There is story about a Shaykh who was invited to give a talk at a Christian Church about Islam and Christianity. So he went, and they all had a grand time. The good Shaykh spoke eloquently about Jesus, accentuating his positive attributes instead of dwelling on the Trinity.
When the Christian Minister offered to come and give a talk at the Mosque, the good Shaykh thought about it for a moment and then said, "no, that would not be a good idea."
"Why not?" asked the Minister.
"Can you say that you love Muhammad?"
The Minister said, "no, we love Jesus."
The Shaykh said, "it is because you don't love our Master that you cannnot come and speak to us."
As the Shaykh said, "Inclusion, not exclusion."
