religious nationaltexture is certainly not going to be nourished by Zakir Naik's preaching' s.
Inthe
contrary itwould only be inciting divisive forces to distort the unifying tenets of Islam as currently practiced in the country.
As a nation Malaysia is well acknowledged among brother Islamic countries as a progressive nation with strong Islamic value systems embedded within its national character
.We as a nation do not need Zakir Naik when our own Islamic scholars are far more adept and competent in advocating the Islamic faith to Malaysians befitting our own national heritage and rich and pluralistic history
.It is known that the Zakir Naik owned, provocative evangelist
t.vchannel, has been banned in Bangladesh
,Canada and in the UK. When a large Muslim country like Bangladesh has taken action against Zakir Naik
,we in Malaysia should never allow a proven
provocateurto remain in our midst advocating his nefarious and divisive form of
Islamic worldview.
Given the space Zakir Naik would also
infliterateinto our national space to disrupt national harmony which could lead to undesirable actions of grave consequence to national peace and stability
.Zakir Naik should not be allowed to use his questionable religious credentials to solicit support from Malaysia to be shielded from possible prosecution in India.
