Do Muslims and Jews look for convertions to their religions?
If they do it, how do they do it? and If they don't why? Thanks
Peace, Salaam, Shalom

Jews don't. I think the Muslims do. But it is more subtle than the Fundamentals Christians do it.

I don't think anyone can top the Christians in trying to convert people. But Muslims do give them a run for their money.
The Jews do not proselytize or go out seeking converts at all. Which is why, out of the monotheistic religions, I have the least problems with them.

Yes. Both Muslims and Jews seek to convert people. Only Jews and Muslims proselytize. There is a difference between proselytize and conversion.
Muslims usually try to convince you that the Qur'an is the only insipired book from the One True God Allah.
Jews they do not overtly seek to convert people, however those who follow the religion strictly will share their beliefs and their faith as the Truth. Desiring for you to see it as the Truth as well.

well ......we muslims do like christians ...(but not in the same way ofcourse as their first method is using people's poverty and needs ...and the proof we don't is our activities in the rich west and their work concentrated in poor countries like in africa) .....and about jews i don't think they do ..cause they believe they are the chosen people of god ....so if you'll convert into jewish it's ok for them any way....but they don't work on bringin more people to the religion......and i guess the reason is in judaism they still think that you can be saved to heaven even if you're not jew.....and they are (jews) a unique race (although they are not the same race) that should be perserved....

Part of the foundations of Jihad is to "inform" people of the Islamic religion. Knowledge is very important in Islam, and the knowledge of the existence of God is to be communicated by every Muslims. Remember, this is just a verbal form of communication.
However, Islam dictates that only God is capable of guiding people to the right path.
The Prophets and Messengers who have been sent by God to different peoples throughout history are assigned the task of delivering His message, the people listen to the message and make up their mind, and it's by God's permission that a person accepts the faith in his/her heart.

Muslims either marry which makes their wife Muslim or convert.
Jews believe much the same as Christians, but do not seek converts. Their beliefs have more to do with their race and place much more strict adherence to the "law" than "grace".

No. Muslims and Jews tend to be very respectful of others' choices. It is much appreciated.
In fact, it is very difficult to convert to Judaism, because changing one's faith is considered a HUGE deal, and they don't want people doing it unless they are really sure of it.

According to the Quran, Muslims are to kill anyone who refuses to convert to Islam.
