What is the best way to do Dawah, in this world of today, that is all but islamic?
How can a muslim , living in a world full of lust and materialistic values be able to spread out the truth , that is Islam. In todays world whatever Islam prohibits exclusively , the media plays its role in glorifying it, as much as they can. They represent the worst of sins to be something that people should not only accept but follow (despite their negative consequences, that are never mentioned). for example: 1)alcoholism is the root of many evils, nobody can deny its worse side effects. But everybody seems to overlook all of its social, biological, mental and other impacts it has created over the past few decades. 2)Haya or modesty is not to be found anywhere on any channel. Its considered modern and open minded to let women decide ,what to wear and how much to cover up their bodies, this leaves us with the world of today where individuals are coerced subliminally to think of sex and other such vices, without ever considering its consequences. 3)Music : it feels really sad to see people really indulging themselves into such worldly activities. It is recent study that shows how subliminal messages can be hidden in the music tracks that influence the brain and cause an individual to even kill people.(I refer to the Hashemsfilms initial episodes) 4)interest based economic system has finally played its well thought out role of destabilizing the whole American economy. Other countries that have already fallen prey to this heinous form of money management include virtually all nations of the world that are dependent on the money of the World Bank to maintain their economic survival. 5)Jihad is now considered to be the most misrepresented word . It means literally "to struggle in the way of Allah", but the western media has succeeded to make it synonymous with the oftly stated term "Holy war". Thus supporting their baseless claim that Islam is THE root cause of all the frustrations occurring all over the world.(which is obviously furthest from the truth) 6)the western media tries its very best to support and propagate baseless claims regarding Islam.some of them being: i- Islam was spread at the point of a sword, Indonesia the state with the highest muslim population in the world , easily denies this proposterous claim. ii- the martyr in islam would be awarded with 72 virgins. There is no mention of such claim in the whole of the Quran or the Books of Hadith (sayings of the prophet SAW ) iii- The women in islam are not given equal rights, hence they are more like slaves to the muslim men. As a rebuttle i ask the western people to take a look at their national statistics in rape, illegitimate sex, premarital births and incest , and then compare their figuresto all the muslim nations of the world. Also the western media has succeeded in making women nothing more then good looding barbie dolls that are the prize of some one who follows the lifestyle they propogate. and the list goes on and on and on.

I'd still rather live in the immoral nightmare you listed than as an oppressed dhimmi within an ideal Islamic society. My head's still attached to my neck despite me being me so I'm grateful kufr countries afford me this right (something Islamic utopias can't guarantee). BTW rapes are more common in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan than in western countries and rapists in western countries are disproportionately Muslim.

Actually, Jesus is the truth.

Instead of worrying about the rest of the world, I suggest Muslims take a deep hard look at their own backyard. Much of the middle east is engulfed in corruption, violence, disunity, crime, illiteracy etc. If anything, Muslims are the ones who desperately need a dose of pure Islam. So before worrying about inviting non-Muslims towards Islam, Muslims should first extend their helping hands towards their own brothers and sisters.

LOL, #3 is the best. Yes Islam is the truth, but we're too stupid to follow the truth. What's our fault if your allah created us infidels with limited brains that we cannot know islam is the truth. Beating your wife is the truth, too. Burning in hell for temporary mistakes is the ultimate truth. Not having the infidels as friends is a mega truth, too. How can people be so blind and not see that marrying 4 is the truth. Yes, Islam is the truth.

remember that god did not force Adam and eve to eat from only one tree. Be the change that you want to see in the world. If Islam is the way, then surly people will follow it.
7 :
do your part... preach only that u practice... speak what is authenticated... spread Islamic knowledge even if it is a word...

Clearly misguided. Try the our father prayer - Matthew 9. This will lead you out of darkness and help you to find God through Jesus. Stop worrying about the rest of the world when you sitting in absolute darkness.
