Such people were there even at the time of our Prophet Sallallaahu Alaihi wa Sallam, like Abu Jahl, Abu Lahab etc.
We can be successful only if we did what our Prophet and the Sahabah did. We have to follow their footsteps and call people towards Islam in exactly the same way as the Sahabah.
Our Prophet (PBUH) even wrote letters to world leaders calling them towards Islam.
The need is to mobilize the Muslims all over the world and engage them in any sort of Da'wah work.
If we go through history, we see that Allah SubHanahu wa Ta'ala sent Prophets and Messengers one after the other. Allah Himself says in Surah Mu'minoon that to every nation He sent a Guide. All these Prophets and Messengers were given a fixed period of time. They used to call people towards Islam and when their mission was completed, after a fixed period of time, Allah saved the Believers alongwith the Messenger and Punishment was sent down on those who rejected.
This punishment could have been sent within a few days of the start of the Mission of the Prophets, because Allah already knew that no more than those few who have Believed will accept Islam. But this was not the case. Nooh 'Alaihis Salaam preached for 950 years. Similarly, other Prophets spent their lives calling people to Islam. Why the punishment was not sent earlier? Because the Message was not delivered to everyone.
Since the previous Prophets were sent only for a limited area and time, when they finished delivering the Message to them, Allah saved the Believers and rejecters of Truth were caught.
Our Prophet Sallallaahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam was sent for the whole of humanity. Now the Message has to reach each and every individual before we can expect Allah's punishment on the rejecters of Truth.
Therefore, this Ummah should stand up and engage itself in the work of Da'wah. There are various forms of Da'wah. In the least bit, displaying good Islamic characters to the non-Muslims is also a form silent Da'wah.
Indeed, Allah's help is already seen with those who are calling people towards Islam.
