Zakir Abdul Karim Naik Crown Prince & Rich Descendant of Osama Bin Laden: By Dr.

Hussain
Times always teach the human beings but human ignore the past and try to live happily in present and dream future. 9/11 and many other misfortunes taught us several lessons to protect ourselves on priority and do not leave a room for any terrorism but our basic needs for survival deprive human from this most important elements. Naik, the descendant of a terror legend Osama has been trying to evaluate him a right replacement of Osama Bin Laden and successfully delivered thousands of anti-moderate world lectures through his selfowned TV Channel Peace TV. It has been observed that Naik never allowed entering Europe, Canada and USA but his mission is there and he is working well to create the hell for human beings. He is very intellectually brain washing the youth of a particular sect who has roots around the world. Osama Bin Laden was alone danger but Naik is having a large force for implementation of his so called self-determining aspects of Islam of his adopted sect which can harm the world anytime. Naik advocated Osama as right persons and if world call Osama as terrorist, Niak said, all of Muslim (belong his sect) are terrorist. Naik is collecting about Pakistan Rupee over 5 Billion a year from overseas Pakistanis and from the same sect living in Pakistan. His fund raising ceremonies are widely sponsored by other terrorist organization, to destruct the world peace and harmony. Naik, a poorly born person! How he became a trillioner in a short time and how he established his network in a Hinduism own country? Who have been his sponsors for establishing Peace TV a full time risk for rest of the world? Who is behind this man? How he can insult the religions adopted by majority of human beings? Islam never allow anyone to do so, Islam is a religion of peace and harmony. Why and how he alone can object the religions of the world? Why he is hiding his face undercover of inter-religion dialogue. He is the right person who can lead the Taliban Salfi sect while due to his media propaganda he is developing anti-USA youth force in the world. Osama Bin Laden was a handicap who was not having the modern tool of war as compare to Naik! Who have knowledge about modern world and their religions, he has his own media channel, he does not mind to go to Mander or Church because he is a juggler who has well commands over his show. I would like to write few of the new Osama saying with timeline and reference for the sake of discloser of secrets of Naik: Newly Born Osama Bin Laden from the face of Naik admitted the followings facts and bravely said: Naik's views and statements on terrorism have at times been criticized in the media. In a YouTube video, speaking of Osama bin Laden, Naik said that he would not criticize bin Laden. He added that, "If bin Laden is fighting enemies of Islam, I am for him," and that "If he is terrorizing the terrorist, if he is terrorizing America the terrorist, biggest terrorist I am with him. Every Muslim should be a terrorist. The thing is that if he is terrorizing the terrorist, he is following Islam. Whether he is or not, I dont know, [25][26] but you as Muslims know that, without checking up, laying allegations is also wrong."

According to Naik, Taliban has been demonized by channels like BBC and CNN. He claims that Taliban [30] respect women a lot and fake videos of Taliban are being shown on the T.V. channels. In 2010, Naik said that he had been quoted out of context regarding the remarks on terrorism. "As far as terrorist is concerned," he said, "I tell the Muslims that every Muslim should be a terrorist. ... What is the meaning of the word terrorist? Terrorist by definition means a person who terrorizes. So in this context every Muslim should be a terrorist to each and every anti-social element. In a lecture delivered on 31 July 2008 on Peace TV, Naik commented on the attacks of 11 September: "it [28] is a blatant, open secret that this attack on the Twin Towers was done by George Bush himself".

Propagation of other faiths in Islamic states

Naik says that propagation of other religions within an Islamic state is forbidden while he appreciates people of other religions allowing Muslims to freely propagate Islam in their country. Naik explains this by saying that, for example, mathematics teachers must teach that 2+2=4 and not 2+2=3 or 5. Likewise, Naik argues, regarding building of churches or temples, how can we allow this when their religion is [29] wrong and when their worshipping is wrong? In August 2006 Naik's visit and conference in Cardiff caused controversy when Welsh MP David Davies called for his appearance to be cancelled. He said Naik was a "hate-monger", and that his views did not deserve a public platform

