[Reader-list] Dr. Zakir Naik – Anatomy of a pig

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Javed
 
Talking of  Zakir Naik ...... Came across this article "Dr Zakir Naik’s fraud exposed"
http://agniveer.com/naikexposed/
 
Zakir Naik is a proponent of the thesis that the 'Hindu Scriptures' foretold the coming of Mohammed with all attendant praises and declared finalities of the 'coming'
 
In the article the writer Agniveer says :
 
"""" While I have always been critical of his approach and conclusions, I always admired Dr Zakir Naik’s sincerity and loyalty to Muslims. I was impressed by his gigantic efforts in studying thousands of pages of scriptures and selecting verses that could be used to derive whatever crazy interpretations he has derived to prove Muhammad in all world scriptures....
 
But suddenly I came across a book “Muhammad in World Scriptures” by Maulana Abdul Haque Vidyarthi written in 1936. And I was shocked to find that Dr Zakir Naik has done NOTHING MORE THAN simply copying-pasting from this book, mostly word-to-word and cooked up his own ‘original’ research which he uses to claim that he is an expert in ‘Comparative Religion’. This is blatant plagiarization! And that too from a source that his followers consider worse than Kafirs. """"""
 
"Worse than Kafirs refers to Maulana Abdul Haque Vidyarthi being a Qadiani.
 
Agniveer compares text from the Maulana's book with Zakir Naik's article on the IRF website
 
Interesting read.

Dr. Zakir Naik – Anatomy of a pig

By Sanjay Khanna

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 –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.
