Don't convert people to any religion. Obey the Humanity Code

There is no need to try to convert somebody into Islam (or any religion for that matter).
People are best they way they are, that's their path. You might want to help them with home work, and help them understand the world better, or if they're going to spend time with you, you might want to guide them what you are, and how you want to be treated. Ofcourse, they'll want the treatment back.
I recently saw a question about, how to convert "my dearest" to Islam?
There is no need at all to convert anybody.
Let's not forget that even the Prophet of Islam was said to be "only the one who reminds". So if he is "only" that, and we too become those who remind, so what does that make him? A Book bringer? No, he is the one who reminds. All other people, including us, are here to obey the humanity-code, which aren't even the 10 ancient commands. It's a couple of those: Don't hurt anybody (killing is hurting too, and it does a lot of hurting to the family of the dead, and stealing from somebody hurts them), don't cheat anybody (that means don't cheat spouse, neighbour, customer, teacher, boss - because you're hurting them). Hurting is also done by getting a job with bribery, or doing things with bribery. Somebody else who "deserves" it more might have needed that job more than you, who cheated.

I can't think of more. Hurting and cheating, in most of their forms.
Sometimes, it is inevitable to hurt somebody some way. If we don't help somebody, and if we could, we are hurting them. Sometimes, we can do something without even knowing that other people would be hurt from that deed.

So bringing people to Islam brings nothing to nobody. Your dearest ones will be with you in your life the way they are now.
If you change them, they won’t be those whom you love, but some changed people. If you try to change them, you won’t be what you are to them. You’re going to be somebody else to them.
Don’t lose your relationship with those whom you love. You already love them, so that’s Islam for all of you.
If you - as a Muslim - love them, that means they are good people. But if they’re some sort of criminals and bad people, like killers and so on, but you love them, then change yourself.
Them being Muslims will bring absolutely nothing to any of you. Only a chance that some of them might run into a scripture that tells them how music is wrong. And they’ll turn to be boring.

Also, you could be hurting them if you act in order to convert them. They'll know that you feel how those whom you love are not perfect enough for you.

Gaining publicity by any means

News try to achieve clicks and sales by using tricks, not quality. That's why we see titles, mainly on online portals, being unfinished, not revealing anything. Some go to that extent to only say: "You won't believe what happened with this (particular guy)", without giving absolutely no traces of at least where the guy is, what's the general situation. Sometimes, they add the situation, but it's still repulsing. Like: "Look at what happened when this guy stood in front of a lion." I was kind of used to see that being used by gossip trash papers, or trash portals. But now we see sports related portals are doing it, I mean, you don't need to trick people to click your portal, they're sport lovers, they're gonna read your portal anyway - they're here for the sport, and there is always a lot of sport. But, even they can't rely on having so many sports being sported every day. Why? I don't know. People are, I guess, just browsing

Leaving out spirituality for helping poor people, leaving out religious classes from schools

We are of opinion that religious people should get along with a secular state, and accept that religion should not be taught at school. This is very important for Islam, because the Western-world's religion, at least in Europe, is becoming more secular anyway, and the religious principals of Christianity are becoming reformed, while Islamic thought is not.
