00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.900
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:14.900
Missionary work and its role in the endeavor to remove Islam from the reality of Muslims.

00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:23.660
In truth, it is proselytization rather than missionary work, for its goal is to bring people into Christianity.

00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:31.660
If it fails in that, its primary concern becomes driving Muslims out of their religion, even if they do not enter the religion of the Christians.

00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:36.700
Missionary work and Orientalism share the same underlying objectives.

00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:40.700
Their methods overlap in order to achieve these goals.

00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:45.700
However, the primary field of Orientalism is culture and thought.

00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:51.700
Whereas missionaries focus their efforts on social and educational aspects.

00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:57.820
It comes to mind that missionary work is about bringing people into the Christian faith.

00:00:57.820 --> 00:01:03.820
And preaching to them the salvation from sins and entry into the kingdom of Allah, Paradise.

00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:06.819
It is responsive to that.

00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:12.819
But what is more important to missionaries in the Islamic world is driving Muslims out of their religion.

00:01:12.819 --> 00:01:18.819
As Reverend Zwemer clarified at the Jerusalem Missionary Conference.

00:01:18.819 --> 00:01:21.819
