Self proclaimed Islamic scholar and student of comparative religions Dr. Zakir Naik is a familiar name to Muslims and non Muslims alike, albeit for different reasons. While Muslims marvel at his “knowledge” and “wisdom”, others make good use of him for laughter therapy. Below are some of the grandiose statements made by this so called “scholar” and my unbiased attempt to dissect them. I do not know much about the Koran except for what I have read on this site and for this reason I chose to stick with the socio economic ideas of this man in an attempt to read his mind.
Dr. Naik – If two sisters were walking on the street, one in hijab and the other wearing a mini skirt, men would invariably eve tease the one wearing the skirt. So hijab protects the Muslim women from men and rape.
Reply – Don’t all countries have laws that protect women? It’s a different matter that laws in Islamic countries are heavily biased against women to the extent that they require more than one witness ( four in some countries) to prove a case against a man. In the civilized world of non Muslims, you cannot touch a woman even if she is in a bikini on the beach. This statement of Dr. Naik exposes the hypocrisy, double standards and status of women in Islamic countries. If you go by the way women are treated in Islamic societies, women there should be wearing the hijab to protect themselves from fellow Muslims!
Dr. Naik – The west talks of women’s liberation when in fact it exploits them. You find pictures of scantily dressed girls in ads to sell everything including cars.
Reply – True, but that in itself is a testimony to gender equality in the west. Nobody forces a girl to model and nobody has the right to object either. It is entirely up to the individual.
Dr. Naik – the western media exaggerates news of a 60 year old Arab marrying a 16 year old girl but plays it down when a 60 year old man in America rapes a 10 year old girl.
Reply – What exactly are you trying to compare here Dr. Naik? Rape is a crime and rape of a minor is a crime that is unpardonable and unacceptable in any civilized society. It is punishable under the law. But marriages like the one mentioned by our “scholar” is nothing but legally sanctioned rape of a minor. And this type of rape has the blessings of the Sharia in all Islamic countries. Let us also not forget that victims of this kind of rape are girls from poor families that are sexually exploited by rich Muslims in the garb of marriage and “helping” the family. I suppose Dr. Naik would call this Zakaat!
Dr. Naik – People in the west eat pork and hence behave like pigs. Pigs are the only animals in the world that invite their friends to have sex with their partners. Westerners also do the same.
Reply – If eating pork makes you behave like a pig, Dr. Zakir Naik has just dropped a bombshell on the Islamic world by indirectly suggesting that prophet Muhammad was also a pork eater. In fact if Muhammad was born in America in this day and age, he would have been a successful pimp in Las Vegas . Dr. Naik should know that barring a few species that mate for life all animals are promiscuous for the simple reason that their sole purpose is to procreate and not propagate Islam. And to think that this man claims the Koran to be scientific!
Dr. Naik – “I have given lectures in many parts of the world. Many big people come to hear me. Wherever I go, presidents, prime ministers want to meet me. They all tell me you are so knowledgeable and told us so many things that we didn’t know before. We wish you would come more often”
Reply – When he said – presidents and prime ministers – did he mean the president of Iraq ? Prime minister of Malaysia ? Sultan of Brunei ? Are there non Muslim nations also on that list? Whatever that is, this only proves that Dr. Naik is an attention seeker and the above statement is anything but scholarly. I have a feeling that this man has had a troubled childhood. He used to stammer and it is very possible that his peers in school and college poked fun at him. Girls would have avoided him altogether. Deprived of a regular social life, he may have become a bookworm which explains his ability to memorize verses from the Koran and other religious texts. It is a well known fact that people who are scorned by society find a way of hitting back with a vengeance and Dr. Naik has found a convenient tool in Islam. Add to it his failed medical practice and the reasons for his hatred towards society are not too hard to find.
Dr. Naik – Muslims should not work in banks as giving/ accepting interest is haraam in Islam.
Reply – How would you define interest? Isn’t a Muslim shopkeeper also earning interest on his investment? Is it haraam if banks do the same? Do gulf nations sell oil on a no profit basis? Don’t they earn interest on their investment? This is just one of the many absurdities in the Koran. Muhammad made taking of interest haraam to get rid of his debtors and Muslims blindly follow the same.
Dr. Naik – Muslims should not work in alcohol bars and airlines because they serve liquor.
Reply – With the high rate of illiteracy among Muslims, thanks to their madarassas, do they really have a choice when it comes to jobs? As far as airlines are concerned, I agree. Muslims cannot work in airlines, they are only allowed to hijack and bomb aircrafts!
Dr. Naik – Muslim girls can become gynecologists so that they will deal only with women but they should not take up other specialties as that will bring them into contact with men.
Reply – This is shocking coming from someone who claims to be a medical doctor himself. Does he think lady doctors have sex with patients in their consultation chambers? How much absurdity can these stupid, dumb Muslims really digest before they actually hit the loo?
Dr. Naik – Muslim girls can work provided they don’t mix with boys. There has to be a separate area for them. They can talk to men only if it’s official and necessary.
Reply – I can understand a highly qualified and proven individual making such demands from his employer but coming from illiterate Muslims, isn’t this worth a laugh? It’s like a driver in Florida asking his boss for an apartment on south beach with a car and an annual vacation in Switzerland as perks!!!
Dr. Naik – The education system in India should be changed. Many girls lose their virginity by the time they leave school.
Reply – This statement takes the cake. It’s a well known fact that school girls in Muslim countries are not safe and governments keep changing school uniforms to cover little girls to the extent that they don’t look like kids anymore but more like emperor penguins in the Antarctic. And all this to protect the little children from Muslim pedophiles who love kids as much as their holy prophet did. As far as the education system is concerned, Indian schools follow the British system and is rated as among the best in the world. Indian schools teach the basic tenets of all religions, unlike schools in the middle east and other Muslim countries where pages from text books that refer to other religions are torn off by the government. What impression would that create on the mind of a child? Dr. Zakir Naik has been educated in Christian and Hindu institutions in India . By attacking these religions now, he is simply doing what all Muslims do best – spit into the very hand that has fed you. It’s hardly surprising that Hindus in India do not trust Muslims at all and they never will.
After reading this I could forgive you for thinking that Dr. Zakir Naik may have been circumcised between the ears instead of the thighs. Muslims are the only community that can be taken for a ride by such psychopaths. There are a lot more absurdities that this man preaches like halal entertainment (Islamic cartoons and movies), Sharia etc but it is my belief that the above examples would be sufficient to discount the man and throw him into the nearest thrash bin.

