In another controversy that sparked protest in the Muslim world, the home secretary of UK, Ms Thereasa May, has ordered to ban the entry of the world renowned Islamic Scholar Dr. Zakir Naik into the country. Dr. Zakir Naik is the president founder of Islamic Research Foundation which is based in Mumbai, India.
Ms Thereasa May said that entry into the country is a privilege and not a right of a foreign individual. She also added that all those people who promote hate and terrorism will not be allowed to enter into the territory of UK. She has alleged that Dr. Naik spreads hate speech and that he supports the actions of Osama Bin Laden.
The exclusion report submitted by the UK authorities essentially has few quotes from Dr. Naik’s lectures based on which they issued the Ban.
However, the quotes have been taken completely out of context from the speeches of Dr Naik. Instead he openly denounces terrorism in his speeches and lectures. He has been delivering lectures for the past 20 years and there is not a single lecture in which he appears to have supported terrorism.
His stance on Osama Bin Laden is based on the fact that a person cannot be called a terrorist unless he is proven guilty in the court of law. He clearly states that he neither considers Osama bin Laden to be a saint, nor a terrorist.
In an official statement released on June 17th, Dr. Naik has urged the British government to reconsider the ban as it is completely based on false perception. He says that the statements made by the home secretary are completely baseless and out of context.
Several Muslim organizations from around the world have protested this decision of the British government. Many groups in Britain are staging protest and appealing for a recall of this ban. Dr Naik is a well known personality amongst the Muslims who is revered by millions of his fans from around the world.
This Ban has been challenged by Dr. Zakir Naik in the high court.
Mean while, another renowned Islamic Canadian Scholar, Dr. Bilal Philips has also been denied entry into UK on June 19th. He was asked to return back from the airport itself. Dr. Philips when asked about the incident, replies ”The world’s getting smaller every day. UK used to be my most common lecture tour (5-6 times per year). Guess Allah wanted me to stop travelling. Or at least to the west”.

dr.zakir naik should not be banned.
Zakir Bhai has been quoted out of context by the brits. Even if we assume for a moment that he said those things wayback in 2006. The British govt has decided to invoke the ban after 4 years(wow). So much for jet age and time travel etc. Its nothing but hypocrisy, Where is the so called FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION During the recent US elections a high ranking bishop in US Fervently quoted” America has a mission and it is to crush Islam” ironically that bishop was sharing the dias with John McCain. Is this not terrorism, is this not inciting and fermenting trouble and causing mayhem. There are numerous speeches of Israeli serving ministers spewing venom and hatred against Arabs and Muslims. Are these peaceful speeches in any way.
In early nineties Benny Hill a Christian missionary from US made rude remarks against Hindu religion and upset the whole Hindu community and yet he was allowed in India.
The TRUTH is, this is an orchestrated campaign by the west to malign Islam and Muslims. A futile effort to engage & keep Muslims busy in trivial matters. Propaganda to project Muslims in bad light. First it was cartoons, minaret ban, offensive novels & films, burkha ban etc. Now the west is changing gears of banning Muslim individuals.
Bernard shaw professed that Islam is the only capable religion that would rule Europe in the next 100 years. That prophecy is coming true. People are reverting back to their religion of the creator in hordes. This is causing sleepless nights to Europe & Vatican .Hence all this hue and cry. Zakir Naik has literally exposed the Christian clergy of their inability to know the truth about their own religion leave alone Islam. Many a times Christian debaters have been found wanting of genuine answers posed by Muslim debaters. In fact it is a known fact that many a times Muslim scholars have educated the Christian priests about some facts in bible. A lot of Christian priest are themselves unaware of what is in the bible.
A lot of queries by sincere and innocent Christian masses goes unanswered, the priests try to cover up their ignorance saying, DON’T ASK, JUST FOLLOW. This is what is leading to hordes of sincere Christians in pursuit of true faith to adopt and embrace Islam as Islam has all the answers to all the questions. But TRUTH shall prevail & Falsehood shall vanish as Almighty God is the BEST OF PLANNERS
Tzipi Livni Israeli minister along with her accomplices ordered the aerial bombardment and artillery assault on residential areas in Lebanon. For 34 days she authorized troops to make 12,000 aerial sorties, to fire 100,000 artillery shells, damaging 350 schools and destroying 15,000 houses in Lebanon. 130,000 homes were partially damaged. The attacks destroyed water sources, hospitals, power stations and other infrastructure essential to life. 900,000 people were forced to leave their homes and remain without shelter for many days. Some 1,200 people were killed, and 4,400 were wounded: approximately 30% of the dead, about 360, were children under the age of 13. Yet Prime minister Gordon Brown said ‘ She is always welcome in Britian’. I guess Zakir Naik will have to resort to the same level of madness in order to be welcomed by the prime minister of UK or maybe the PM can impress upon Home Secretary to change her opinion and welcome Zakir Bhai. Either way it is UK’s loss if it denies entry to such a luminary like Zakir Naik into thier country.
