Remember last year? UK Banned Dr. Zakir Naik - for what? Read this . . .
LONDON, UK -- Britain banned what they term a "radical Moslem preacher" from entering the UK, according to the Minister of Interior, quoted in a British paper there.
Dr. Zakir Naik, a medical doctor from a well established family of doctors in Mumbai, India, has been quoted as saying, "Every Muslim should be a terrorist" (but of course, there is more to this story)..
Zakir Naik, a well known and highly respected member of the Muslim community world wide - was scheduled for a tour of the UK to offer a series of lectures in London and northern England this month.
However, the new Home Secretary, Theresa May has decided otherwise. According to the UK newspaper, the Daily Telegraph, May said, "I have excluded Dr. Naik from the UK." and "Numerous comments made by Dr Naik are evidence to me of his unacceptable behaviour".
“Coming to the UK is a privilege not a right and I am not willing to allow those who might not be conducive to the public good to enter the UK.”
May, a Conservative politician who became home secretary in the new government last month, has the power to exclude or deport an individual if he or she believes their presence in Britain could be dangerous.
Naik had been filmed on a website making inflammatory comments, interior ministry sources told the newspaper.
According to the Telegraph, in a web posting from 2006, he said: “Beware of Muslims saying Osama bin Laden is right or wrong. I reject them ... we don't know.
“But if you ask my view, if given the truth, if he is fighting the enemies of Islam, I am for him. I don't know what he's doing. I'm not in touch with him. I don't know him personally. I read the newspaper.
“If he is terrorising the terrorists, if he is terrorising America the terrorist, the biggest terrorist, every Muslim should be a terrorist.” —AFP

Universal right the FREEDOM OF SPEECH is globally literal and i hope UK never feel difficult to permit for interpretation.
many many thanks to UK Government...
It is vital his moderate voice is heard and raised so that it may drown out the voices of extremist Muslims who preach a distorted message of hate.
He has a large worldwide following amongst all faiths. I fear, by banning him, the British government will alienate a significant proportion of British Muslims and that the vacuum left by him with be filled by more extremist elements. We must not let this happen.
His words were clearly taken out of context. May our just British Judges judge his case fairly.
Also by not succumbing to the demands of skeptics he has always kept his bank account secret . the villains will never know how much money he has . this will help him in future projects and also help the religion .
His clever video editing techinque should be followed by other sermonisers . It is surprising he has wished to convert and become a Bohri muslim
i just pray to Allah that, Allah can help the UK govt and show them the true path........... ...
