He, who himself is communal, sees everyone to be the same, says Satyapal Singh, BJP MP for Baghpat.

Welcoming the Centre's decision to ban the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), a non-governmental organisation (NGO) run by Zakir Naik, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday asserted that the controversial Islamic preacher believes no religion is better than Islam.

BJP leader and former Mumbai police commissioner Satyapal Singh said Zakir Naik is communal from the very beginning. "He believes there is no better religion in the world than Islam. He, who himself is communal, sees everyone to be the same. The government's decision is a welcome stand. It should have taken place earlier," the Baghpat MP said.

Naik's counsel Mobin Solkar said earlier this month that the case filed by the National Investigative Agency (NIA) against his client under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act is illegal, as the Supreme Court had earlier granted a stay in a similar case and hence any fresh complaint on the same grounds would stand void.

Solankar maintained that from 2012 till date, Naik has not given any lecture which can be a cause of action for filing a fresh FIR against him.

He, however, conceded that the investigative agency is entitled to search and visit the premises of the IRF owned by Naik and the organisation would comply with all investigative processes carried out by the NIA.

Earlier, the authorities blocked the websites of IRF for allegedly spreading objectionable contents, speeches and videos. As per reports, the NIA will also raise the issue of suspension of videos on YouTube and Facebook pages with the US since the servers are located there.

The NIA had earlier on November 19 carried out searches at 10 premises of the banned IRF in Mumbai after registering a case against its founder Naik and others under an anti-terror law.

No need to take his statement seriously. He is religious bigot & extremist.

 

[Well.wisher]

It's a true fact so ?

Then by this definition... the Hindutva BJP must also admit that Hinduism isn't any better than other religions (including Islam)?... or do the hindutva party believe Hinduism is better than the rest?

Personally, I don't give two hoots about Zakir Naik... can't stand the guy.

But the hypocrisy is amusing to say the least... doesn't every religion think it's the numro-uno? You don't walk into a church; and the priest goes, "ya, this kind a sucks!" . You don't walk into a Hindu temple; and the pundit goes, "welcome, to my temple, by the way, that masjid across the street is also awesome!" . You don't walk into a synagogue; and the Jewish Rabbi goes, "by the way those other people are good enough to be also the Chosen Ones!" ... lol

Thank God for Pakistan. It is our Israel. Our safety net against the hindutva to the SOUTH.

Don't take the person seriously , it's your choice but his statement is indeed right .

If you think a society is perfect then that society will stop progressing further.
Perfection is an illusion that is broken by knowledge.
Nothing in this universe is perfect.

I actually agree with your point fully... for a harmonious society that is an important trait. But having said that... what Naik said isn't out of character from what other religious leaders would say.... That's the point... seems to be more of a witch hunt to me.

I don't like the guy personally, never did. But that doesn't mean i don't stand up for what is right ... just because i don't agree with anther person's views.

Had Zakir naik been a non Muslim and had he said same about Islam, he would have been beheaded or hanged for blasphemy.

Now we are crucifying people based on hypotheticals?

Every religion is good and everybody promotes peace.

The purpose of religion isn't only promoting peace , the real purpose is to take you to the one and only God , to bring you to the creator of the skies and earth .
Islam is the only religion of world that truly takes you to the truth God almighty . Other religions lead you to 'shirk ' thus , it's the one and only true and best merciful religion in the world .

Why is BJP so insecure about Hinduism? Of course every believer believes his lifestyle based on his faith is better than others

Had Zakir naik been a non Muslim and had he said same about Islam, he would have been beheaded or hanged for blasphemy.

Your saying if Zakir Naik was a non Muslim and had said Islam is better then other religions he would have been hanged? By who? BJP or RSS?
