PREFACE For the first time, a complete refutation of every point a Jihadi thinks to justify his hate against non-believers. The only book of its kind to solve the problem of brainwashing and self-radicalization. Zakir Naik’s rise has been significantly correlated with the rise of terror attacks across the globe. The terrorists involved in Dhaka siege, the ISIS Hyderabad Module Chief, Areeb Majeed who fled from India to join ISIS - all had one trait in common. Zakir Naik was their mentor. Anyone from the Indian subcontinent who has been active on the terror-related issue would have, definitely, come across hundreds of young fanatic Muslims, who believe that Allah will grant them 72 virgins in Heaven if they convert non-Muslims and hate idol-worshipping Hindus.  The vulnerable Muslim youth from Indian sub-continent, who does not know Arabic, relies on his interpretation of Quran and Hadiths as authentic Islam. Now his spread has reached weak minds in other countries as well. They quote verbatim from lectures and writings of Zakir Naik that are a sure-shot recipe for breeding terrorists. These fanatics would turn violent if you counter-question. The situation is indeed terrifying. Unless we do something, a vast number of terrorists are already breeding worldwide who would conduct another Florida attack or Dhaka killing - lone-wolf or planned - as a religious duty. The fanatic belief-set comprises following • Only Muslims will go to Heaven. All non-Muslims will burn III

Preface forever in Hell. Even if she is Mother Teresa or Gandhi. • Among Muslims, only those who have converted non-Muslims will go to Heaven. • Jihad against non-Muslims is a gateway to Heaven. • Osama Bin Laden was not a terrorist. America is a terrorist. • Sharia Law must be implemented worldwide. • As per Sharia Law, those who leave Islam must be killed. • In Muslim rule, non-Muslims must not be allowed to preach. But Muslims must preach in non-Muslim countries. • Those who worship graves - like Sufis - are worst of creatures. • Hindus deserve to be called Kafirs - the worst of creatures. Agniveer raised the alarm against Zakir Naik 8 years ago and has been working relentlessly against radical Islam. Several youths who came back from clutches of Zakir Naik have narrated shocking details of his brainwashing cartel.     To fight this rise of terror, Agniveer created detailed rebuttals to Zakir’s speeches and articles that saved a vast number of youths from adopting the path of hatred. It exposed the workings of Islamic Research Foundation formed by Zakir Naik that funded and promoted people who instigated genocide and war against India.  Many of these expose had to be withdrawn because government underestimated the threat Zakir posed to world peace and instead Agniveer had to face security threats.

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist In this book, we bring together all those writings that establish the threat that Zakir Naik poses. And soundly, thrashes his every radical argument.  Not just Zakir Naik, the book soundly answers every radical argument of every fanatic who instigates people to adopt hate as religion.  This book can save the world if translated into major languages and circulated among vulnerable youth. And will equip non-Muslims not to fall trap to his promise of false Heaven by hating non-Muslims. It has already saved thousands and prevented many terror attacks. The only way to counter self-radicalization is to destroy the source - those fanatics who breed hatred against non-Muslims in the name of Islam that means Peace. Funds from the book will be used to fight terrorism and prevent the next attacks. Sanjeev Newar 08 July 2016, New Delhi

DISCLAIMER In this book, by Islam, I mean the interpretation of Islam suggested by radical Islamists and their followers who deny equal rights and heaven to non-Muslims and justify the killing of apostates. By Quran, I imply the translations of Quran as patronized by these fanatics and freely circulated on the internet to radicalize weak minds. There are alternate interpretations of Islam and Quran by humanist scholars, who are considered apostates by these fanatics and they are victimized. We respect these humanists and their faith. These, however, are not focus of this book. Nothing in the book must be considered to refer to them. All my criticisms are exclusively for radical elements, and none else.

