I'm talking both of them attempting to persuade the other back and forth to join their cause and religion. Each quoting scriptures, throwing out stories, and doing their best to 'win' over the other person?
Would one eventually convert the other, or would they eventually get furious at one another resulting in violence?

Only the Holy Spirit can convict a person of his sin. We can only sow the seed, the Holy Spirit has to convict.

Depends on the people involved. Depends on what else is going on. Like, no one is allowed to leave the room unless both profess to belong to the same religion and then not provide food, water, or bathroom breaks.
If you chose the most devoted from each then it would be a stalemate and they would stay in there until one died. There is no guarantee that violence will or will not happen. That again depends on the people involved.
This does not have to be just about religion. The same scenario can be done for conspiracy theorists vs. non-conspiracy people, cat lovers vs. dog lovers, and that irritating less filling vs. tastes great crowd. Get the most devout believers from each side and confine them together and see what happens.

They do not believe in the same God or there wouldn't be different doctrines. A real Christian wouldn't give up their belief as didn't the disciples even at death. The Muslim(non-radical) might be persuaded after considering the violent mission a man, Muhammed, constructed to be the agenda for Muslims. Either one or the other doctrine can only be correct. There are over 1200 terrrorist groups in over 40 states w/weapons now awaiting further instructions via Internet, thanks in part to US open borders. God help US.

Conversions are not contests between antagonists, and anyway religions are rarely chosen, except by converts irrespective of whether they have chosen rightly or wrongly, but are socio-cultural accidents resulting from birth in a given environment, at a given time. There is no relative scale of merit in belonging to one religion or to another, though most of us mistakenly believe ours is the right one and that, we just happen to belong to the right one, either by birth or by conversion because none of us will readily admit that they belong to the lesser one when, they would automatically convert to the right one, if they know which is which. Your question is as biased as you are wrong about the essence of religion itself. Let us please try to find what unites us, rather than divides us because, there can be no peaceful future in its absence.

I'm Christian and I know some Muslims, they're very frendly.
I believe that they will not agree and that they will respect each other opinion.
Well depending which type of Muslim people we are referring to!
If it's Bin Laden type, the Christian was going to die, if it's a true Muslim would respect the other.

I doubt there would be any conversion and it probaly would end as you described. Both would be wrong at the point where violence enters the picture since both religions teach no violence. True Islam doesn't embrace the goals of the Islamic Terrorists that have hijacked the faith and given it a bad name. BTW, I am Christian.

Devout people normally don't try to persuade somebody to convert. On the other hand zealous people do, as they tend to see things in black and white. In this case a fight could occur.

I don't think either would convert if they have strong faith on what they believe. The Christian would most likely stop before the muslim b/c Christians are to be humble.(I don't know about muslims) Once they realize that each is going to believe what they want then they will probably stop waisting their breathe.

I don't really think either one would convert, but if one "had" to, then I'd think the Christian would. Muslims typically know a bit about Christianity since we believe in Jesus and that he was a Prophet of God. Most Christians know very little about Islam, so the oppurtunity to learn and find the similarities might be appealing to them.

I don't know about the Muslim, but I know the fundamentalists can get very violent at the drop of a hat. Especially if it is one of the tongues speaking crowd. I was a Christian when I experienced these outbursts of anger and violence, I just was not one of their type of Christians.

There would likely be no conversions. I would only expect violence if one or the other of them is particularly obnoxious or stupid. In fact, they may leave understanding each other much better. Well, that would be nice anyway.
