dr. Zakir Naik has been in the eye storm ever since the dark terror attacks when one of the attackers cited him as the inspiration to talk about all this and more dr. Nayak himself in his first interview to any Indian news channel lots of doing this interview in Chetta isn't it ironic why can't you come back to India and make your case and the point to be noted is that I am an NRI and non-listed in Indian and most part of the year I live outside so I having a comma of Saudi Arabia since many years even of the bay so most of the time I stay outside so that is the reason I wouldn't like to come all the way after given into you know it's not a question you know that you know how this situation is developed in India there's been a furor people have been asking raising many questions so what are you afraid or if there is nothing to hide why don't you come back to India answer this question yes I'm aware that there were many allegation on the Indian media and I heard the allegation that vodka has inspired many terrorists and he many of the Indian channel labeled me as a terrorist as far as being afraid I'm not afraid at all so far there is not a single Indian government Authority which has called me if they call me not a single yes because to call they should find something substantial just because just because the Indian media the television channels all the newspapers they want I am NOT going to come for a media trial there anyhow inspite when all these things happen I was supposed to take out a time for one and a half day and I'd called a press conference on the 12th I suppose land on the 11th have that have the press confirm the truth and come back are supposed to be for one and a half day from my busy schedule had taken out time but we had a great difficulty in finding when you when you was booked it was canceled then again the there were four five-star hotels and five trout they agreed they said fine then again they canceled last moment to another one they can tell I don't know pressurize them then finally I had to consider the trip then it took us four days then I had I tore one of my friend was the big haul he said no problem even he was pressurized finally we had to do in a place which should the long and short of it is that if needed you are prepared to come back to India if any government Authority wants any inquiry I'm most willing to cooperate but I do you expect me to take your time one and now again cancel again come again cancel and this is the media trial if any government Authority of India investigation Authority wants any cooperation not only Indian any final authority if they want any corporation in which they can catch any tablet of the world I am willing anything but sub simply it is not the media which is cooked officer after out your name kima when one of the attackers in the taça in the dastardly terror attack at the daka bakery took him in and it's ironical that your television channel is called beasts TV and your name is Bingley and terrorists are taking her name as ID you as an inspiration if you know the attack took place on 1st of July in this year there was a newspaper by the name of Daily Star which said that one of the terrorists was inspired by dr. Zakir Naik and dr. Zakir Naik is banned in UK in Canada in Malaysia and later on the Indian media picked it up and blew it out of proportion a few days later the same Daily Star on the 9th of July said we never ever said that doctors are kunai inspired any terrorist to kill innocent human beings what we said that one of the terrorists was a fan that's it so when the Bangladeshi paper corrected and then went on to said that we stand corrected the dr. Zakir Naik is not banned in Malaysia so when the newspaper the article from the newspaper with the Indian media picked up this news why didn't they correct themselves so this shows the double standards of a in the media theyíve notes how it started I started from article that came in daily star on the 3rd of July right but the Indian media that's me Indian media is also focusing on some of the some of your speeches let's talk of your speeches can you deny that words in language used by you in your speeches is liable to spread the more tension in fact hatred amongst remarks I have seen there is not a single lecture of mine if not taken out of context will ever spend hatred all my speeches being communal harmony it means communal harmony between the various sects of Muslims it's being communal harmony between the various religions of humanity Muslims Hindus Muslims Christian what the media has done they have done a devilish thing they have picked up my sentences out of context they have quoted half my sentences and some of the clips shown are doctored imagine if I have to take your interview and if I ask you that how is it ler and if it lives not good I chop off your knot and Ziegler is good doctor that for the in Yemen has done what they do they take half my sentence and if I do the same thing all these journalists let's speak specifically did you or did you not say that that it's justified to become a terrorist never ever I challenge anyone to point out a single paragraph of my speech in your reign instrument ever ever never ever it's either told you some crypto doctors some cryptic doctored most of them out of context and many of them they have statements i challenge what i would say that the indian media when they pick up any sentences they should see the full lecture you cannot pick up out of context and i challenge my journalist