			By the way, this methodologies of
doing Dawa some are less
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			effective, or those are more
effective, but in the most common
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			methodologies used by many
Muslims, when they are doing Dawa
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:16
			to the non Muslims is that they
speak 100 good points about Islam.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:22
			Even if the non Muslim, he agrees
with all the 100 good points that
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			have been spoken, yet, at the back
of his mind, he will have a few
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			negative points. He will say, I do
agree with what you have said. But
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			you are the same Muslim, who's a
fundamentalist? Ah, you are the
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:39
			same Muslim who's a terrorist. You
are the people who subjugate the
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			woman by keeping them behind the
wheel. You are the people who
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			spread your religion at the point
of the sword. These few negative
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			points at the back of his mind
will prevent him from accepting
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			the beauty of Islam. That's the
reason when I meet a non Muslim
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:59
			what I prefer, I asked him
upfront, what do you feel is wrong
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			with Islam? With the limited
knowledge whether right or wrong?
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			What do you feel is wrong with
Islam, and I make him comfortable?
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			And after he's made comfortable,
he poses three or four questions
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			and make him comfortable that he
can attack Islam. He can criticize
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			Islam, he can pose any question
regarding Islam, and after he is
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			made comfortable, he poses three
or four questions
