country ideas people
But the West is trying to weaken Islam from outside and inside. They attack our people and invade our countries from outside, and they weaken us from within with ideas like secularism, liberalism and democracy. This is all designed to contaminate our pure Islam.

The Prophet defeated the enemies of Islam even when he and his followers were small in number.