CHAPTER 1

THE MENTOR OF TERRORISTS

W

e are often asked why we single out Zakir Naik and focus so much on him. Yes, we agree to do so. Almost all adverse references to Islam on used by Agniveer actually refer to the brand of Islam that Zakir Naik and his followers preach. There may be intellectual differences with other sects and religions also, and that is even desirable among scholars so as to understand truth better. With them, even arguments and debates are the same as what happens between different members of our family. But Zakir Naik is one person who is one of the greatest threats to humanity today. I would put him higher than Osama Bin Laden as a terrorist because while Osama conducts terrorist acts

1

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist himself, likes of Zakir Naik act as breeders of terrorism to give birth of Osama Bin Ladens of tomorrow. It is a matter of shame and foolishness that such psychopath anti-socials are allowed to propagate their hatred in India and in some other parts of the world. We have already exposed virtually all his arguments and ideologies in our previous works. We have shown his blatant double standards and shamelessness. In this chapter, we shall see why and how Zakir Naik is a terrorist. We shall address him, Terrorist Naik, henceforth.

Zakir Naik is sympathizer of Osama Bin Laden Zakir Naik would never condemn Osama Bin Laden. He would simply say he has not met him, so he doesn’t know if he is terrorist or not! Now, why is meeting necessary to know about Osama? Are they supposed to get into some secretive/private acts to know each other better? How many people on whom Terrorist Naik comments freely has he actually met? He says Hitler killed the largest number of people in history. While this is a wrong fact and Muslim invaders of India (from Qasim to Khilji to Tughlaqs to Babur to Akbar to Aurangzeb to Muslim League etc.) have each killed, raped and sodomized a larger number of innocents, has Zakir actually met Hitler to comment on his terrorism? He says that all the greatest terror-acts of last several centuries were done by non-Muslims as per some website best known to him. But has Zakir met those people to comment on them? Zakir blames it all on media and says no one knows the truth. But in that case, even all other events he comments upon are also

2

The Mentor of Terrorists media reported. The exaggerated claims of Gujarat Massacre in 2001 were also media reported. Why does he so easily believe in them then? In final defense, Zakir says that if Osama is terrorizing America – a terrorist nation – he is with Osama and appeals all Muslims to be a terrorist to scare other terrorists! Now, what proof does Zakir have to conclude that America is a terrorist? Does he live in the white house? Zakir will never even utter that if Osama conducted 911 as indicated in media, then he considers Osama to be among the worst sinners! He would simply say I don’t know. Zakir conveniently ignores a host of interviews that Osama himself gave to proclaim his terrorist designs! But he is convinced that America is a terrorist! Does he have insiders in CIA or White House? No wonder that may also be true. After all attacks like 911 are implausible without the involvement of insiders, as Zakir himself acknowledges! There is a popular video on his stand on Osama. Most of you must have already watched it, but those who haven’t, check it out and google for more such videos from Terrorist Naik. His summary is clear – If Osama is with Quran, he is with him, even if the whole world is against him. The reasons are obvious as even other Islamic scholars have presented. Unless there are spurious sources of funds, one cannot become such a lavish preacher!

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist

Zakir Naik prohibits propagation of other religions Zakir has unusually very clear views on the status of non-Muslims in Muslim countries. He says: Non-Muslims should be prohibited from propagating their religion in Muslim countries because this is against Shariat and Quran. He however vehemently defends that Muslims should be allowed to freely propagate Islam in non-Muslim countries. His logic is two-fold • Logic 1: Islam is the only religious scripture on earth to claim that it is the best and only book of Allah. Since other books are not so ‘shamelessly’ self-glorifying, it is their loss! So as per Islam, Muslim countries cannot entertain non-Muslim ideologies. But since other countries do not have such scriptures, they should allow Islam! • Logic 2: Countries like India are secular countries and hence they cannot prohibit propagation of Islam. He also states that Islamic law is better than secularism! He goes further and says that had non-Muslims been so sure about their religions, they would have already prohibited propagation of other religions in their countries!! Thus, it is win-win-win for Muslims • If say India becomes a Hindu country, then no book of religion says prohibit others from freedom of expression. Hence Muslims should be allowed to preach. • Since India is a secular country, by law Muslims are free to preach. 4

The Mentor of Terrorists • If tomorrow Muslims have a majority in India and implement Shariat, then non-Muslims are prohibited from preaching. Hence ONLY Muslims should be allowed to preach! Can there be a greater height of fanaticism? If you think NO, you are wrong! Simply read on.

