Sorry I'll address the other points later, I need sleep now though. But I think you are the one looking at it wrong here, in the Christian faith, God knows whether you are going to heaven or hell, thus it is already 'decided' in a sense who is going to heaven or hell. This is really hard to explain... but even though it is decided already and God knows, it is decided through human actions and the choices people make. So even though the future is already decided and written in stone, it is still us who make the future. The same is true of Islam. It is predestined whether someone goes to heaven or hell in the sense that of course Allah knows who goes where, however people do not know who is going where, and so should try and convert everybody they can.

I'm sorry, that was probably really badly explained, but it was hard, and I'm tired
