i have sought out muslim apologists--it's my favorite pastime in airports and other obligatory waiting periods. i find a likely-looking character and ask him if he is muslim. To a affirmative reply, i ask him to tell me about islam. Then i listen thoughtfully and ask additional questions while he holds forth. Eventually it gets to the point where i'll confirm with him that islam has 5 requirements but christianity only has two--to love God and your neighbor and then ask him which does he think is the higher standard. i have yet to hear any even remotely rational arguments for the truth of islam.