2010 exclusion from the UK and Canada

Naik was denied entry into the United Kingdom and Canada in June 2010. He was banned from entering the UK by Home Secretary Theresa May after arranging to give talks in London and Sheffield. May said of the exclusion order, "Numerous comments made by Dr Naik are evidence to me of his [35] unacceptable behavior". Naik argued that the Home Secretary was making a political decision and not a legal one, and his lawyer said the decision was "barbaric and inhuman". He also claimed that his [37] comments were taken out of context. Film producer Mahesh Bhatt supported Naik, saying the ban [38] constituted an attack on freedom of speech. It was reported that Naik would attempt to challenge the [39] [7] ruling in the High Court. His application for judicial review was dismissed on 5 November 2010. Naik was forbidden from entering Canada after Tarek Fatah, founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress, [36] warned MPs of Naik's views. Naik was ranked 89 on The Indian Express's list of the "100 Most Powerful Indians in 2010". He was [41] ranked 82 in the 2009 edition. According toPraveen Swami, Naik is "perhaps the most [42] influential Salafi ideologue in India". Sanjiv Buttoo says he is acknowledged as an authority on Islam, but is known for making negative remarks about other religions. (My Question is that how a poor class person without having any wealth or good back ground reaches this position by his own?) In The Wall Street Journal, Sadanand Dhume criticized Naik for recommending the death penalty for [44] homosexuals and for apostasy from the faith. He also criticized him for calling for India to be ruled by Shariah law. He added that, according to Naik, Jews "control America" and are the "strongest in enmity to Muslims." He maintained that Naik supports a ban on the construction of non-Muslim places of worship in Muslim lands as well as the Taliban's bombing of the Bamiyan Buddhas. Dhume argues that people reportedly drawn to Naik's message include Najibullah Zazi, the Afghan-American arrested for planning
[40] [35][36]

suicide attacks on the New York subway; Rahil Sheikh, accused of involvement in a series of train bombings in Bombay in 2006; and Kafeel Ahmed, the Bangalore man fatally injured in a failed suicide attack on Glasgow airport in 2007. He concluded that unless Indians find the ability to criticize such a radical Islamic preacher as robustly as they would a Hindu equivalent, the idea of Indian secularism [45] would remain deeply flawed. The Times of India published a profile of Naik entitled "The controversial preacher" after he was banned from the United Kingdom. According to The Times, "the fact is that barring the band of Muslims whose bruised egos Naik suitably massages through his Islam supremacist talks, most rational Muslims and non-Muslims find his brand of Islam a travesty of the faith". The Times also claimed that "the WahabiSalafist brand of Islam, bankrolled by petro-rich Saudi Arabia and propagated by preachers like Naik, [46] does not appreciate the idea of pluralism." The article quotes Muslim scholar Wahiduddin Khan: "Dawah, which Naik also claims to be engaged in, is to make people aware of the creation plan of God, not to peddle some provocative, dubious ideas as Naik does". He adds: "The wave of Islam-phobia in the aftermath of 9/11 and the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan have only added to the Muslims sense of injury. In such a situation, when a debater like Zakir Naik, in eloquent English, takes on preachers of other faiths and defeats them during debates, the [47] Muslims chests puff with pride". Indian journalist Khushwant Singh says he "disagree[s] with almost everything [Naik] has to say about misconceptions about Islam". Singh argues that Naik's pronouncements are "juvenile", and said "they seldom raise above the level of undergraduate college debates, where contestants vie with each other to [48] score brownie points". Singh also says Naik's audiences "listen to him with rapt attention and often [49] explode in enthusiastic applause when he rubbishes other religious texts". Yoginder Sikand wrote in 2011 that influential sections of the Deobandi community in India were beginning to hold a negative view of Naik. They said he was not abiding by ijma (Islamic consensus) and qiyas (analogical deduction of the Quran and Hadith), and therefore, in Sikand's view, was [50] undermining their authority. Torkel Brekke, a professor of religious history in Norway, calls Naik a "very controversial figure" because [51] of his rhetorical attack on other religions and other varieties of Islam. He writes that Naik is "strongly disliked" by many members of the Indian ulema for ignoring their authority and stating that anybody can [51] interpret the Quran. Conservative Deobandi mullahs have accused Naik of "destroying Islam" by [51] driving Muslims away from the correct religious authorities. While being lauded by some of his Muslim contemporaries for his dawah work and for the fact he has brought people to Islam, he has been criticized for his opposition to taqlid; that is, the following of one of [52] the four accepted madhabs, or schools, of Islam. Taqlid is one of the established principles of Islam, so [53] fundamental in fact that some have accused those who reject it of "deviancy", a much weightier claim than the word might otherwise indicate. However, Naik's claims have been repeatedly [54][55][56][57][58] challenged. Khaled Ahmed criticized Naik for "indirectly support[ing]" Al-Qaeda by referring to Osama bin Laden as a [59] "soldier of Islam". In 2008 an Islamic scholar in Lucknow, shahar qazi Mufti Abul Irfan Mian Firangi Mahali, issued a fatwa against Naik, saying that he supported Osama bin Laden, and that his teachings [60] were un-Islamic.