Zakir Naik gives terrorism-inspiring speech Zakir clearly supports that Muslims, who leave Islam or turn apostate, should be murdered in an Islamic country. His logic is hilariously fanatic: • Shariat and Islamic law are the best laws. • As per Shariat, a person who rejects Islam is a traitor. • In many countries, traitors who give secrets of the nation to outsiders are punished to death for being a traitor. By the same logic, Islam also punishes apostates with a death sentence. • Since non-Muslim countries are not following Shariat and are secular, they cannot give such punishments. So in these countries, one is free to become Muslims. But the opposite cannot happen in Muslim countries! We have rarely heard a more terrorism-inspiring speech being conducted in police protection! Cyberspace is full of his videos where he foolishly compares leaving Islam with selling secrets to enemies. This example itself shows clearly the mindset of Muslim clergies like him: • What they propagate openly is not true Islam. One would 5

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist come to know of true Islam only after conversion when secrets would be unraveled. • These secrets are so dangerous that if known to the public, it can have a damaging impact on Islam. So traitor has to be quickly killed! • The concept of ‘No compulsion in Religion’ is applicable only in non-Muslim dominated areas. The moment there is a Muslim majority; Islam is like a crime mafia. One can enter, but cannot leave without leaving his life as well!

Zakir Naik’s strategy to spread terrorism Dear non-Muslim fellow kafirs. The designs of fanatics like Zakir Naik are very clear. As per their Islam, they have to propagate Islam by all means. The strategies are as follows: • If in the minority or powerless, emphasize that Islam is only about peace and love. Highlight incomplete verses or canceled verses to showcase how there is no compulsion or violence in Islam. (This will be exposed in later chapters.) • Even if that demands falsehood, it is acceptable under the concept of Taqiah. You can even deny doing Taqiah or fraud. • Never condemn a fellow Muslim, even if he be a terrorist like Osama. Simply pretend ignorance. • Meanwhile, work for hands in hands, and get funds from spurious sources for lavish publicity. • Do massive conversions at ground level through a mixture of all above means. 6

The Mentor of Terrorists • Work with a time-bound target of conversions to increase majority and meanwhile, also start preparing for armed struggle. • As and when the opportunity comes, strike and attack and terrorize. • When you gain power, force one-way conversions, have a death sentence for apostasy and rape, and loot like Muslim invaders have done for 1000 years and what the ISIS is doing today.

Summary – What Muslims and Non-Muslim should do Remember, Islam of Zakir Naik is not a religion. It has less to do with spiritualism and more to do with global political power capture agenda. Thus it acts as a terrorist manual ably supported by other texts like Hadiths and Tafseers. All non-Muslims should start preparing to combat the present and future threats from such fanatics that are inevitable. And all sensible Muslims should work on two paths: • Path 1: Reject radical Islam vocally and adopt the religion of humanity so as to get rid of both the stigma of being associated with such fanatics and witness what a truly spiritual and free life is all about. Say openly that non-Muslims can also get into Heaven if they follow their religion with dedication. This will also go a long way in thwarting the evil designs of fanatics like Zakir Naik and Osama. After all, it is a number game for them! • Path 2: Oppose Zakir Naik as much as they can. Criticize 7

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist terrorists as much as they can. While most of such criticisms are politically motivated and ways to fool public at large, genuine condemnation should come through conversion out of radical Islam as a mark of protest against the view of Islam supporting the murder of apostates. This is a question of our survival. We did not have bombs and modern weapon for 1000 years and hence we survived plunder of Muslim looters. But now it shall become a do-or-die situation if we do not rise up and start creating awareness about this impending danger. Many young terrorists consider Zakir, their role model. Let every one of us work together to thwart the designs of these false terror prophets and the entire mafia that is hiding behind his facade. Let us all work together to expose fanatics and drive in society tolerance, peace and equality! Let’s do it very quickly. In Peace TV, it was announced in 2008 that they would go all way to make India a Darul Islam in next few years to fulfill a 1000 years old dream. The work has already begun on all fronts very aggressively and meticulously. We do not know, how far this entire terrorists-preachers-corrupts-sickulars-traitors chain of mafia goes and what all do they influence today. But we know that unless we get into acts quickly and smartly and emphatically, our survival would be under question mark very soon.

