Zakir Naik's success is impressive, lectured about Islam to many but he needs to change his confrontational attitude. Show Islam is peace.
Dr. Zakir Naik has never supported terrorism, it is a fact but he has refused to condemn Osama Bin Laden saying that he can't confirm what the West is saying about him, whether he is really involved in terrorism or not he has not way of knowing that. At the same time he calls USA "biggest terrorist in the world," then, the question is how did he arrive at that conclusion? He trusts the media in one instance but not the other.
If Dr. Naik doesn't trust the media then he should launch his own investigation. Go to Pakistan, Afghanistan and get a first hand information. Fortunately, or unfortunately, he had a big platform that reaches a lot of Muslims therefore, it is his responsibility to set the records straight and investigate what he is not sure about.
I for one, not going to buy his argument that he doesn't know much about Osama and his activities so can not praise or condemn him. There are enough evidence of Osama and his associates involved in terrorism and Dr. Naik can not play ignorant of that.
We would like people from all over the world to support Dr. Zakir Naik on
the unjustified BAN given by U.K. government.
Please follow the website ZAKIR NAIK EXCLUSION for more details, and to know more on how to
support Dr. Zakir Naik.
With Best Regards

CLIPS OF PRESS CONFERENCE: [Dr Zakir Naik, Adv Majeed Memon and Mahesh Bhatt addressing the over 60 Media Correspondents / Representatives present

In another move made by UK authorities that would increase the already created controversy after the ban of world renowned Islamic scholar Dr. Zakir Naik, another personality Dr. Bilal Philips, who is a world renowned Canadian Islamic Scholar, was denied entry into UK.
This “entry denial” was not informed to him, prior to his visit by the UK authorities. Dr. Bilal Philips was scheduled to arrive in UK to attend the Quran Conference which was due to be held on 20th June. He arrived on June 18th for the same, only to get surprised that he was denied entry. He had no option but to return back to Doha.
In response to one of our correspondent, Dr. Bilal Philips said “Well, the inevitable finally happened. At least the British Home Secretary called Dr Naik in Mumbai prior to his trip and told him not to come. I arrived to London this Saturday morning, 19 June, at 8am only to denied entry and put back on a plane at 11am back to Doha! So, I was unable to attend the Qur’aan conference on the 20th as planned!!! Sorry to all who attended the conference expecting to hear from me or see me”. He further added “Allah is the best Protector and disposer of our affairs”.
According to the reports, Even the conference was harassed by the British National Party and had to change their venue at the last moment.
With the protests still on for the ban imposed on Dr. Zakir Naik, this denial of entry to another renowned personality of the Muslim world will only add more fuel to the ongoing controversy.
Muslims from around the world have protested that UK authorities, who were forefront in backing “freedom of expression and speech”, is acting otherwise।
There is every reason for Dr Zakir Naik to fight the ban on his entry in the United Kingdom. Dr Naik could challenge this decision of the British government in a suitable court of law and he has every right to do so. Also, he has very wisely advised his followers not to protest this ban in a violent manner. I would, however, like to contrast the situation with the fact that the same West has taught our books as textbooks for centuries in its Universities and built a remarkable civilization upon ‘our’ intellectual produce. Why is it now banning the entry of our person?
The initial remarks of Dr Zakir Naik in his interview are interesting. I contrast his words with the words of the Prophet (pbuh) – and I do not hesitate to do so because of the fact that Muhammad (pbuh) is our role model. The Prophet (pbuh) did not say that the people of Taif were afraid of the spread of Islam and of the fact that he was one of the most popular speakers. He did not involve his person. He had CONCERN – a seven letter word which is found mostly in dictionaries now. Dr Naik equates the ban on his entry with the curbing of Islam. I wonder if this is really the case.
May be there is a lesson here which we should not miss out upon. May be the West is not afraid of Islam as it is probably already there. May be it is afraid of Muslims (who think that Islam is dependent upon them). But then the West is not alone in this fear. There are Muslims who are afraid of Muslims. And justifiably so.
I still wonder if this (negative) development can be utilized for the positive projection of Islam. The ban on Dr Naik’s entry can achieve what his physical entry in the UK could not have, presumably. As for the message of Dr Naik, it can always reach the targeted audience in many other forms.
