Why then was I never shown this Islamic plan of salvation until I met you?
Well first of all because there isn't the sense of "being saved." We were never hell bound to begin with. It's a matter of Muslims showing one God's path.
You may never have been shown because you didn't know any Muslims, or those that you knew were acquainted with you on a business level or one that doesn't make it appropriate to discuss religion.
.Only after I asked you, you published it. [You probably did before and I never saw it, but you should publish, along with other Muslims in your faith often.]
Excuse me? What do you think I've been doing these past months??
You live in America. There aren't millions of Muslims in America. I'm sure you're contact with them is minimal. Just because you haven't heard of the Dawah does not mean Muslims don't do it. It may be you choose not to look at the places where Dawah is being given. Dawah cannot be forced upon someone. Either they are open minded to question their religion and consider new evidence or they attack the religion and insult it (as you and others have done before).
To say that Dawah hasn't reached you but Christian Missionaries have is totally unfair. You live in a Christian nation. Of course Missionaries have reached you. And Muslims want to as well. But one has to be willing to receive it.
I find it strange that if your plan of salvation is the way to God, it is not publishized more frequently, like Christians publicise the Christian faith.
Again, it's publicized extensively. Muslim financial aide in the West isn't exactly strong. There are many organizations (ISNA, ICNA, CAIR, etc.) that are trying to do so but their efforts are sometimes only extend as far as free pamphlets or books. They don't have the backing of the U.S. government or million dollar loans. Try typing in "Dawah" in Yahoo's search box and see what comes up.
I can tell you Dawah is being spread everywhere. And part of that proof is in the fact you're receiving it right now.
Peace be unto you,