who has spoken against me if he faith and say I've seen the full lecture if they pick up five clips have this in the full five lectures anyone with the unbiased man and I challenge them to show the full lecture of mine I challenge any media to show the full lecture of mine and then say is it right or wrong you say you claim that you are a pacifist you are working to bring about harmony but when you run down other religions when you say that eating cassava is unlimited when you start you know running down picking holes in the geology of other religions is how is that reporting regarding the allegation that I run down other region I challenge anyone to point out any statement in context of mind where I run or other Legion in fact Quran is very clear Quran says in surah anaam chap number six 108 that revile not abuse not those gods who they worship who the worship besides Almighty Allah left in the ignorance they will reveal Allah subhana Allah I have never run down any religion because that is against or on yes if you ask me a question can a Muslim eat Prasad I said no shrim can't eat Prasad and I give their and I give the reference it's mentioned the Quran in no less than four different places and in surah Baqarah chapter two verse nine 173 instead of my the chap number five was them three in surinam chapter six thousand 145 and certain health chapter 16 verse 115 it says alaikum almighty - what the moral humble can see Omar Alana Kerala be forbidden for you for food are dead meat blood and flesh of swine and any food on which any name besides the name of Almighty Allah is taken so in Islam a Muslim is not supposed to have food of anyone any name even if the name of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is taken on the food you can't have it if any name besides Allah name is taken is provided now this is my religion and the Constitution of India realized that this is this is liable to be misunderstood that it leads to what I cannot take much affection have according according to the article 25 of India I am following the Indian Constitution Indian Constitution says in article 25 every citizen of India has the right to follow practice and preaches religion I am following my religion same way for Hindu things for Hindu things I don't want to have beef that's his beef as a doctor I know eating feel good but if he says he doesn't want to have been that's his prerogative I've been noticed a learning known as love lots of you've been away from India but you realize that people back home in India are Lightning you to prevent taqueria and please sadly watching they say that you did you up to the operator to your jaw speeches are provoking communities creating dis I challenge any channel to show the full speech of preventive Arya and full speech of mine and let the audience decide what is happening in the news channel the anchor person he is the lawyer he is the judge and he is the jury in I and I challenge any of the top journalists who are the good rating if they want to have a good rating or not the small one then I don't waste my time I challenge any journalist any journalist and one of them are wrong to name them allow me the famous that let's have a debate that who is more beneficial for the society Zakir Naik or the journalist let's have a debate one hour he speaks one hour I speak a half another debate and then half an hour battle he speaks a fan I speak let there be a question answer session for one and affa let there be a fair hearing in the news channels of India what they do that the anchorperson have already anchorperson is supposed to be neutral there are very few journalists that I saw guarding myself one was current super I found him that he was very neutral though the information given to him was also wrong yet when the judgement when the argument was given by lawyers on the panelist for example Sony sort of G and there were the people he repeated the argument without thrusting his view what happened on the Indian TV they they start and say okay now we are going to prove that doctors are Kananga the terrorists and they get three people for three people I get this button like it's very easy easy to blame the media I mean the messenger is always the one who gets blamed first button but in your speeches I am quoting from your speech in one of your speeches you defended the concept of suicide bombers in certain situations now is this not a support for I never ever never ever have I defended suicide bomber as a whole I made it very category that any suicide bombing in which innocent people are killed it is totally private in Islam and made they are cutting out of context let them show the full lecture let them for the full question answer no have you told if that your speeches actually inspire young man to take to terror lot of people you know you may not be aware that peach TV has 200 million viewers the full full piece TV network English 100 million viewers the Ordway 30 million viewers we on 14 satellites one live there the Chinese is there and there are 14 million fans of mine if I was spreading terrorism there should have been at least million terrorists in the full world in the past 25 years hardly you can name 10 15 20 people so if I agree with you that you are right there are more than 200 final 200 million fans of mine and if 10 people misunderstand me who's to blame it's like giving an example there is a doctor who has saved thousands of lives but it could not say 5 patient and you say oh you are a killer of patient