because this is a heavily Christians country or some are just afraid. You might find them plenty in Asia, Middle east, Africa etc.

No and, I'm sorry, but I would not want them in the neighborhood. I would especially hope they have the sense to lay low for the next few days.

No, they actually are polite enough to not annoy people constantly.
