you know that nothing is above the power of god. then why do you both blame humans for, what is not in their power. ? God, know the future, he know what we will do with our free will, so why ?

Their books, the Bible and Quran, tell them that anyone who is not of their faith and believe in these books, is wrong, from the Devil, sinners, heathens, pagans, etc.
They believe in these books, yet few take the time to really study them. Mainly, they follow along, like sheep, with whatever religious figure, that they admire, their parents, ministers, and TV preachers, tell them to believe. Many do not educate themselves. I've met a number of Moslem's and Christians who quote what they have been told their books say, but in actuality, have no idea where to find what they have quoted.
I agree with you. If an all-powerful, all-knowing God knows what each individual will do, why do humans continue to preach and try to convert those of us who aren't interested in their ways?

They don't, exactly. I will attempt to explain the way I see it.
I believe that anyone who follows the path God has given us, through Jesus, will enter into heaven. This includes anyone and not any specific religion or sect.
Christ tells us these things in scripture, not all who call on Christ are saved. Christ will tell some "I never knew you". We could discuss the word Jesus and how we don't know what name was actually used by Christ. I will leave that alone right now and use a simpler argument.
The reality is that only God knows a person's heart so only God can know if a person is saved or performing their religious duties correctly. Everything else is materialism.
People often act or speak in a way that they believe will convince others around them of particular things. Some people attack others who do not act or speak in the same way they do. This is all materialism and is not spiritual. Only God understands the spiritual in any language, in any religion.
Christ told us (approximatly), "I judge not, and if I do judge it is not I who judge but the father in me."
If you judge someone without God directing you, you have placed your own will above that of the father. If you claim that God directed you in judgment and God did not, that would be false witness against the Holy Spirit, the one unforgivable sin. If God directs you to judge against someone that would be a different situation.
You can depend on the spiritual, God, or you can depend on the material, how a person appears to you.
Knowing this it does not surprise me that in Revelations we are told that the uncountable numbers saved is still a small portion of all people.

I wish I had an answer for you but I don't, I don't understand it either. I think they're using the label 'sinner' as a political tool. Back when Islam was still new, Islamic leaders allowed other religions to practice freely in their lands. This religious freedom brought more people into their lands and their tolerance helped convert some. Not only that but if you read the Quran you'll learn that Muslims believe in a lot of similar things as Christians and believe in Jesus. They just believe he is a prophet of God and not the son of God. Islam is a very peaceful religion, its unfortunate that a handful of extremists are tarnishing Islam to the rest of the world.
I still don't get why Christians believe practitioners of different faiths are hell bound. As a matter of fact I think Ill ask that question.

Speaking as a Christian, we see everyone as sinners, ourselves included.

if you know that it is wrong and you do it anyway, then that to you is a sin, it is not for us or anyone else to judge you, that is between you and God.

Yeah, why? If we aren't part of your doctrine, "sin" and "hell" and "god" don't apply to us.