this is a clear hypocrisy by the home secretery of UK. freedom of expression is completely halted..just considering few unproved quotes from an orator and imposing ban on his entry in to the country is not acceptable.i personally watched many of his speeches which always prevails peace and only peace. this is more like a racist attack by british govt which has laws opposing racism
well said ,Fair view
actually it is not the uk govt. that is doing all this mess, these peolple are just the puppets at the hands of Vatican & zionist jews. they do foollow their orders and execute them properly. this all is just another conspiracy to malign islam and peace loving people.
By banning dr naik from entering uk ,they are pushing themselves into more and more darkness. rather than getting angry ,i m having pity on these hypocrites.
now just pray to ALLAH that dr zakir naik gets entry in uk
aameen
A terrorist can never accept peace loving personalities. A terrorist can accept a terrorist only and Dr. Zakir Nayek is one of them who love peace to be spread in the world.
The most misunderstood of the major religions today is Islam, It also gains more converts than any of the other religions.
It has been deliberately mistorted among christians by missionaries,priest and pastors for vested intrests.
Prejudice against Islam was spread in Christendom by missionaries from the time Muslims gained dominance in the Middle East, North Africa and Spain . Christian crusaders failed in their missions to crush Islam in its homeland but continued to vilify its Prophet and his teachings.
Deliberate attempts have been constantly undertaken to spread malicious lies and propaganda against Islam and Muslims. Innocent Christian masses have been brainwashed into believing that Islam has not descended from Abrahamaic religions.
False lies have been fabricated against Islam and Muslims and peoples minds have been programmed into believing these. Any attempts by free and unprejudiced Christians have been nipped in the bud by branding them as renegades.
Spies have been selected and slipped among Muslims to create confusion, disorder and chaos. Christian spies posing as Muslims have been inducted to act and indulge in activities that will spread hatred and dislike of Islam and Muslims.
Various issues like cartoon, denigrating films, books, bans have been invoked to provoke Muslims into projecting them as violence prone. Pseudo militant groups have been formed to forment trouble by linking their activities to be that of Islam and acting on behalf of Islam. Specific meanings of verse of Quran have been manipulated and distorted to show that such activities are permitted by Islam.
Since then Islam phobia has been deliberately spread throughout the non-Muslim world. The principle aims of the anti-Islamic forces(read Masonic, Zionist & Christian) is to spread lies that Islam spread by the sword. While It has been proved by historical evidence that Islam was not forced upon the people; it was readily accepted by millions because it offered them new values, morals, piety, a lifeline to reach enlightment, a path to peace and prosperity in world and hereafter. A religion based on principally equality of mankind and rights to women that were unheard of in those times. Islam spread by peace, piety, prosperity ,tolerance, harmony and justice.
Hence efforts are ongoing to project the truth as vicious and the falsehood as the preferred.
BUT TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL AND FALSEHOOD SHALL VANISH AS FALSEHOOD IS EVER BOUND TO VANISH.
Muslim countries should adopt the TIT FOR TAT tactic. We should impose similar bans on missionaries, christian organizations etc.. As these are nothing but tools to spread Christianity and other distorted/concocted/made up religions and philosophies to misguide masses.
These organizations are disguised in the form of schools, hospitals and charity organizations. Their aims are twin fold, one to act as community sympathizers and second to act as spies for their masters. But their ulterior motive is to spread falsehood and subdue the truth.
Poor Muslim countries in Africa, Asia and elsewhere have been made specific targets since years and these lecherous guys have been gnawing away like termites by leading away masses by providing petty wordly objects and acting as thier saviors.
Christian countries have budgets set aside for such nefarious activities, all under the guise of relief and charity.
Muslim countries are sleeping under the cover of ignorance, ego and false belief that these guys are helping our masses, but in reality they are feeding us poison in the guise of food and medicine.
Rich Muslim countries’ money kept in undisclosed banks and institutions are being used to convert Muslims to pagan and satanic cults.
Its time Muslims wake up from their slumber and see the truth and adopt suitable measures to counter these evil designs. Wealth and resources are a gift and blessing from Allah Almighty and has to be used as per its right and capacity. Misuse of which will entail being questioned on judgment day.
Allah alone guide us onto the STRAIGHT PATH-ameen.
Mashalllah ,Fair View.so amazingly well said.
could not resist to put up ur words on a certain ( bismirched ) Muslim apologetic blog that shamelessly attempts to justify the UK ban!
Truly,guidance is only from Allah!
May Allah further energize your zeal for truth and Guide us all on the Straight Path. Aameen.
