Well, they do. They protest at their conventions, and there is even a group that specializes in attacking the alleged child abuse in that movement.

nor do I see protests against a new catholic church opening down the street.
Protestant disputes with Catholicism are mostly about secondary doctrines, not about the nature of God. Also, Catholics teach that Protestants, while wrong and separated from the true Church, will mostly end up in the same heaven and the same level of heaven.

Fiannan has a good point...why aren't they trying to convert muslims?
There are many efforts to convert Muslims, even in Muslim lands. However, such efforts are very discreet. Also, Islam is a totally separate religion, and does not claim to be restoring lost truths, or redeeming a longstanding apostasy.[/quote]
