Indian preacher Zakir Naik is banned from UK

[kite runner]

as-salamu `alaykum !

It's unbelievable !!
They are afraid of the truth. Dr Zakir is a man who knows a lot of things about religions and many people became muslims because of him !
It's the reason of his ban !

Yuriduna an yutfi'u nuraLlahi waLlahu mutimmu nurihi wa law kariha l-kafirun !!!!!!

i agree insha'allah the ban will be lifted

 

[aadil77]

I understand that he respects Prophet Isa. But Prophet Isa and Jesus Christ are two, very different beings. Jesus never told His followers to go and fight. Never.

so jesus was a pacifist?

jesus of the bible tells people to murder others not just fight:

Ezekiel 9:5-7 "Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children.

I think it will be difficult with the zionist controlled media

But what if the British court does overturn the exclusion order? You know Dr. Zakir has delivered many lectures in UK so they know him and also know what type of man he is. He is just no threat at all! So I think, if the British courts really work on principles of justice, then they would have no choice but to allow him in.

But Allah knows best. And we can only pray. imsad

 

[Banu_Hashim]

This is ridiculous, the home office has taken something out of context and on that pretext banned an internationally renowned speaker on Islam, a scholar of Comparitive religion and a medical doctor by profession. Yet again, another display of a ignorance. The government like to define the word "terrorist" how they like to define it, and want to apply it to who whoever they want to apply it to! The conservatives are not good for Muslims! To be honest, Labour, despite their, many flaws were better for Muslims in the UK.

The Zionist controlled government will not change it's mind anyway, otherwise the British media will accuse them of a U-turn and of "cowardice" and letting in "hate preachers" and it will make the look like fools

Action Alert

i agree insha'allah the ban will be lifted

Yes insha' Allaah. But the ban will not be lifted unless we lift our behinds of the couch and do something.

About 25 people have replied to this thread, voicing their concerns about the unjustified Ban of Dr Zakir Naik. Which is very good. But these concerns will not help Dr Zakir Naik and good community relations unless we put them into a letter and send them to the appropriate people. We can start by writing a letter to the Home secretary urging her to lift the ban immediately.

Here is a sample letter which was forwarded to me via email. I urge everyone to please personalize this letter and send it to:

The Home Secretary

Right Honourable Theresa May MP

2 Marsham Street
London
SW1P 4DF

Tel: 020 7219 5206

Tel: 020 7035 4848

Fax: 020 7219 1145

Please FWD to others. Jazak Allaah Khayr

Dear Home Secretary

Re: Dr Zakir Naik - Exclusion Order Ref: BOM/1238857

I am writing to inform you that I believe your decision to exclude Dr Zakir Naik, the eminent Islamic Scholar from India, from entering the United Kingdom to conduct a series of lectures as part of a Peace Conference, is extremely disappointing.

I am concerned that you have totally ignored the fact that the whole aim of Dr Zakir Naik’s UK tour is about anti terrorism, unity and brotherhood. His public appearance will be focused on the following very important topics:

1. Sheffield – Understanding Islam and Peace - Revealing A Critical Insight on Islam and Peace

2. Wembley – Universal Brotherhood - Presenting the Emphasis of Islam on Amity and Unity

3. Birmingham NEC – Freedom of Expression: An Islamic Perspective - Urging the Protection of Fundamental and Human Rights

Your decision goes against the values we hold dearly in our country of freedom and social justice and does nothing to promote integration and harmony between the diverse peoples of this land.

The evidence used by the Home Secretary and the Entry Clearance Officer (YouTube 2006) has been clearly taken out of context. Dr Zakir Naik is clearly saying he is against terrorism, but as a society we need to work against anti social behaviour, robbery etc. These are conservative values. In any other context no single innocent person should be terrorised.

On the contrary this decision is likely to alienate the very people we seek to promote our values to.

Furthermore over 35,000 plus people have been booked to attend these events, and millions of Muslims in the UK and worldwide expect to view these events on digital media. That is the entire UK Muslim population you have alienated with your decision to refuse entry.

You will be aware of the fact that Dr Zakir Naik runs digital channel Peace TV from India which has a viewership of 200 million Muslims and non-Muslims worldwide who will be horrified by your illogical decision based on miniscule and vastly manipulated understanding of his comments from a YouTube video.

Home Secretary, I would urge you to re-consider your decision in the name of freedom and social justice and withdraw this exclusion order immediately.

Thank you in anticipation of re-considering your decision.

Yours sincerely,

Your Name

Re: Action Alert

Good letter, well worded mashallah. Insha'allah it will help

Please use it to compose your letter and send it also. It does not have to be a long letter, even a few sentences will do, urging for the ban to be lifted and why...

Jazak Allaah Khayr

salaam

so they ban him from comming to the UK................but you can still watch him at Peace TV in the UK???? whats that all about?

peace

Won't be long before Peace TV gets banned too.

Won't be long before Peace TV gets banned too.

Luckily it can't be banned easily since its on a few different satellites, one of which is owned by Saudi. Then again I wouldn't put it past Saudi.

 

[Rabi Mansur]

I was looking through the quotes they used against him and realized just how out of context they were taken. Most of them were easy to explain. Then I came across the following quote which troubled me quite a bit. I really couldn't rationalize this one.

“Beware of Muslims saying Osama Bin Laden is right or wrong, I reject them… we
don’t know. But if you ask my view, if given the truth, if he is fighting the enemies
of Islam, I am for him. I don’t know what he’s doing. I’m not in touch with him. I
don’t know him personally. I read the newspaper. If he is terrorizing the terrorist, if
he is terrorizing America the terrorist, the biggest terrorist, he’s following Islam”

But then upon a little more investigation I found that this was from a speech he gave in 1996, this was like 5 years BEFORE 9/11. At that point in time, I'm not sure if people really understood what Bin Laden was all about. I highly doubt after 9/11 he ever said anything that could be construed to be accepting of Bin Laden. After all, Bin Laden is clearly guilty of the murder of hundreds of innocent people including many Muslims.
I doubt that Zakir Naik would agree in the least with his own statement made back in 1996.

But then I found this little gem:

In a lecture delivered on 31 July 2008 on Peace TV, Naik argued that 9/11 "it is a blatant, open secret that this attack on the Twin Towers was done by George Bush himself", to give Bush reason to attack and control oil-rich countries.[28

Come on! REALLY? Isn't he smarter than that???
Does he really believe that? I find this hard to believe. REALLY???

:wa:

All we can say is Allah knows best, there were a hell of a lot of questionable events surrounding 9/11
