Sunday (London) Times–Muslim preacher of hate is let into Britain

The home secretary, Theresa May, is facing a stiff test of the Conservative party’s claims to oppose radical Islam after her officials chose to allow a misogynist Muslim preacher into Britain.

Zakir Naik, an Indian televangelist described as a “hate-monger” by moderate Muslims and one Tory MP, says western women make themselves “more susceptible to rape” by wearing revealing clothing.

Naik, who proselytises on Peace TV, a satellite television channel, is reported to have called for the execution of Muslims who change their faith, described Americans as “pigs” and said that “every Muslim should be a terrorist”.

    Dr Naik really doesn’t know us Americans [b]AT ALL[/b] if he thinks that anyone who really knows us well and who are true friends of ours will actually believe these ridiculous statements of his. They are deliberately designed to stir up trouble. In reality, it shows that he is not ignorant at all, but is a hate-mongering lunatic of the first order. We got rid of another Middle East tyrant just a few short years ago, and this one is no different.

    A ‘televangelist’, eh? I guess he must be a conservative evangelical Muslim then, probably a tea partier as well with Relgious Right ‘family values’.

    For a country where they don’t allow gun ownership the government is awfully good at shooting itself in the foot.

  4. eulogos says:

    The term “evangelist” cannot be used of a Muslim!
    A preacher of the “good news” can only be a Christian.
    The person who wrote this didn’t know what the word means. To him it only means “someone who talks about religion on TV”. Wrong.

    So, the British government will let this wing nut in but deems Michael Savage to dangerous to enter their country!

    Sadly, this does not surprise me and indeed, is what I have come to expect of the “New Britain” that seem unconcerned about its survival.

  7. Sick & Tired of Nuance says:

    I wish we didn’t have to watch Britains slow suicide by Islamification. Many of us have tried shouting “STOP”, but it hasn’t done any good. It’s very sad. Le Morte d’Arthur – not with a bang, but a whimper.
