As I've ever said in one thread, I do dawah too. However, the purpose of my dawah is not to make someone become Muslim, but to make people understand that Muslims and Islam is not as bad as some people assume.
Some of my maternal relatives are Protestant Christians. I studied in Catholic elementary school. I still have non-Muslim friends until now. I have no problem if someone who I know is not Muslim. As long as he/she respect Muslims and Islam, it's enough. But honestly, I am so sad with reality that happen nowadays.
I still remember the times in 70's when I was kid, in 80's and 90's when I was young. Other people didn't see Muslims and Islam in negative way. If they met Muslim man what they asked was not far from "Do you have more than one wife?". A question that made me laugh. But nowadays?. When they see a Muslim they warn the others "Beware!, the terrorist is coming!".
Islamophobia. This is what I see nowadays. There are many Muslims who become victims because this. They fall under suspicion, they are discriminated, just because they are Muslims, although they actually very tolerant and never want to hurt anyone. That's why I told myself :"I shall do something to save Muslims from Islamophobia".
Unfortunately, when I try to open the other people eyes to make them understand about Islam and Muslims, there are always Muslims who shout behind my back "Kill kuffar!, dominate the world!". Of course this make Muslims still in difficult position.
But I will never give up. I promise myself, I will always try to save innocent Muslims from Islamphobia, and will always try to remind the radical Muslims to back to concept of Islam that respect non-Muslims.
