Perhaps recruitment can win where the Crusades couldn’t.
Christianity ( I think ) was never meant to win by POWER or by COMPULSION but by PERSUASION.
Christianity grew the fastest in the Roman Empire when men without power like the apostles, preached the gospel everywhere in the Empire.
Christianity started to go downhill when it occupied the levers of power.
Just my humble observation.
Somehow I doubt it. The Muslim world would...well, never mind. I think the SMART Christian Persians get outta Dodge.
Maybe I'm wrong.

It’s an unanticipated side effect of Al Gore’s invention, the internet. The internet can evangelize where Catholic evangelists could never go.
This is very exciting because, historically, Islam has only been driven back by the sword.
Truth wins where debate is open, full, and honest. Thanks Al!
The Crusades were not about forcing Arabs to convert to Christianity. It was about preventing Islamist from forcing Christians into Islam.