this is about the minion 3 and if this is the case why has so many government gives me award today so the most highest Islamic award in the world is the King Faisal award the service of Islam highest award equal to the Nobel Prize of faithfully some governments are brand-new from some no one don't say some UK in Canada no Canada's amendment we have any letter this is the media you show me only and how many countries I give me award highest award Malaysia Indonesia who said that Indonesia I was determined by first welcome to South people go in order Saudi Arabia last year gave me the highest award in the Islamic world King Faisal award for service of Islam I also got the second highest amount of the Islamic world from the way government the Dubai International Holy Quran about three years back I got from Malaysia three years back the toko monetary award which is normally given to a local Malaysian once in a blue moon is given to a foreigner in the last 25 30 years and the food foreign Oh got it so it should be proud that out of 4 international people I am one of them got that award further Bush are they giving me an award furthermore Gambia give me an award so all these five countries do to think that the intelligence of all the five countries they are foolish do you mean to say that the Indian media is far superior to the intelligence of Saudi Arabia and of militia and of Dubai and of Sharjah and of Gambia what you are asking me about man there is no country in the world except UK we did not ban me the problem is you're the Indian media Raziel know English properly what's the meaning of banned in UK UK the different country it has a different terminology banned in UK means the person his books cannot be sold his speeches cannot be heard on television the piece TVs happening from from from UK from a little travel to London I am giving you the definition of banned I am educating you what's the meaning of banned in UK upon UK terminology that my lectures cannot be telecast it's being telecast in UK my books cannot be sold it's being sold the right word for UK is excluded if the journalists of India don't know proper English and the don't do the research you go and see in the constitution of UK what is the meaning of banned banned me besides being not allowed to enter the country a books cannot be sold and your lectures cannot come on any television channels I am exclude excluded means they said that soccer is detrimental for the society and what is the context I have got in the letter in the letter there is of me if you know the background the background is in 2009 the head of the anti-terrorism department his name is Charles VII he sent officer and they approached me and they told me the mister line you can reach those Muslims who we can't free because they are popular if it is can you help us I said I'm aware that there are certain Muslim why youngsters who are misguided and I'm aware there are some misconceptions about Islam in the UK government I am willing to help under two conditions you should not ask me to do anything against the Quran and the authentic teachings and the sings of proposal assalam and the second thing I do not give money and they agreed but few months later in 2010 when the election took place Labour Party lost and the conservative came when conservatives gave three weeks coming to power in less than a month the Home Secretary who was there that time terrorism a was become the prime minister now the first Muslim that she excluded dr. Zakir Naik I was going to give lecture in Wembley in big auditoriums in London and happy 2k several times I had a five year valid visa which was the shoed in 2009 it was a multiple entry visa in 2010 they sent official letter that you are excluded and they gave me some some clips of my speeches I just mentioned to you one for you to realize by has she excluded me she said that you had given a speech in UK saying and she quoted that I condemn the attack of 9/11 where where 3,000 Americans were killed I also condemn way more than 50 people were killed in London to Bob last also condemn more than 180 people who were killed in the Train serial bomb blasts in in from India but I also condemned the thousands of innocent people killed in Afghanistan Iraq and Palestine so the Home Secretary feels by me adding I and I was careful when I use the word thousands of people in Afghanistan I prefix the word innocent when I said American London Bombay i'ts I didn't prefix the or innocent I went out of the way so that no one lays an allegation that zarkan is supporting foreign terrorists when I put this clause I'm asking you reply to me if this statement right or wrong I condemn the thousands of innocent people killing of Anniston Iraq as well Spanish the Namas mean to push no what is wrong in the treatment it's for authorities to decide I mean I must forget Authority I'm asking whether a journalist no Pam officiant is nothing credit nothing so what I thought I said is nothing she quotes inverted commas now if they feel such speeches that means killing Americans is a crime killing innocent now I was feeling he knows and I'm gonna not a flame killing innocent Iraqi not a tree killing innocent Palestinians so I'm asking because of this I must be men you said it is not a thing why have they excluded me in writing it is there and anyway this exclusion when I asked my lawyers they said for three years technically I can apply I won't apply I don't want to why should I waste my time on the question coming on any other