CHAPTER 2

ALL IS FAIR IN RAPE AND TERROR

L

isten to any of the Zakir Naik videos or read any of his defence of terrorism not being a Muslim monopoly, and he would quote in his characteristic semi-stammering shoulder shrugging style: Quran Surah 5 Verse No 32 says that “If you kill an innocent human, it is as though you have killed the entire humanity.” Almost similar is the statement of another popular stuttering star Shahrukh Khan when he eulogizes Islam for being the religion of peace! (Sorry for the comment, but Zakir being a medical student, knows that one stutters and shrugs shoulders when he lies! At least he should know so if he actually remembers medical studies as well, as per his claims!)

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist

Zakir Naik using Taqiah to fool the world Indeed a very noble thought, and we salute all those great men and women who believe in the above verse with utmost sincerity. We also agree that Zakir Naik is not providing a wrong reference. The only problem is that he is quoting the verse incomplete and using Taqiah to fool the world. Now Taqiah is an interesting concept used in several sects of Islam which means that it is fair to use deceit and fraud to defeat the enemy or non-Muslim. To know the reality, let us review what the verse actually means as per leading translations and commentaries of Quran. Note that we only refer to authentic Islamic sites and books for reference and not sites of anti-Muslim kafirs who are bound to burn in Hell forever! With these Kafirs, we shall, in any case, be spending eternity after Judgement Day! For now, we shall only live in the company of those with whom we shall never meet in Hell because they would be enjoying virgins in Heaven while our skins are being roasted in Hell!

As per Quran non-Muslims are not innocent Now this particular verse appears in different places in different versions of Quran. We are not sure where it actually appears in first Quran that was written 20 years after Muhammad’s death. But in new versions of Quran available today, it is verse 35 of Chapter 5 in some editions and verse 32 in others. Let Zakir Naik decide and explain this discrepancy in numbering of verses in final message of God. But for us, the focus is actual verse as given by various translators.

10

All is Fair in Rape and Terror Sahih International Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. Tafsir al-Jalalayn Because of that, which Cain did, We decreed for the Children of Israel that whoever slays a soul for other than a soul, slain, or for, other than, corruption, committed, in the land, in the way of unbelief, fornication or waylaying and the like, it shall be as if he had slain mankind altogether; and whoever saves the life of one, by refraining from slaying, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind — Ibn ‘Abbās said [that the above is meant] in the sense of violating and protecting its [a soul’s] sanctity [respectively]. Our Messengers have already come to them, that is, to the Children of Israel, with clear proofs, miracles, but after that many of them still commit excesses in the land, overstepping the bounds through disbelief, killing and the like. Yusuf Ali On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person–unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land- -it would be as if he slew the whole people: And if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our Apostles with Clear Signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to

11

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist commit excesses in the land. Now several points are very clear from the verse: • This verse is applicable only for people of Israel, and that is why Muslims like Zakir Naik hate Jews so much! • Zakir’s God did not know of the world beyond Israel, or else the final message for the whole world should have provided a message for the entire world and not only Israel! Though we appreciate the spirit of fanatics who now try to implement draconian inhuman teachings of this new book to the entire world, as though the entire world is Israel! • The verse provides the conditions of exception. Anyone who is corrupt can be killed. A corrupt person is not innocent as per Islam. So far so good. Even we believe that corruption should have a severe punishment. But let us go a step further and see what exactly is corruption or innocence as per Zakir’s Islam. Tafseer-e-Jalalayn details this – corruption includes unbelief among other variants. So in summary, if you are not a Muslim, or you disbelieve in Allah, Rasul, Quran, Angels, Judgment Day, Heaven, Hell you are not an innocent as per Zakir Naik and his Quran. You are corrupt, and hence this verse is no way applicable to you. If you want to be innocent or not corrupt, accept Islam.

