“إذا كان المسلمون يعتقدون أن إسلام شخص مسيحي منفعة للإسلام فهذا اعتقاد واهم، وسببه شعور المسلمين بأنهم أقل قدرة وإمكانات وقوة في العالم، فهو نوع من التعويض، وفي مصر بالذات هو نوع من الشعور بالانتصار في واقع كله هزائم كأن لو أسلم مسيحي يبقى المسلمون بقوا أفضل وأحسن وكأنهم كسبوا معركة وأثبتوا أن الإسلام أفضل من المسيحية. هذه طبعًا مشاعر المسلمين محدودي الدخل ومحدودي العقل ومحدودي الانتصارات في الحياة. ثم وسط حالة فساد يرتع فيها الكل فهذه وسيلة للتطهر والتقرب من الله من وجهة نظرهم.
أما المسيحيون فيرون في تنصُّر مسلم معجزة نورانية تنتقم لهم من غطرسة وغرور المسلمين الذين يتعاملون كأنهم الأفضل والأعظم، وانتصارًا للأقلية في مواجهة الأغلبية التي تعذب النصارى بالتجاهل سواء بصوت الميكروفونات بالأذان والصلاة في أذن المسيحي وخطب الجمعة ودروس التليفزيون التي تُكفّر النصارى كل يوم، فلما ينجح المسيحيون في تنصير مسلم يبقى عيدًا وإعلانًا للنصر. وهذا كله لا تراه في أوروبا مثلًا [...] لماذا؟ لأنه مجتمع غير مهزوم، ولا يتخذ الدين والعقيدة بابًا للتعويض عن وضع اقتصادي مهبب أو حرية مخنوقة أو فراغ سياسي أو قلة قيمة وانعدام حيلة.”
― إبراهيم عيسى, مولانا
