Most of all, don't preach nor try to be forceful. They don't need to be preached to that their actions are Haram, for I'm sure they already know that but they are just too arrogant to not care. So you doing so will only create more resentment towards the 'Din.
Leave your favorite Islamic books around, read the Qur'an in front of them, pray in front of them, do the invites as I previously mentioned-- lead by example. I always found that sooner or later, people come back to the 'Din. So give him time and don't give up on him.

I appreciate the advice but in this case it seems that a little more is needed than this. MAy Allah reward you for it.
Its a specific act forbidden in the Quran and its ruining the peoples lives.

I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.