There are many pigs like Zakir Naik in India who can sell their teenage daughters to Rich Arabs and call them selves followers of ISLAM.
Ask Zakir Naik how much of human anatomy is taught in their madarsa. What technical skills other than jihad is taught there.

But what amazes me the most is the aptitude level of enchanting followers of zakir naik. I can imagine they are one of the dumbest sheepish the world as ever witnessed.
Dr. Naik – Muslims should not
Dr. Naik – Muslims should not work in banks as giving/ accepting interest is haraam in Islam.
What a load of crap! Muslims use their halal Shariah banking system with over-paid moolas on their Boards of Directors to exploit and illegally charge their naive customers double the official rate of interest. They then hide behind religion and then have the nerve to call it "profit" and not interest. Interest by any other name is still interest.

I have not come across an individual that affirms he is an idiot every time he opens his mouth. Just like Pedo Mo some 1400 years ago.
In sodi barbaria even allah
In sodi barbaria even allah is taken for a camel ride and dropped!. The islamic banking system works like this.Supposing you need to buy an item for Rs 100/ and you do not have that money, contact the inshallah bank! Then they will buy the item for you at Rs 90 from the seller ( and make some quiet proPhet) and then they resell the same to you @ Rs 120/ payable over 1 year @ Rs 10/ a month. Cool 30% prophet and this is called islamic or inshallah banking.
Allah is so stupid, he ( considering the stupidity of moslems, it does not surprise me) swaloows it hook line and sinker!
Inshallah banking is halal and the rest are wallah hi haram.

Great! I can't wait to die so I will suffer in hell. Going to hell is way better then becoming a Muslima. As Muslima I would be treated like a whore by the hands of Allah, Muhammed, the horny sheikhs, Mullahs, and my father in-law.

That's because Muhammed was gay and the reason why he gave that decree against lesbians is because he could not have them.

Does Dr. Naik eat dogs for breakfast?
----
Dr. Niak - Pigs are the only animals in the world that invite their friends to have sex with their partners. Westerners also do the same.
Has Dr. Naik done any research whether pigs rape their daughter-in-laws? Only islam holds the copyright (i.e. sunnah) to it.

He is a great showman, a good juggler, an illusionist characterized with the ability to create an illusion and a puzzle among his audience. When he defends islam with his tricky brain and twisting tongue and tries to present the good picture of islam to the onlookers muslims, who feel some solace for the swear onslaught going against the islam and start shouting Allahu...Though I am impressed with his presentation.

