I posted on a dialogue between Muslim clerics and some “leading” evangelicals back in December. That post will show that some evangelicals apparently believe that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. Hmmm. So why evangelize them? But, I digress.
John Piper wrote,
9. Don’t mislead them or give them false hope by saying, “Muslims worship the [...]

2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root [...]
Ken Blackwell and Sandy Froman have co-written an article (part 1 of 2) on the second amendment.
