No. It is very clear in the Quran that Allah takes intentionality into account. How do we know that in Islam Allah takes intentionality into account when determining punishment? From this Quranic verse (I have included several translations of this verse):

Sura Al Imran verse 135

Pickthall version: And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins--Who forgiveth sins save Allah only?--and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did.

Asad	version: and who, when they have committed a shameful deed or have [otherwise] sinned against themselves, remember God and pray that their sins be forgiven - for who but God could forgive sins? - and do not knowingly persist in doing whatever [wrong] they may have done.

Malik version: who, if they commit an indecency or wrong their own souls, earnestly remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins; for no one can forgive sins except Allah, and those who do not knowingly persist in something wrong which they have done.

Yusuf Ali version: And those who having done something to be ashamed of or wronged their own souls earnestly bring Allah to mind and ask for forgiveness for their sins and who can forgive sins except Allah? And are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done.

Thus, Allah is not going to punish Christians who embrace trinity if they embrace trinity with absolutely no understanding of it's wrongfulness. This verse shows forgiveness is available for anyone who committed sins unknowingly.

Allah is not unfair or unjust. [/quote]

Are you a theologian? Because these verses clearly apply to Muslims, but their applicability to non-Muslims seems a little doubtful. In fact, it seems like a non-Muslim's "wrongdoing" is to have rejected Islam, and the only possible remedy is for them to accept Islam instead of "persisting" in what Islam arrogantly claims is the error of their own faiths. In fact, how could Allah grant forgiveness to people who persist in rejecting Islam--he doesnt, and the Quran's other verses are unambiguous about how people who know Islam's tenets and reject them are going to Hell. So I don't find this post persuasive.[/quote]
