By William Wagner<\/em><\/p>\n

Few Christians in the West are familiar with the Arabic word Da’wah.\u00a0 Many other words such as Jihad, Allah, Koran and Ramadan are now accepted words in many English language dictionaries, but Da’wah remains unknown.\u00a0 One of the reasons is that it is the quiet way that Muslims are attempting to make new converts to Islam especially in the West.\u00a0 Da’wah is their quiet revolution.\u00a0 They like to compare it to a story that is popular in the Middle East.\u00a0 It goes like this:<\/p>\n

An Arab was making a long trip across the desert.\u00a0 During the day the heat can be scorching, but at night it can get bitter cold.\u00a0 On one especially cold night, the Arab was in his nice warm tent where some embers kept the environment warm.\u00a0 As the man began to go to sleep, he noticed a large camel nose sticking in under the tent.<\/p>\n

\u201cCamel,\u201d he said, \u201cwhy is your nose in my tent?<\/p>\n

\u201cO Master,\u201d he replied, \u201c it\u2019s so cold out here, and if only my nose were warm, then I could have a good night\u2019s sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Arab thought it over and allowed him to keep his nose in.\u00a0 A little later the man awoke and saw that the camel now had his whole head in the tent.\u00a0 \u201cWhat are you doing, Camel? You said you only wanted your nose in the tent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cO Master, you just do not know how cold it is out here, and if my head is in the tent, then I will be satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n

After thinking it over, the Arab agreed and he went back to sleep.\u00a0 Once again he was awakened, this time to find that the camel had his head, neck, and two feet in the tent.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cCamel, this is too much.\u00a0 You must stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cO Master, now I am really comfortable.\u00a0 I can sleep the whole night through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cO.K. said the Arab, \u201cbut this is the last time”<\/p>\n

Later in the night the Arab awakened to discover that the tent was now full with the whole body of the camel inside the tent, and the Arab had little room.\u00a0 \u201cCamel\u201d he shouted. \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are not happy with the ways things are then get out of my tent, you stupid Arab.\u201d Was the camel\u2019s reply\u2019<\/p>\n

Da\u2019wah is Islam\u2019s method of taking a little bit at a time always using somewhat convincing arguments as to why we should accept them.\u00a0 The results could be rather dangerous for us in the West.<\/p>\n

Da\u2019wah could be compared to our word “Missions.”\u00a0 The meaning of the word is “to call” or “to invite.”\u00a0 It is an activity that embraces Muslims going out into the world and inviting non-Muslims to come to Islam.\u00a0\u00a0One of the reasons that Islam is one of the world’s fastestest growing religions is the fact that many within Islam practice Da’wah. Another important word in Arabic is the word daa\u2019i that means missionary.\u00a0 As Christians send out missionaries to the far corners of the earth so does Islam.\u00a0 In fact my studies have convinced me there are now more daai\u2019s working in the United States that there are Christians missionaries from the U.S. working in all the Muslim countries in the world.\u00a0 They are being very successful in their mission work.<\/p>\n

The leading institution in this renewal of missions from Muslims is “The World Muslim League” located in Mecca.\u00a0 They are the ones that both developed their modern strategy and also finance most of their work.\u00a0 They continuously claim great success.\u00a0 They are developing a form of Islamic Ecumenicalism whereby they are trying to bring together the various branches of Islam to work together for the purpose of establishing a worldwide umma (Nation of Islam).\u00a0 In Iraq the Shiites and the Sunnis might be waging a civil war but there is much more of a unity in their attempt to make the World Muslim.<\/p>\n

But what is their strategy?\u00a0 Who are they targeting?\u00a0 Here are some examples<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. University students.<\/strong>\u00a0 One group they specialize in is foreign students going to school in the United States.\u00a0 They see them as being future leaders in their countries of origin and since many daai’s are also foreign students it gives them a natural bridge for contacts.\u00a0 An important part of their strategy is to work with the foreign students studying in America.\u00a0 They send students here to study and also as act as missionaries to their fellow foreign students.\u00a0 They have had much success.\u00a0 Another strategy is to build large expensive buildings for a University\u2019s department of religion.\u00a0 Once the building is finished they retain control of the program by insisting that the head of the department be a Muslim.<\/li>\n
  2. Prisoners.<\/strong>\u00a0 They have an active Da’wah work in many prisons in America.\u00a0 It has been estimated that they win about 30,000 prisoners every year to Islam.\u00a0 Often those they win are the more aggressive types thus they are easy recruits in the future for Islamic terrorist organizations. In a recent book written about this entitled Islam in the Big House by Stephen Schwartz, the author states that there is a real danger that our prisons in America are becoming training centers for Wahhabi extremism.<\/li>\n
  3. American Indians.<\/strong>\u00a0 Islam feels that the Native American religions have much in common with Islam.\u00a0 They even claim that many early Indians converted to Islam via slaves that came to the United States.\u00a0 In Gallup, New Mexico, the so-called Indian Capital of America you will find a large new Mosque on the main street.\u00a0 One of their main training centers for the West is located in the Indian populated area of Northern New Mexico.\u00a0 Their Mosque and training center is in Abiquiu, New Mexico.<\/li>\n
  4. Hispanics.<\/strong>\u00a0 Not only in the U.S.A. are they active but also in Central and South America.\u00a0 Since Spain at one time was Muslim they feel that this could convince many Hispanics that their natural religion is really Islam.\u00a0 In a recent article it was estimated that between 40,000 and 70,000 illegal Latin Americans had converted to Islam in the USA.\u00a0 Again they are having success with this group.<\/li>\n
  5. Public schools.<\/strong>\u00a0 Muslim speakers bureaus offering to come and give free cross-cultural lessons to their students have contacted most schools in America.\u00a0 They claim that all students need to know more about other cultures.\u00a0 In California they have been successful in that many schools have invited Muslim teachers to come to the school and teach the basics of Islam.\u00a0 In some cases\u00a0young people take Muslim names put on Muslim clothing and practice some Muslim religious procedures such as prayers, Ramadan and the pilgrimage. In a textbook used in the California schools dealing with world history for seventh graders, there were 74 pages dedicated to Islam and only two pages for Christianity and most of this was for the Roman Catholic Church.\u00a0 Their infiltration into the schools is not accidental but a well-planned strategy. Of course it would be forbidden for Christians to do the same.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Islam sees Da’wah as an important and useful tool in their search for world dominance.\u00a0 It is not correct for us as Christians to condemn what they do through Da’wah but it is necessary to understand the dynamics of Da’wah as we seek to reach Muslims with the message of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
