Here is a clear explanation of da'wah from Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch:
Dawah is Islamic proselytizing. And in the Islamic law, dawah precedes jihad. You call the nonbelievers to Islam. And if they refuse to accept it, then you initiate the jihad against them. But the whole goal of both dawah and jihad is to impose Islamic law or Sharia upon the nonbelievers as a political system, not as a religious one.
Was that from this morning? Great interview and he did quite well explaining what’s really going on. God Bless.
Thank you for that info. You are right to be proud of your friend. He did very well.
