A: Intellectual invasion is a modern term that means the set of efforts exerted by one nation to seize or influence another nation to make it adopt a certain attitude. It is more dangerous than military invasion, since intellectual invasion tends to be confidential and depends on hidden purposes in the first instance, which cannot be perceived by the invaded nation so as not to counter and resist it. Thus it finds itself falling prey to it. In consequence, this nation gets infected with vicious thoughts and feelings. It likes what its enemy likes and hates what it wants it to hate.

It is an incurable disease that destroys nations, kills the national character, and removes its features of originality and strength. The nation afflicted with it does not feel what happens to it or even recognize it. Thus it becomes difficult to treat it and make it understand the right way, which becomes very difficult.

This invasion takes place through school curricula, public culture, media, large and small publications, as well as other affairs of the nation, where the enemy's aim behind this is to divert it away from its creed and make it love and be affected by what it gives it. May Allah grant us safety and well being!
