Islamic reverend Zakir Naik is confronting antithesis from Lebanese activists who recently launched a debate to anathema him from a nation after he was invited by a internal minister to broach a lecture.
The conduct of Lebanon’s Islamic Federation Society, Sheikh Hassan Katerji, had posted on Facebook that Naik’s revisit would take place ‘soon.’
“Good news! Praise be to Allah, a reverend Zakir Naik has concluded to come to Lebanon when we visited him this morning,” he posted on Jun 11, the Hindustan Times reported.
A second post followed shortly that read “Tomorrow we will, God willing, start contacts with a authorities to pledge his protected entrance and residence.”
Zakir Naik postulated Saudi citizenship by King Salman
Soon after activists from a Avaaz height filed a petition to support a anathema on Naik from entering a nation and threatened authorised action.
Khaled Merheb, a tellurian rights romantic and lawyer, said “Zakir Naik is an nonconformist reverend famous to widespread hatred debate that attacks non-Muslims and assuage Muslims alike, and he has been criminialized from entering many countries.”
Naik’s visit, he added, was “dangerous on many levels”, that might “encourage extremism” and enthuse militants. Merheb pronounced a preacher’s views might be in defilement of Lebanese laws per narrow-minded incitement.
The Islamic academician had fled India final year following a anathema on his NGO, a Islamic Research Foundation in a country. However, Naik denies all charges.