countries there's no other country in the world which has banned me you laid an allegation abandon Indonesia I'm and in Malaysia in Malaysia yes there were certain Hindu organization who wanted me to be then the government gave me an after they protested that that kid should be banned they gave me an award the highest award of the country I have been called by the king I was just a in April I am at the Prime Minister I am as the Deputy Prime Minister I am in the Home Minister I am at the register I made 14 cabinet ministers I Chief Minister and the king in a final four days not just but tonight now that we are talking state categorically state where do you stand on Isis what is your stand on Taliban what is your stand on he went on on the dastardly terror attacks that have taken place in in month odd letter taking place in Dhaka that are taking place across the world I am very clear and I have told this a thousand times if the media picks up some of my statements out of context even if you count I have given more than two thousand lectures in the past about 20 years they may be hardly ten such statements they can pick up there are more than thousand statements of mind which are unequivocally unambiguous and I have told that the thousand times and I am repeating it I condemn all terrifed acts because Quran clearly mentions and so remind the chap number five awesome to that if anyone kills any other innocent human being whether Muslim or non-muslim it is as though he has killed the whole of humanity and if anyone see if any human being it is as though you save the whole whole of humanity I must wonder comparative religion no religion in the world ask people to kill innocent people but Quran is the only religious book on the face of the earth which give the statement that if you kill one innocent human being you have killed the whole of humanity I have read the bhagavad-gita I have read the way that I have read the Marmara I have read the Bible I challenge anyone to take out any such statement equal to the Quran which says if you kill one innocent it will be you have killed the whole of humanity so as far as I am concerned all terroristic acts done by any human being in the world it is prohibited it is the second major sin in Islam as far as Isis is concerned as far as Isis is concerned always ask the question suppose I tell that I am the president of America will you report on your channel that I interviewed the president of America in Jeddah will you say that no you will say the person is telling a lie or the person is a lunatic similarly when organizing comes and say that we are an Islamic state and the killing innocent people when the Quran is clear that killing innocent human being is like killing the whole of humanity how can you agree with the label they're giving themselves so I tell the media and specifically the Muslim media and the Muslims that when you read in the newspaper this name Islamic state is given by the enemies of Islam don't report on your media that Islamic state has done that is totally wrong I call them anti Islamic State of Iraq and Syria so I will tell the anti Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has killed the innocent human beings for me to say Islamic state I am endorsing that the Islamic will you ever say that I am the president of America No so why are using double standards it is clearly mentioned in the Quran that killing innocent human being is like killing the whole of humanity so I tell the Muslims that in the ignorance what they are doing they are endorsing these people and it is the news media which are giving the more populous I will tell them that they are anti Islamic state and anyone leave aside and take slamming state does it where the Muslim does it whether non-muslim does it whether they are talking about but that where they are talking Medina where they're talking about octa whether they're talking about Bombay when I've category told in phony lecture no do you want me to say that every act anyone does I recommend them generally anywhere in the world whether New York whether London WeatherBug that whether Palestine with Afghanistan whether Iraq so being innocent human pain is we have condemned totally you spoken famously here but do you realize there is across the world increasingly Muslims I'm a group with suspicion Islam unfortunately is not the most popular religion across the world and UN and would you agree that a part of this problem also stems responsibilities module devolves on Muslims on the way some people in the name of Islam have acted regarding you think that Islam is not popular I would say no today to the most popular it is the maximum practice village in the world in numbers Christianity may take but scholars agree that in practice Islam is the largest for road religion in the world I do agree with you that today the world looks at in a different angle for this I would blame the media and I've given lectures I'm a man of the media I have given seven lectures an opening to me all who are indulging in such acts of terror in the name of Islam coming see it's not the media because the number one according to me and you asked me the question I have to give my view I am NOT repeated on you correct now asking me sorry give me a chance forgive me according to me number one responsible is the media today media is the most important weapon in the world it can convert back into white day into night hero in turbulent weather into a hero today what the media does picks up black sheep of