“The best form of Jihad is to strive and struggle against non-Muslims” in order to “make the society better” — ultimately by imposing Sharia upon it. Zakir Naik travels the world debating non-Muslims; it would be interesting to see him debate a Muslim spokesman in the West who denies that jihad means any kind of struggle against non-Muslims. Zakir Naik vs. Ahmed Rehab (the Hamas-linked CAIR op who started the ridiculous “MyJihad” campaign a few years ago: “my jihad is romping through the daisies,” etc.) — I’d pay to see that.
“Dr. Zakir Naik condemns atrocities committed in the name of Jihad,” Daily Observer (Gambia), October 13, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):
The founder and president of the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), Dr. Zakir Naik has in strongest terms condemned the atrocities carried out by terrorist groups around the world in the name of Jihad, where innocent people lost their lives.
The renowned international orator on Islam and Comparative Religion was speaking on Saturday night at the premises of the Law Faculty of the University of The Gambia during the fourth chancellor’s lecture on the theme, ‘Terrorism & Jihad: An Islamic Perspective,’ as part of a series of lectures to be conducted by him in the country, as a special guest of the Gambian leader, His Excellency Sheikh Professor Dr. Alhaji Yahya AJJ Jammeh Babili Mansa, on the occasion of the 20th July 22nd celebrations.
The multiple awards and accolades winning Indian scholar said every Muslim must be extreme in adhering to the teachings of the doctrines of Islam, noting that the current form of Jihad being propagated by some groups is not in line with the teachings of the Quran. “Jihad is misunderstood by both Muslims and non-Muslims. Jihad means to strive and struggle to make the society better. The best form of Jihad is to strive and struggle against non-Muslims, using the teachings of the Quran; to the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him and the Almighty Allah, Islam means peace,” he told thousands of Gambians at the UTG’s MDI Campus.
According to Dr. Naik, the killing of any innocent person, either Muslim or not is prohibited by Islam, while condemning the double-standard, played by the western powers and media who describes Muslims as extremists and fundamentalists.
He said in unequivocal term that, even in Islamic Jihad, there are laid down rules and regulations as when and how to kill a person, which he noted, totally contradicts what is currently being happening around the world, by some groups who claim to fight for Jihad.
He used the lecture to advise young Muslims to be careful of Satan and do away from things that are not in line with the teachings of the Quran and practices of the Prophet, Muhammed (SAW)….

why is he an “Islamic apologist”? Where does he apologise for islam? Camoron, B Hussein Obama, etc. are apologists.
To me he is your regular Jihadi.
I didn’t know Gambia was in such dire straits.
Guy Macher says
An apologist is a person who makes a defense in speech or writing of a belief, idea, etc.

This man is telling people that Islam means peace? NO, NO, NO and a thousand times NO. Islam means submission ….. and submission does not mean peace. The man is ignorant or a liar …. or an ignorant liar. If he can’t be trusted to get something as basic as this correct why should he be trusted when it comes to explaining concepts that are even more complicated?
SpiritOf1683 says
This man is not ignorant. he’s a liar plain and simple. And lying to the infidel is permissible in Islam to further Islam’s goals.
Michael Copeland says
“Using the teachings of the Koran”….. yes, like
“Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them” (9:5).
It is part of Islamic law, after all.
Jade says
Islam forbids the killing of innocents, does it? Of course the rub is how these savages define “innocent”. He fools NO ONE.

Naik said: “A man is still considered pure when he releases his lust with a sheep or a goat. If there is no woman, then there is no true lust or sexual sin! Then the animal becomes tainted, and must die! So says the Prophet Mohhamad!(PBUH!)”
according to Zakir the movie Gravity should be condemned coz it showed the earth as spherical, not flat.
in my opinion he is a great fool.

Zakir Naik spouts so much nonsense he’s an embarrassment to not only thinking Muslims but to humans in general.
Jaladhi says
There are no thinking Muslims as Mo/allah has told them not to do so!!
apran says
“al`amru bil-ma’ruf wannahyu’anil-mun’kar”, first you act by hand, if failed then act by mouth. That was what the Islam pedophile prophet said in Muslim hadith. Zakir Naik was lying.
Jaladhi says
How conveniently this idiot forgets Islamic jihad is holy war against infidels and that is how Islam arrived in India and went everywhere else. In recruiting for holy war, there was this promise of sharing the loot from infidels and also grabbing the infidel women for their sexual slavery. Now who could refuse such a nice religion of sexual perverts and criminals. Zakir Naik is trying to change the definition of jihad(holy war) to some thing very noble – my foot!! If some body any Muslim on the streets of Pakistan or India he will tell you what jihad means – it only means holy war against infidels in order to convert
or kill them and loot and invade their lands!!
A common mans understanding of jihad is always right and not those of so called educated or learned MUslims who just lie to defend their religion since they are ashamed of its teachings(if can have any brains and conscience).
KrazyKafir says
I gotta admit, no group on this planet has mastered doublespeak as well as Muslims have. It’s one of their most formidable weapons.
Ariel says
This Naik is like every other Muslim, a radical, an extremist, a jihadi who uses his tongue to spread hatred against other faiths. One fails to understand why is this man not incarcerated and exterminated? Why does the West allow him a forum to speak?
doreva says
the best teaching of the koran to use is in reeducation of nonmuslims is of course the part where it says “kill the infidels” or “cut their necks” or whatever…very convincing….

……………………………
What does this mean? It means only Muslims of the “right” sect who are considered “sufficiently Islamic”, and Infidels who are living under Muslim law and paying the Jizya who are not considered to have broken the dhimma—that means living as abject an humiliated second-class citizens.
And then even if a Muslim *does* murder such dhimmis, there is no real penalty for it, since a Muslim cannot be seriously punished for killing a “filthy Kaffir”.
