It is quite odd to see how the media has been portraying Muslim evangelist Zakir Naik as a ‘preacher of terrorism’. Where is the evidence? I have been watching his programmes on his media channel for the past one year and have still to come across content that is inflammatory or against humanity. Is the media selectively quoting parts of his speeches? Many of his stock phrases have a context. If his intent was to spread hatred, why would he be advocating peace? He has been promoting peace through true Islamic teachings (“Zakir Naik’s UK-registered Foundation under scanner”, July 10).