Killing of Non-Muslims is Legitimate To further substantiate this definition of innocence/ corruption, let us review the following: Refer to the youtube video titled “Killing of Non-Muslims is Legitimate”

12

All is Fair in Rape and Terror The mullah, a very eminent one, claims very clearly that a non-Muslim is not innocent and whatever a Muslim does, including terrorism, cannot be condemned by another Muslim. That is why Zakir Naik never condemns Osama Bin Laden. Zakir Naik himself answers a question stating that if non-Muslims are perturbed because they are called Kafirs, they should embrace Islam. Refer his book on “Common Questions non-Muslims ask about Muslims.” Whole of Zakir’s Quran is full of treatment to be meted out to Kafirs and are further elaborated by Hadiths. We shall provide some excerpts here itself. The very next verse from same Surah 5 (Verse 33 in Sahih International version) explains the context of the previous verse. It says: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,” The Tafseer-e-Jalalyn only elaborates upon this meaning more brutally, and readers can check out for themselves from quran.com. The intent is clear – if you are corrupt (as per Islamic definition), or oppose Allah/ messenger; you would be punished in most brutal manner. I would have wished that a book of peace would have emphasized more on forgiving and not the punishments that would be 13

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist meted out if you do not yield. Thus the very verse which is cited as the verse of Peace by Zakir Naik and ShShShahrukh Khan are actually verses of blackmail and threat.

Allah would forgive anything but not disbelief Some Muslims inspired by Zakir may argue that corruption does not include disbelief in Allah/ Muhammad but only publicly mischievous activities. Our counter-question would be to show one single verse from entire Quran that explicitly says that non-Muslims or disbelievers are to be treated equally and that disbelief is not the gravest crime. In fact, a huge number of verses exist which claim that disbelief is the worst crime deserving worst punishment. As per fanatic version of Islam propagated by Zakir’s Quran, Allah would forgive anything but not disbelief in Allah / Rasul / Quran. If peaceful disbelief is indeed innocence and not corruption, why would Allah punish peaceful innocents forever in Hellfire?

Fasting: Compensation If believer is killed To understand true character of peace in Zakir’s Islam, let us review the following verses from Chapter 4: Chapter 4, Verse 92 Never should a believer kill a believer; but [If it so happens] by mistake, [Compensation is due]: If one [so] kills a believer, it is ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation to the deceased’s family unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer, the 14

All is Fair in Rape and Terror freeing of a believing slave [Is enough]. If he belonged to people with whom ye have a treaty of Mutual alliance, compensation should be paid to his family, and a believing slave be freed. For those who find this beyond their means, [is prescribed] a fast for two months running: by way of repentance to Allah: for Allah hath all knowledge and all wisdom. Chapter 4, Verse 93 If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein [For ever]: And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him. Very clearly, Hell is recommended only for killing a believer and not an innocent or non-believer. Further, in the case of emergency, even if a believer is killed unintentionally, it is NOT as though entire humanity is killed. You can compensate by freeing a slave or paying compensation or fasting. That is why terrorists are so comfortable throwing bombs around and then compensating through fasts!

Belief in Allah and Muhammad is must Zakir’s Islam makes it more clear in Surate Nisa 150, 151 that those who differentiate between Allah and Muhammad and say that they shall believe in some things but not on other, and want to have a middle path are true Kafirs. And we have prepared worst of punishments for them. Clearly, disbelief is the greatest corruption and the favorite verse of Zakir and Shahrukh are not going to save you! We have explained in this book and others Why Zakir’s Islam is fanatic to find numerous verses that ensure that a non-believer is not innocent, and disbelief is the greatest form of corruption or

