From your comment, I'm guessing you don't care too much for the violence which sometimes developes in the Muslim religion.

If they accept Jesus Christ into their nine-chambered hearts, then they're all good.

Sounds like Christianity during the colonial era.
Sounds like christers in the undeveloped and developing world.

You mean like Alabama and Mississippi?

.... oh, wait, no, bad analogy. Any remotely plausible scenario (to the extent to which any of these scenarios would be remotely plausible, which is... a stretch) with aliens showing up would have THEM colonizing US.
THAT being the case, the track record suggests that...
... a sizable contingent of Muslims would assimilate into the new order while retaining their religion, while a bunch of others would go the whole terrorist-slash-resistance-fighter route while screaming about how their god is great.
... a sizable contingent of Christians would assimilate into the new order while retaining their religion and retconning it to be relevant to the new society, while a bunch of others would go the whole terrorist-slash-resistance-fighter route while screaming about how persecuted they are.
... and a sizable contingent of Jews would assimilate into the new world order, emigrate offworld in a massive diaspora, while maintaining their own subcultures to varying degrees and quietly kvetching about how bad things keep happening to God's chosen people.

If you've read the final revision of "The Star" you'll get a clue. Entire planet of non-humans fried in a super nova that would shine over "Bethlehem" centuries later.

I saw a Christian the other day saying that any aliens would be "children of god just like us" which is quite an egotistical proclamation without consulting the aliens first. I guess his intent was that they should be regarded kindly and treated well, at least by default -- and I wouldn't disagree with this action, just the guy's motivation for it.

Dozens of terrible terrorist crimes in Muslim countries, which have claimed thousands and hundreds of victims, have not been motivated by any Islamic institution in denial and denouncing. We have not found a single public demonstration that denounces terrorist organizations, while demonstrations are present in the face of abusive paintings that have been deployed in their country in accordance with their belief in freedom of expression.
