But with the increase in Dawah efforts, in the number of activities and growth of the strength of the organization, the anti-Islamic forces will take notice of the multifarious activities of the Movement.

pp.59-60
Similarly, the centuries-old prejudices of Christian missionaries, anti-Islam secular forces and media will also recognize the growth of the Islamic Movement and its activities. Alarming signals will be raised by the so-called "free press". The Judeo-Christian anti-Islam propaganda machinery will then let loose its game of hate against Islam and the mission of the Prophet Muhammad (S). Baseless allegations will be in the air. Filthy language will be coined and used against the workers (Da'ee). The movement will be termed as 'fanatics,' 'reactionaries,' 'conservatives,' 'fundamentalists' [latest “terrorists”] and whatnot. Workers may be harassed and teased here and there.
