I am Muslim, and I am surrounded by Christians: my extended family are Christian, and the people I work with ..I never discuss religion with Christians, unless of course they ask me a specific question...You have to understand that Americans are made up of many faiths, and we must accept and respect each other.
In the past, when people have tried to "convert" me--my first response is to smile and change the subject. There is no need to get into a 2 hour long discussion with a Christian. But, if the person keeps coming back to you, and being agressive about Christianity--then you have to be firm with them. You can look them in the eye and say "I'm a Muslim, and as a Muslim I respect you--and I'd ask that you respect me and my beliefs as well".
If they STILL keep coming at you--then that person has no respect for you or for Islam--and its time to get new friends.
Allah says that your real friends are those who believe. Allah also tells us that some of the Chrisians will be like brothers/ sister to us--those are the true in faith.
If those people dont respect you or dont respect Islam, they are NOT your friends....One of my best friends is a Christian. We grew up together. Never once has she ever tried to convert me. Our friendship is based on love and support--through good times an bad. Thats a true Christian and a good friend.
Be firm and stand up for yourself. Leave them alone if they wont respect you. If you give up one bad thing for Allah, then Allah will replace that with something better. Have faith, and ask Allah to give you new, good friends--Muslims and Christians.

This is one of the reasons it is not good to keep them as close companions. They will never be happy with you as a Muslim. If you want to have Christian friends then you need to be strong in your faith and they need to know that you will not convert. If they can not except that then maybe you need some new friends. Stay strong your on the right path. Don't be rude just tell them that you are a Muslim and will die a Muslim.

As a christian myself I would ask a Muslim that was trying to convert me very nicely to stop. I would say that I have my beliefs and you have yours and while I respect yours you are not going to change my mind so please stop trying. If they are actually good friends maybe you could teach them some of the similarities between the two religions or show them some of the things you do to worship God. Try to be patient some people take awhile to get the hint that you are not going to change your beliefs.

Simple. In Islam we are taught that religion is a touchy subject that should not be debateed, but reality is we debat, or conversant whatever you wanna call it. Now more than ever each Muslim should make it his/her job to create a positive dialog with Christians while holding firm in our own faith. Tell them Cristians are respected in the Koran And mentioned frequently, but we are the Muslims. Peace be upon you.

Have you been firm? You need to send a behavioral message that not only says "No", but means no.
Otherwise, the more attention you pay, the more you are encouraging them to hear themselves speak.
You've probably so misled them to believe you might just listen, you're gonna have to ditch them altogether and find new friends.
Which is what I'm tempted to do in the first place, but since you are half responsible, you should give them the chance to figure out that you are acting differently and they'd better change their ways.
God be with you, whatever you call her, etc.!

Christians are commanded to preach the gospel to every creature, and that is an essential part of their faith. If you want them to stop, then tell them that only the Holy Spirit can convert an unbeliever. But to you I say read the Bible with an open mind and an open heart and compare it to the Koran , and if Allah is God then worship him and if Jesus is God then worship him. But be sure because we only get one chance at life, and if we get it wrong there is hell to pay.

1. Ignore those stupid nutheads who preach christianity here.
2. Ignore those even stupider asswipes who pass such stupid comments about OUR religion, thinking they're so smart
That done, I think you should tell them, sincerely and nicely that you are content with your own religion and that if we are friends, it should not bother them whether you are Muslim or not, because some ******** in the world have a deluded and twisted view of what Islam is; they think all Muslims are terrorists, blah blah blah. These blind imbeciles do nothing more than to ignite more anger and hatred in the world; they are rubbish that should rightly be thrown in the dustbin (considering what trash their brains are made of)
Anyway, tell those friends of yours that you are uncomfortable with what they are doing; say that if they really ARE your friends, they should drop the matter and not push their evangelism on you. Tell them that if THEIR religion is true(r), then you will find out on your own, but until then, you are more content with the way things are currently.
To refresh your memory (and aid you):
Surah Al-Kafirun:
1. Say : O ye that reject Faith!
2. I worship not that which ye worship,
3. Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
4. And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship,
5. Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
6. To you be your Way, and to me mine.
Say it loudly to them, and Insyallah, they will stop, for if their hearts are true and sincere, they will understand what that means.
Wasallam.

They might have a feeling that you're trying to convert them to Islam. You're best bet is to never mention your religion. If one of your friends brings up the subject of religion just tell him you'd rather not talk about religion. Just say that you've been over that before, let's talk about something else.