Praveen Swami considers Naik to be a part of the ideological infrastructure created to feed "Tempered [42] Jihad", which he defines as Jihad calibrated to advance Islamist political objectives. Swami argued that some of Naiks teachings are similar to those of organizations advocating violence, although Naik himself [61] emphatically rejects terrorism. According to Swami, Naik's IRF has proved to be a "magnet" for figures linked to the Lashkar-e-Taiba, while his message has mesmerised violent Islamists, and his works "help [42] make sense of the motivations of Indian recruits to the jihad."

Zakir Abdul Karim Naik (Urdu:

; born 18 October 1965) is an Indian public

speaker on the subject of Islam and comparative religion. He is the founder and president of the Islamic [1] Research Foundation(IRF), a non-profit organization that owns the Peace TV channel based [2][3] in Dubai, UAE. He is sometimes referred to as a televangelist. Before becoming a public speaker, he [3] trained as a doctor. He has written two booklets on Islam and comparative religion. He is regarded as [4] an exponent of the Salafi ideology; he places a strong emphasis on individual scholarship and the rejection of Taqlid, which has led him to repudiate the relevance of sectarian or Madh'hab designations, [5] all the while reaffirming their importance.

Biography
Zakir Abdul Karim Naik was born on 18 October 1965 in Mumbai, India. He attended St. Peter's High School in Mumbai. Later he enrolled at Kishinchand Chellaram College, before studying medicine at Topiwala National Medical College and Nair Hospital and later the University of Mumbai, where he [1] obtained a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS). His wife, Farhat Naik, works for the women's [6] section of the IRF. In 1991 he started working in the field of Dawah, and founded the IRF. Naik says he was inspired [8] by Ahmed Deedat, an Islamic preacher, having met him in 1987. (Naik is sometimes referred to as [8][9] "Deedat plus", a label given to him by Deedat himself.) Naik says that his goal is to "concentrate on the educated Muslim youth who have become apologetic about their own religion and have started to feel [10] the religion is outdated." He considers it a duty of every Muslim to remove perceived misconceptions about Islam and to counter what he views as the Western media's anti-Islamic bias in the aftermath of [11] the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. Some of his articles are published in magazines [12] such as Islamic Voice. Anthropologist Thomas Blom Hansen has written that Naik's style of memorizing the Quran and Hadith literature in various languages, and his related missionary activity, has made him [10] extremely popular in Muslim and non-Muslim circles. Many of his debates are recorded and widely distributed in video and DVD media and online. His talks are usually recorded in English and broadcast on weekends on several cable networks in Mumbai's Muslim neighborhoods, and on the Peace TV [13][14] channel, which he co-produces. Topics he speaks on include: "Islam and Modern Science", "Islam and Christianity", and "Islam and secularism". Naik is the founder of the Islamic International School in Mumbai.
[15] [7]

Lectures and debates

Naik has held many debates and lectures around the world. One of Naik's most-cited debates was with William Campbell in Chicago in April 2000 on the topic of "The Qur'an and the Bible: In the Light of [16] Science". Naik has said that "despite the strident anti-Islam campaign, 34,000

Americans have embraced Islam from September 2001 to July 2002." He says Islam is a religion of
reason and logic, and that the Quran contains 1000 verses relating to science, which he says explains the [17] number of Western converts. A popular theme of Naik's is to try to demonstrate how scientific theories were prophesized by the Quran. For example, he says certain verses of the Quran accurately [18] describe embryological development. On 21 January 2006 Naik held an inter-religious dialogue with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Bangalore about [19] the concept of God in Islam and Hinduism. In February 2011 Naik addressed the Oxford Union via video link from India.
[20]

Naik's views
Biological evolution
Naik has said that the theory of evolution is "only a hypothesis, and an unproven conjecture at [22] best". According to Naik, most scientists "support the theory, because it went against the Bible not [23] because it was true."

