I don't understand why anyone from any particular faith (if they are happy with it), accept any other religion or faith? I don't understand this. While Islam and the Prophet Mohamed (Peace be upon him) have said that God had perfected Islam as the true path to finding truth, it is still up to individuals to follow or now. You must understand that God also created man with a free will, so how can you force anyone to accept what you think is a perfect religion.
Others may not agree, and if they find faults in their own religion they may go out and research, and you know what some have even left Christianity and gone onto Buddhism! Shocked, but if the person finds peace with that religion, so be it. It is not up to you or me to force people to believe anything, it is up to individuals themselves. A lot of people now don't even believe in religions. Actually you don't need a religion to be a good person. If one lives by ones own virtues and conscience then I am sure he will live a good life as ordained by God.
And your analogy of this father, son business really does not hold. I think Muslims should try to practice their religion in the best way possible, and it is their action that must speak, in other words, if you show me that you are a good Muslim, that you are an honest man, that you care for your parents, wife and children, that you follow God's command and educate your children, that you do not hurt others, I mean even hurt other peoples feelings, and if you mind and your own business, then perhaps I might find your faith kind of interesting and I will most certainly ask questions.
If you want people to look into Islam that is the only way, not by professing that it is a better religion or anything like that.
Good luck and be a good person.
