If you were born a Muslim and never heard of Jesus, then you are "invincibly ignorant" and you will be judged on your response to what was revealed to you. I don't think this a low bar--you have to actually try. There is room for your "honest mistake" in this scenario only.
If you were born a Muslim and heard of Jesus and the plan of salvation, now you have an obligation to respond to that specifically.
This takes care of any objection based on not being fair, or unlucky as to place of birth.
What logical, rational reason would a person, born and raised into any specific relgion/religious doctrine, have to think that their religion is the wrong one, and someone else’s is the right one? Clearly no Christians here have ever given that serious consideration, so why would a Muslim or a Jewish person do so?
Because the story of Christ is supposed to be so moving/powerful that those who have heard of him will be compelled to convert.