the Muslim community and they portray at those eggs every Muslim I do agree there are black sheep in the community I am NOT saying that all those who claim to be Muslims they hundred percent practice Muslim what did the media do they pick up black sheep of the Muslim community and the portray at those can't be Muslim in the Indian media we have headline Muslim Arab maddening a girl of sixteen years old headline when a non-muslim raped a girl of six year old it comes in nutrify these are the rebel standard of the media co-op about me but just because I mean that doesn't absorb those Muslims you are acting in the name of acronyms I will tell you these Muslims who are doing the terrorist attack they are not practicing Muslims they are black sheep of the Muslim community and they are to be condemned and I condemn all human being whether Muslim or non-muslim when they kill any other innocent human being it is prohibited it's as though they're killing the whole of humanity Islam doesn't agree with that Islam doesn't preach Islam comes from the root word Salam which miss peace that the reason the name of the channel is speech TV and it is bringing peace now what's happening those people many people don't want peace if peace is how will the factory was many countries want to sell weapons if peace is there will they sell weapon and you know that you know that better than me what did they don't want peace to be there and our channel is promoting peace our channel is promoting peace there is throughout the world the scene almost all the countries of the world is seeing what is the problem with Bangladesh and rittany I do not know yoga which has the stringent law we got the downlink information I am asking what is the problem why doesn't the government say why didn't the government say this program show half Anna this program half an hour what we have seen it is detrimental then it's aside I challenge you I challenge the you mentioned the Government of India you have issues with a cover do you believe under this present comfort you know inter-community relations in India have always been from do you believe that under this present government those tensions have increased II see as far when I pull government identify present the past no I'm asking me specifically I'm on show you specifically we didn't apply for the downlink permission in the present government we applied in the previous government we applied 2008 2010 2012 always it was refused they don't have as it is in that said security reasons why when there are so many channels of the Christians that are running many empty more than 1020 there are no channels why don't they have not allowed a single mainstream Muslim Channel why this present government I have enough I'm going to apply I am going to ask the peach TV officials I'm going to tell them apply and let's see what is the motive of this government as far as the past government was there thrice they refused and they have been given another reason when the world is allowing do mean to say that the intelligence of India something superior or you point out okay this lecture of yours or this lecture shown on peach TV it detrimental to the society so as far as this government is concerned I am going to ask the peach TV officials to apply again and I feel I feel I feel that now since they're doing inquiry I feel that when I want them to do inquiry on my speeches I know I know that they're said as far as the present government is concerned regarding myself I'm not a politician as far as I am concerned I am concerned the present government hasn't bothered me at all till now even till today till the time you talk of you tomorrow I don't know what will happen till today I have got I have got my reservation with the Indian media even though the Indian media and the past two weeks have called me as Terrace number one I have not received a single call from any Indian official government for investigation that shows that they are really careful never research me is the media to blame but tell me 100% till today tomorrow don't you are entitled to an opinion I am I beg to differ do you believe and there are many politicians and I'm specifically coming back to this question because there are many politicians who who who are dispute but - do you solve the via water of the US of the view of what is coming do you subscribe to the view the tensions under the present government under the present plan instead have increased tensions path your my self-worth with the others I'm asking to community tension integral retention yes they have increased in some cases some cases are decreased I added I am a specialist of Islam and compatibility you spend a lot of time in the Middle East the Prime Minister has been an outreach program yes what kind of an impact is it I could see as far as the present Prime Minister Narendra Modi's concern after being honest with you that in my limited knowledge that I have he is the first Prime Minister of India in the span of two years had been to so many Muslim countries or done per year into 50 percent figures can be he went to Saudi Arabia Qatar UAE the three most powerful country of the Gulf countries Pakistan yes I am coming into Pakistan you into Afghanistan even to Turkey he has gone to the central Russia he has gone to biggest army he so many countries so if his intention is to increase the relationship and better the relationship of India with the other Muslim countries to increase the relationship of the Hindus and Muslims I am for him