Spengler has an interesting column The pope, the president and politics of faith in which he basically says that an attempt to convert Muslims to Christianity is an important, perhaps the only possible, strategy to win against the Muslim world. He sees the current Pope as recognizing this and of being the point man for this strategy.

Although I never would have thought such a thing up, in fact, I would now vote in favor of this if given the opportunity.

The indigenous Christians in the ME, like the copts, could be an effective fifth column in this war. I’ve read (sorry no link) that in Black Africa Christianity is on the march and is winning against Islam. Many Black Africans are converting to C from I. The idea is that given a choice any rational person would choose Christianity over Islam.