Apostasy
Naik has said that any Muslim is free to convert from Islam if the person so chooses, but added that if a Muslim converts and then speaks against Islam or propagates this other religion, it should be considered betrayal (as in treason to a country). Naik stated that under Islamic law this is punishable by death [24]

Terrorism
Naik's views and statements on terrorism have at times been criticized in the media. In a YouTube video, speaking of Osama bin Laden, Naik said that he would not criticise bin Laden. He added that, "If bin Laden is fighting enemies of Islam, I am for him," and that "If he is terrorizing the terrorist, if he is terrorizing America the terrorist, biggest terrorist I am with him. Every Muslim should be a terrorist. The thing is that if he is terrorizing the terrorist, he is following Islam. Whether he is or not, I dont know, [25][26] but you as Muslims know that, without checking up, laying allegations is also wrong." In 2010, Naik said that he had been quoted out of context regarding the remarks on terrorism. "As far as terrorist is concerned," he said, "I tell the Muslims that every Muslim should be a terrorist. ... What is the meaning of the word terrorist? Terrorist by definition means a person who terrorizes. In a lecture delivered on 31 July 2008 on Peace TV, Naik commented on the attacks of 11 September: "it [28] is a blatant, open secret that this attack on the Twin Towers was done by George Bush himself".

Propagation of other faiths in Islamic states

Naik says that propagation of other religions within an Islamic state is forbidden while he appreciates people of other religions allowing Muslims to freely propagate Islam in their country. Naik explains this by saying that, for example, mathematics teachers must teach that 2+2=4 and not 2+2=3 or 5. Likewise,

Naik argues, regarding building of churches or temples, how can we allow this when their religion is [29] wrong and when their worshipping is wrong?

Taliban
According to Naik, Taliban has been demonized by channels like BBC and CNN. He claims that Taliban [30] respect women a lot and fake videos of Taliban are being shown on the T.V. channels.

Other countries
Visit to Australia and Wales
In 2004 Naik, at the invitation of the Islamic Information and Services Network of Australasia, made an [31] appearance at Melbourne University, where he argued that only Islam gave women true equality. He [32] said the more "revealing Western dress" makes women more susceptible to rape. Sushi Das of Age commented that "Naik extolled the moral and spiritual superiority of Islam and lampooned other faiths and the West in general", further criticizing that Naik's words "fostered a spirit of separateness and reinforced [33] prejudice". In August 2006 Naik's visit and conference in Cardiff caused controversy when Welsh MP David Davies called for his appearance to be cancelled. He said Naik was a "hate-monger", and that his views did not deserve a public platform; Muslims from Cardiff, however, defended Naik's right to speak in the city. Saleem Kidwai, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Wales, disagreed with Davies, stating that "people who know about him [Naik] know that he is one of the most uncontroversial persons you could find. He talks about the similarities between religions, and how should we work on the common ground between them", whilst also inviting Davies to discuss further with Naik personally in the conference. The conference went ahead, after the Cardiff council stated it was satisfied that he would not [34] be preaching extremist views.

2010 exclusion from the UK and Canada

Naik was denied entry into the United Kingdom and Canada in June 2010. He was banned from entering the UK by Home Secretary Theresa May after arranging to give talks in London and Sheffield. May said of the exclusion order, "Numerous comments made by Dr Naik are evidence to me of his [35] unacceptable behavior". Naik argued that the Home Secretary was making a political decision and not a legal one, and his lawyer said the decision was "barbaric and inhuman". He also claimed that his [37] comments were taken out of context. Film producer Mahesh Bhatt supported Naik, saying the ban [38] constituted an attack on freedom of speech. It was reported that Naik would attempt to challenge the [39] [7] ruling in the High Court. His application for judicial review was dismissed on 5 November 2010. Naik was forbidden from entering Canada after Tarek Fatah, founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress, [36] warned MPs of Naik's views.
[35][36]

Reception
Naik was ranked 89 on The Indian Express's list of the "100 Most Powerful Indians in 2010". He was [41] ranked 82 in the 2009 edition. According toPraveen Swami, Naik is "perhaps the most [42] influential Salafi ideologue in India". Sanjiv Buttoo says he is acknowledged as an authority on Islam, [35] but is known for making negative remarks about other religions. Sadanand Dhume writes that Naik has a "carefully crafted image of moderation", because of his gentle demeanor, his wearing of a suit and tie,
[40]

and his quoting of scriptures of other religions. He is also mentioned in the book "The 500 most [citation needed] influential muslims 2011" under honourable mentions.

[43]

In The Wall Street Journal, Sadanand Dhume criticized Naik for recommending the death penalty for [44] homosexuals and for apostasy from the faith.