Sanjay, even you are saying
Sanjay, even you are saying that you are unbiased but It seems from your illogical reasoning that you are very strict at your faith, and you dont want to face the light of the truth.Your hollow reasoings doesnt contain any logic or understanding for nutral ,transparent person.
My Dear, if you dont have
My Dear, if you dont have knwoledge for anything irrespective of religion or topic , dont write or comment..
i read only your 1st doubt are thought to write comment....
The law is, if a man put some allegation against a women then then Man has to bring 4 witness to prove his allegation otherwise he has to face 40 lashes and life time his witness would not be counted at all... this is the law to protect the women and if you need some more feel free to write...
Islam has given the right to a Widow to remarriage 1400yrs before and in out country still in some religion they dont allow widow to get marry while Men can marry....
Mr. Sanjay i ll answer in ur
Mr. Sanjay i ll answer in ur language only..............
i think u r afraid from mr. zakir naik and u might b thinking if all the non-muslims accept islam after listening mr. naik thn wht ll happen 2 u ....................
bcoz most of the people in foreign countries are accepting islam and for ur kind information they are literate as well as well advanced and well developed............
Specially womens in those countries are bcuming muslims with thier own will........... if u think islam put restrictions on womens thn y r thy converting thier religion and wants to become slaves.....................
or is it a PUBLICITY STUNT by u bcoz u r targetting a well known orator and who r u nobody knows................
Mr. Zakir naik talks abt peace and he says so in front of everyone whether a muslims or non-muslims , he treats everyone as his sister and brother whether tht person is a muslim or not but your talks ll definitely give birth to riots and if u have dare thn whatever nonsense u wrote on this page say those things publically...............
whatever u hav said, say it on tv like the way mr naik do bcoz for u most of the muslims are illiterarte thn tv would b the best way of communication as illiterarte dont use to access websites Mr. Literate..........come on be a man nd publically announce ur address whr everybody can trace u............... thn u ll find ur self dead bcoz u made fun of ALLAH and PROPHET MUHAMMAD(pbuh).............
If i get a chance to kill u thn i ll not hesitate in killing u ....................
All those against Dr. Naik
All those against Dr. Naik and islam, u should be because u people have no any religion and u can't take any responsibilities or the way of life God told you deaf people.................. You just want to live a life like an animal who just do sex and eat but do not pray and accept there is any GOD. We muslims never make fun of any holy personality whether that is a hindu or christian, infact we also believe in jesus as messenger of GOD... Allah is GOD and you people have abused GOD, don't u even feel any shame....... Oh sorry you call yourselves the literate people and civilized society, because in your advanced society people like you do sex with their sisters as well without any shame.. SHAME on uuu people.

Your replies to Dr Zakir Naik
Your replies to Dr Zakir Naik are totally pointless and baseless.
I'm not going to reply to each and every absurd reply of yours, but I want to ask you... If Muslims are following Islam, or if Zakir Naik is preaching, what on earth is YOUR PROBLEM? Just keep your criticisms to yourself, follow your own religion, and let others follow theirs!

Okaay, i see that Sanjay
Okaay, i see that Sanjay Khanna (dats ur name ha..) has no idea about Islam.. And is talking so illogicaly!! I started reading your article, but the replies u were giving for Dr Zakir Naik speeches, were so dumb and totally pointless, i jst couldnt go on reading!! As we all know Dr Zakir Naik has a lot of knowledge not only about Islam, but about comparative religions as well...
"While Muslims marvel at his “knowledge” and “wisdom”, others make good use of him for laughter therapy."
Well maybe fools like u make fun of him, but people with understanding will definitely praise him.. Even non muslims do, thats why there are so many of them reverting to Islam.. What do u have to say about that Mr know it all?? Im sure u dont even reach the sole of Zakir Naiks feet in knowledge... So why are you even criticising Islam, if you dont even know about the religion properly!?!
And yeah hijab does protect woman from rape.. For eg. wont a guy who sees a girl who is dressed in a sexy way, without hijab be more phisicaly attracted to than a girl who is well covered with a hijab.?!?!??!?!
MArie and company- U seriously have no idea at all about Islam!!! U dont know what u guys are missing... pppff, u guys might talk like big shots now, criticising islam to the max, but u're gonna regret this some day!! Haa, thats for sure!!
Dearest, dr. Zakir Naik. when
Dearest,
dr. Zakir Naik.
when you talk against the other religions, so be couragious to hear against your religion also. I am Bishop Peter Majeed of Northen diocese Mardan. I have learned a lot about Islam as a religion. and i have come to the conclusion that it has no ethical, legal or social norms of it’s own. it has stolen the basic theme of Jews and after that have also stolen all the aspects of christianity.
I have somequestions regarding the status of muhammad as prophet and quran as a revealed book?.
was quran revealed or stolen?.
was muhammad not fond of women and sex?.
was muhammad not a thief and robber?.in his lifetime he committed many murders and thefts?.
Now the taliban are spreading islam on the power of barrel, so that islam may be spread all over the world, to un due the Christinity, but i am also couragious enough to stand against this act of your intentions.the situation inour country is very obvious.
the blasphemious laws in pakistan show that the ethical, and legal norms of islam are very weak, so that the pakistani society have may be able to stand, otherwise the islam has no such power to stand.
it is my advice to you that you may not make stupid ideas to people.
thanks.
Bishop Peter Majeed

I guess Mr.Sanjay Khanna is
I guess Mr.Sanjay Khanna is threatened by Dr.Naiks logical and convincing answers backed by proofs from their scriptures.
I is highly surprising that Mr.Khanna do not write any thing against Lord Krishna who had 50,000 wives in addition to Gopis which included virgin girls.
He does not say about 1 billion hindus who in this 21st century bow against a snake or scorpion or monkey or elephant....and the worst.....a males dick...
It is surprising that he does give any attention on fables of man having a monkey face or man having elephants head....
It is evident that he is ashamed of his own religion..which has been distorted by its priests and sadhus.
Now when Dr.Naik bring evidences from their own books...they do not want to accept them.
Instead they slander him with their stupid sarcasm...which does not carry any weight in a civilized society.
Please come up with convincing and logical reasoning..rather than slandering scholar and showing your ineptness.
