Zakir Naik's aim is to spread hatred, create instability: Shiv Sena


Mumbai, Sep 13 (Midday News): In a scathing attack on controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, the Shiv Sena today alleged that his objective was to "spread hatred" among the people and "destabilise" the country by following a "policy of terrorism and conversion to make India an Islamic state".

The Sena said Naik's contention that if he and his NGO Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) were banned, it would be an injustice to 20 crore Muslims of the country, is a ploy to "intimidate" the police against taking any action against him to avoid public backlash.

"If Zakir Naik had not been exposed after the Dhaka carnage, he would have continued with his 'peace' work uninterrupted. The chief objective of people like him is to spread hatred in the minds of people and make the country instable," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' claimed.

"Their policy is to defeat Hindutva and establish an Islamic rule here. They use all tactics ranging from terrorism to caste conversions to achieve their goals," it added.

"Naik's statement that action against him would amount to injustice against all Muslims is to threaten the authorities against doing anything against him," it said.

Taking a dig at Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the ally of the ruling party in the state said going by the way he (Fadnavis) promptly responded to comedian Kapil Sharma over his bribe allegation against BMC officials, tomorrow he may even respond to Naik as well, considering that
several Islamic states across the world are caretakers of people like him (Naik).

Naik, in an an open letter recently, had stated that if he and IRF were banned, it would "set a precedence of unspeakable injustices against the 20 crore Muslims of India. This action will embolden and encourage every fringe element in the country to do as they please".

"The Muslim population is already feeling threatened and insecure and I can't even imagine how they will feel after this action. Muslims are bound to think that today it is Zakir Naik, tomorrow it could be anyone of them," he had written.

The 51-year-old medical practitioner-turned-Salafist preacher had also claimed that it was not an attack on him but against Indian Muslims as well as against peace, democracy and justice.

    There should have national laws penalizing with severe penalty for persons of any religion creating discord in the society. Now under the current rule of India, their big leaders like the CMs-Governors-and Ministers have special license in delivering dangerous messages of trouble making which is too sad.

    Only in India ideologies of hate irrespective of religious inclinations can survive and thrive. No one should be allowed to spread hate, and I repeat no one, bar none.

    He was banned in the West when he called on his followers to become terrorist, and to terrorize non Muslims. According to Mumbai police conversions to Islam were staged as he prepaid the equivalent of US Dollars Eight Hundred ($800.00) per person to anyone who would convert to Islam in front of his well oiled audience who would clap for anything and everything.

    Zakir continued his mission of hate for 20 long years and spewed venom wherever he went, but he was unchecked. To avoid communal riots and thanks to the far sightedness of the law authorities, thank God he was banned in Mangalore but he went unchallenged everywhere else. In fact senior political and even some religious leaders shared the dais with him. So the million dollar question is "Why are people who spread hate allowed to do so for years and years and then finally when a lot of damage is done they get banned? Why was this banned not imposed on him the day he started all this nonsense?

    We agree Zakir Naik's aim is to spread hatred, create instability: but what Shiva sena do in maharastra same thing. Both are same problem for our country. Must ban both, not only 1.

    God is one, religions are different because each and every person as different view point towards god. No religion is perfect because all religions are man made hence it is the duty of our present scholars to think about how it can be made better and help to restore normalcy in the world, rather than fighting for religious supremacy.

    Shiva Sena was terrorizing the people of South Indian origin in the beginning of the Sena march. How they can throw mud at him?
