00:08others are more effective the most common method or most common strategy used by the common muslim
00:16is for doing dawah to non-muslim is that when they meet the non-muslim they speak hundred good
00:23things about islam even if that non-muslim agrees with those hundred points that are good in islam
00:31yet at the back of his mind he will think ah you are the same muslim who's a terrorist
00:37ah you're the same muslim with the fundamentalist ah you're the same muslim who is an extremist
00:45ah you are the people who spread your religion with the sword
00:50ah you are the people who marry more than one woman you are the people who subjugate the woman
