It depends what one wishes to do. If one wants to remove the doubts from the minds of the Muslims, then Insha Allah this will be enough. If we are talking about non-Muslims coming to Islam, I personally think a more in-depth approach has to be taken.

I too have an inclination towards an in-depth approach but it becomes sort of ever receding chimera.
I suppose the Christian populace, which is mostly western, too has that inclination. So I suppose there is need for the in-depth approach too. But then I have heard from senior du-aat that those who will accept Islam do not have these deep questions on which we spend lives to rebut. Any invitee trying to hold on to a da'i can be referred to serious scholars - with profit to both the da'i and the invitee. That is what scholars are for. Guidance is from Allah(SWT) and it makes practical sense if we can scan the whole world, as quickly as we can, with the direct proposition : Recite there is no god but God - you shall succeed.
It takes little bit of assertion and initiative but I feel that it is a good idea to be taken to its logical conclusion.

Of course, the coming of the people into Islam is all due to the turning of the hearts by Allah (and so is the one who remains within Islam only be to remain because Allah has blessed him with this favor), but from the point of view of the arguments that we can provide (the only job we can do from our side), I think that the philosophical justifications of other religions can be studied in depth by those who are capable of doing so (such as the 'Ulama), and Insha Allah in that way perhaps more people may see the strength of Islam and that we are extremely serious about the way we present Islam. Agree.
