That's a red herring friend. It doesn't matter whether they have a purpose or not for that, I was asking you.
My purpose is to seek the truth and guide others towards it when I do dialogue with religion. As much as I know of the truth, I want to share it. But I can't convince people by mere assertion. At the same time, if I erred in my reasoning, showing that reasoning, it perhaps is possible for another person to correct me where I went wrong.
So I like to get feed back to my thoughts.
A Muslim believes that his religion was sent by God. If he wants to convince us of it being true, it's probably because he believes it's helpful for us to believe in it. In the case of Islam, if we disbelieve in it, we are destined for eternal torture, so they are trying to do us a favor (from their perception).
Furthermore, they believe the world accepting Islam will make it a better place.
And furthermore aside from empathy from their perspective, they are following their perception what is praiseworthy, because they believe God has ordered them to do so, and it's highly praiseworthy to spread the true religion.
