Pray to the lord first.He'll give you the words to say. second, Find out what their God is about. Ask them questions. Then present the Gospel to them. Remember: You dont convert the person, Only God does. your only to present the good news to them, Its up to them if they want to accept it or not.

Well, many of them claim He was miraculously replaced with someone who looked like Him. Very similar to the account of the Jewish athorities of the time that His body was stolen.
You're better off approaching it from the perspective of His being perfect.
Understand. Many will assault the account of Him using a bundle of cords to chase out the "money changers," but they forget that He was a Rabbi and held Himself accountable for the spiritual growth of these men, thus His action are well within bounds.
Many will say that He was tempted in the desert, or continuously tempted, but that the Bible says the God can't be tempted. In fact, these two accounts simply indicate His perfection and diety, for though He was "tempted" it had no effect, He did not waver.
Oh, and email me if you get to a hard one, or ask a minister, this is not a thing to be taken lightly. I assure you, that you can defeat most things and others will leave ambiguity.
Be warned, it may make you Catholic, however, if you aren't already, and your friend is very good.

Isaiah 9:6-7 - Jesus as God
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, [b] Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.
Matthew 16:13-17 Jesus as the Son of God
13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"
14They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ,[b] the Son of the living God."
17Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.

Just like you don't believe the Koran is God's holy book he will not believe the New Testament is the word of God. I would share the Genisis story of Abraham. Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in Abraham (Ibraham) and it was from him the belif in Mono-Thesim (one God) springs. You aren't going to convince each other to change religions so find the common ground and go forward from the point we are all brothers and sisters.

dont take him to church
church is no place for unbelivers theyll just be bored im speaking from pesonal experience before i was saved i slept in church every sunday and now theres no hint of bordem.
give him the gospel starting in Genesis with creation and the fall of man and the consequenses he needs to realise that mankind has a problem before he will desire a solution. talk to him about the old testament covenent and how Christ is the fullfillment of that covenent.

Take a look at the book "More than a carpenter" by Josh McDowell. Lots of good info there that you can share.

Begin with sharing the love of God. In islam, allah is impersonal and uncaring with no assurance of heaven.
