I'd say just calmly explain to them that you are happy with your religion currently and would like them to please stop trying to convert you. Because these people probably are looking for any bad behavior on your part to prove to themselves that you are making a bad choice in your religion, you have to be as courteous as possible. But under the definition of courteous it doesn't say that you have to let people push you around. Every time afterward they come to your door, just smile and say you're not interested before they finish their speech and close the door. Eventually they'll get the message and stop bothering you.

First off, what are you doing about going out door to door to distribute the Muslim Universal Challenge Magazine. All Muslims have been called by the Islamic Comparative Religion Academy to copy the efforts of the JW in getting the good word about Muslim beliefs out to non-believers.
As for dealing with the Witnesses, the best way to learn what to do to stop JWs is to contact a synagogue and talk to the Rabbi.
Ask him how the ancient Jews got rid of the Christian Jews when they went from house to house telling their brethren that the beliefs, rituals, and holiday observances that they have followed for hundreds of years was no longer valid?
I’m sure they had ways to get rid of the members of this cult started by a lower class, uneducated Carpenter, who was executed for cause by the governing authority. These followers were also lower class, uneducated individuals, such as Peter, a failed fisherman, and Matthew, a tax collector.
Lacking any kind of education, let alone advance religious education, it was clear they were brainwashed.
Saul of Tarsus, a highly educated individual, repeatedly proved they were a false religious sect, creating their own scriptures (Bible) instead of relying on the Holy Torah, which had been used by the Jews for hundreds of years. He stood by as the true people of God stoned these so-called Christians.
So, just take a lesson from the ancient Jews. What worked for them against the Christian cult should work against the JWs.

If you tell them not to come back and they still return call their local church and ask not to receive any more visits. I believe that they have a policy to restrict their going to your house if you do this. If they are really annoying next time they are at your house mention that you asked them politely not to return and that you will be calling their church and looking into lodging a complaint against them with the police, possibly getting a restraining order. Other more amusing ways are to start trying to convert them vigorously to your religion when they come. Start reading them long passages from your own holy book. I had a friend (not Muslim but not Christian) who would do that and she said they never returned.

At times, a question such as this will elicit dozens and dozens of elaborate schemes to spare a householder an unwanted conversation with Jehovah's Witness door-to-door ministers.
All such schemes are a complete and utter waste of time!
Many of your neighbors have figured it out, and it's really quite simple:
1. Open the door
2. Smile (optional)
3. Ask "Jehovah's Witness?"
4. Receive affirmation
5. Say, "Thank you, but I'm not interested"
6. Gently close the door (slamming is rude, but your prerogative)
Please recognize that Jehovah's Witnesses are not primarily interested in converts, but in working to obey Jesus' command to preach (Matt 24:14; Matt 28:19,20).

Think about it at least whe are no supporting israel as a Holy city, because the bible said that they were rejected, and we are no supporting the war, like fundamental evangelicals are doing and remember the catholic crusades against muslim so be honest if you have to choose which one you prefer?

if you are not interested. just tell the Jehovah Witnesses to put your name on the do not call list and they will not bother. or call the local Kingdom Hall and tell them to put your name on the do not call list. a flag or a no soliciating sign does not bother us. we are not selling anything. the boy and girl scouts are selling. selling something for money. we don't ask for money. we have been to homes with flags. also would is the salt thing. that is stupid. I guess you would tell Jesus that he is bothering you also because we do what Jesus commanded us at Matthew 28 verse 19 and 20

Ask them which church/temple they attend and call the church/temple. Tell them to put you on the list of people who do not want to be bothered by their Witnesses.

they don't come to my house--I live way off the main road. Here's my suggestion: Put a small sign over your doorbell that says "Day sleeper, DO NOT RING", put one on your door that says "no solicitation" & another one in the yard that says "Beware: Bad Dog" LOL, but it might work. "Trespassers will be shot" might keep them away.

You could tell them politely you are not interested.
You could also post a no soliciting sign on your door or if you are able a no proselytizing sign.
