Q 3: What are the means used by the West to promote their ideas?
Page 217
A: The means used by the West to promote their ideas are numerous, including:
1 ­Trying to take over the minds of young Muslims and implant the Western concepts in their minds to think that the best way is that of the West in everything; in thought, religions and beliefs, or even the languages they speak, the morals they adopt, or their customs and ways.
2 ­ Caring for a wide range of Muslims in every country and educating them until they return to their countries after being imbibed with Western ideas, the West surrounds them with an aura of great praise and commendation so as to enable them to receive leadership positions in their countries. This way they propagate Western ideas and establish educational institutions complying with the western curriculum or subject to it.
3 ­ Their activation to teach Western languages in Islamic countries and make their language compete with that of the Muslims, especially the Arabic language that is the language of the Noble Qur'an, the language with which Allah sent down His Book, and that with which Muslims worship their Lord in Salah (prayer), Hajj (pilgrimage), Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah), and other acts. Their methods include supporting the destructive calls fighting the Arabic language and trying to weaken the Muslims holding fast to it in the lands of Islam through the invitation to adopt slang language, and carry out many studies designed to develop and spoil grammar, and the glorification of the so­called folklore and national heritage.
4 ­ Establishment of Western universities, missionary schools, nurseries, kindergartens, hospitals and clinics in Muslim countries and making them nests for their bad purposes and encouraging the high class members of the society to study at these institutions and helping them, after that, to take over leadership and senior positions so as to make them helpful to their teachers in achieving their goals in Muslim countries.
5 ­ Trying to control the curriculum in the Muslim world and shape its policy, either directly, as what has happened in some Muslim countries when Dunlop, a priest, undertook that task, or indirectly such as when the task is fulfilled by successful students who have studied and graduated from Dunlop schools, where most of them have become a destructive element in their countries as well as the ultimate weapon of the enemy through working hard to make education take a secular trend and not be founded on belief in Allah and His Messenger, but to make it proceed towards atheism and call for corruption.
6 ­ Large numbers of the Christians and Jews undertook studying Islam and the Arabic language, and compile books and taught at universities, which resulted in their producing great intellectual dissension among the intelligentsia of Muslims through the doubtful matters they present to their students or with which their books ­ that are widely spread in Muslim countries ­ are filled. Some of those books even became references referred to by some writers and researchers in intellectual or historical matters. Those Orientalists taught Muslim men who graduated and had a large share in bringing about the Great Sedition, where they were helped by the praise and admiration they met everywhere as well as their important positions in education, direction and leadership, where they completed what their teachers had begun and achieved what they failed to do, thanks to their being Muslims and natives of Muslim countries, where they belong to them and speak their own tongue. Allah is the One sought for help!
7 ­Large numbers of Christian missionaries preach Christianity among Muslims. They fulfill such a mission depending on studied foundations and through large means, where hundreds of thousands of men and women have been recruited and the largest budgets have been set, and ways are facilitated before them, and obstacles have been removed: They intend to put out the Light of Allâh (i.e. the Religion of Islâm, this Qur'ân, and the Prophet Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) with their mouths. But Allâh will bring His Light to perfection even though the disbelievers hate (it).
While this effort mostly targets common people, the efforts of Orientalism targets the intellectuals as mentioned earlier. They bear difficulties to achieve this work in Africa and the remote Muslim territories in East Asia and elsewhere. Every now and then they meet at conferences to review their assessments and consider their plans to make corrections and adjustments and innovate new methods. They met in Cairo in 1906, in Edinburgh in 1910, in Lucknow in 1911, in Al­Quds in 1935, and in Al­Quds again in 1935. They are still holding meetings and conferences. Glory be to Him in Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything and to Him return all affairs (for decision).
8 ­ They are also calling for corrupting Muslim community and making women reluctant to