and that's good so if his intention is to get communion harmony between the second and the third largest religions in the world Hinduism is the third largest follow religion in the world Islam is the second in terms of number in practice it's number one so if he is trying to get these two large communities and he's trying to build communal harmony I'm for it and in reciprocation we saw that the king of Saudi Arabic in Salman gave him the highest civilian award so if the intention of King Salman is that by giving award India and Saudi Arabia come closer that Muslims and Hindus come closer I am for King Salman if the intention is important so I believe that I don't know of any Indian Prime Minister in such a short span has gone to so many Muslim countries so I am for it because Quran says in Quran clearly states in in the Quran al Imran chapter 3 verse 64 Tala Allah Kalimantan Sawa in mind we know who come to common terms as because in you so if I have to look in my perspective that the relationship is able to make it better I'm for it as far as this is concerned in politics I am NOT a politician my field in Islam and comparative religion then the course of the interview spoken of the kind of influence you have their issues India as the second largest population of Muslims in the world their issues that that beset the community they are their issues they don't you believe that it is time for reform why don't you address issues with with regards to status of Roman there's this issue of what Roberto lock oh you know millions of Muslim women have signed a petition in India are crying out for reform you're saying India the second largest Muslim country in the world according to English accorded to me it is the latest yes the Indian government across Michigan deferring to me it is the largest more than even Indonesia I feel they're about to 30 to 250 million Muslims in India 20 percent I believe Omega more than that it is the largest regarding me speaking on issues like women's rights that is the problem that the Indian media doesn't see my lectures I have even 2000 lectures and comfortable till I have given a lecture on women's rights in Islam modernizing outdated regarding triple Stella no you asking me a question I'll give you answer now when I give answer some Muslim will feel offended as far as triple Stella is concerned if you read the Quran and say had it based on that if someone gets repent Allah in one city according to me it is counted as one I know there are different schools of thought in Islam in Islam there should not be any sect but the difference of million scholars I believe in that group of scholars that if you give a lot in one sitting it is counted as one that is my understanding of the Quran Dadi many Muslims don't like it now when I give an opinion they say Zakir give the fuck I'm giving your opinion I am a scholar I'm a student of Islam and comparative religion now when are you and I can of references and wrote the time you shot in surah Baqarah chapter 2 verse number 2 28 it says that it said in so little except number 65 I can give references for more details you can see my cassette according to me when you give triple to lack it is counted as one and if number is one of the few religion which gives right that divorce can be given most of the religions who can give divorce so Islam says that if two human beings are not compatible husband invitations later the conditions laid down all the conditions I am discussed in my lecture aren't giving or nsns that's number I'll tell you that there are conditions which you have to follow the Quran and for that will take time but the conditions given together even if you give three together point to me it is counted as one there is another Demark which is which is now which is very much in the news there is a call for a uniform Civil Code in the country where do you stand as far as uniform Civil Code in the country is concerned if you have honest people on the panel and if you allow me to speak on behalf of Islam I'm not a scholar I am a student of comparative religion I will prove to you logically I agree with uniform Civil Code but not be biased like how the media does or like what certain country does let's have an unbiased panel and you come to know that the rules and regulation laid down in Quran are the best for Humanity and I've given talks on that and I have proved it that the rules and regulation laid down in the Quran and the best for humanity I call Quran as the future world Constitution it is the most positive book in the world it is a proclamation to humanity it is the fountain of mercy and wisdom it's a warning to the heedless it's a guide to the erring not inferior uniforms this it's an unbiased panel I'm for it but if it is a biased panel like how the Indian media is they do in today we should not have it because it's my one sided taking out of context not giving a portion in for clarification if you have unbiased panel I with my humble limited knowledge of Islam I will be on the board one of the speakers for Islam and it proved logically to the world that the teaching of Islam are the best for Humanity they're forgiven the talk Islam the solution for Humanity if this is the case I totally agree the ship uniform Civil Code all should believe in only one religion all should believe in one way of life all should have common laws but that law should be seen to it it is the best for Humanity dr. Knight for taking time out and speaking to us thank you very much it's my pleasure Oh.