15

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist mischief. And hence as per his Quran, non-Muslims simply do not qualify to be called human beings forget about innocent humans. Often parrots like Zakir Naik claim that Jehad is misinterpreted and in fact he himself is true Jehadi. I agree that Zakir Naik is a true Jehadi. But so are Baghdadi, Osama Bin Laden, Kasab and all terrorists who spread Islam through violence. Recent arrests of Zakir-inspired ISIS Jihadis in Bangladesh and India make it crystal clear. Tafsir e Husaini clearly states that to overpower non-believers with the might of Islam, Quran or Sword is Jehad. Surate Imran 28 is elaborated by Jalalyn as follows: If for fear or self-defense, one has to make friends with Kafirs, there is no harm provided in heart you have hatred and jealousy with Kafirs. That is why likes of Zakir Naik tend to fool people (read non-Muslim kafirs) by showcasing Islam as a peaceful religion and working in-hand with Bin Ladens of the world. This was also the strategy of Sufis like Chistis whose sole aim was to spread Islam by fooling Hindus and acting as spies of terrorists like Muhammad Ghauri.

Muslim Rights and Human Rights are separate Visit the site of Darul Uloom Deoband. It states Rights of Muslims and Rights of Human Beings separately. All compassion and brotherhood are only for Muslims. You are expected to conceal their shortcomings, overlook his faults, remove his difficulties, accept his excuses and do 36 more things for him. That is why Zakir Naik et al. never condemn Muslim terrorists and overlook their faults and remove their difficulties. That is why a fatwa is never issued against Shahrukh Khan for his vulgar movies, but they will have an objection to idol worship!

16

All is Fair in Rape and Terror And for humans, very tactfully, it is mentioned that innocents should not be harmed. (We know definition of innocent in above analysis) After two more silly points, it is mentioned that they should be punished only as per Shariat. Now they assume here that non-Muslims would be interacting with Muslims only when Shariat (Islamic law) is applied for punishments and not otherwise. And what Shariat would say would be clear to all by now. Readers can visit “Rights in Islam” on internet and check out further details on the minds of the fanatics.

No Mercy for women in Zakir’s Islam Do not have the illusion of comfort that if you are a woman and have a child, Jihadi would have mercy on you. In Islamic wars, women are the worst tortured. Men die, but women have to face the torments of remaining alive. That is why throughout history, during Muslim wars, Hindu women preferred to commit Jauhar (committing suicide by burning self-alive) or have themselves killed. The ghastly practice of Sati has its origin in the Islamic view of Kafir women. So we appeal to all sensible non-Muslims to beware of fanatics like Zakir and others who emphasize on modern Quran being a book of peace. The only Muslims, who are peaceful, are those who do not believe in Zakir’s Islam or do not take Zakir’s Quran seriously or have never read it. If you ever find a Muslim who claims that he has studied the Zakir’s Quran thoroughly and believes it to be final and the ONLY book of Allah and completely perfect, considers that all non-Muslims would go to Hell; rest assured, he is simply doing Taqiah (fraud) and can potentially be as dangerous as Osama or Zakir. Rise up to unite people against such bombs and time bombs before it’s too late.

17

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist We quote from authentic (Sahih) Hadiths on Islamic view on kafir women:

Sahih Muslim: Innovative rape techniques for Jehadis Sahih Muslim: Book 008, Number 3371: Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-’azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Mes- senger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. Sahih Muslim: Book 008, Number 3373: Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported: We took women captives, and we wanted to do ‘azl (coitus interruptus) with them. We then asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) about it, and he said to us: Verily you do it, verily you do it, verily you do it, but the soul which has to be born until the Day of judgment must be born. Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 137: Narrated Abu

18

All is Fair in Rape and Terror Said Al-Khudri: We got female captives in the war booty, and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So we asked Allah’s Apostle about it, and he said, “Do you really do that?” repeating the question thrice, “There is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into existence, till the Day of Resurrection.” Agniveer: Zakir’s Prophet says to his followers to verily go ahead and rape the captive infidel women. With such evil, ridiculous teachings in his version, how can Zakir Naik claim Islam to be practical for women rights and human rights! Or is it practical only for the rapists?

Sahih Muslim: Killing those who refuse to accept Islam SAHIH MUSLIM CHAPTER 1: REGARDING PERMISSION TO MAKE A RAID, WITHOUT AN ULTIMATUM, UPON THE DISBELIEVERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN INVITED TO ACCEPT ISLAM Sahih Muslim: Book 19, Number 4292: Ibn ‘Aun reported: I wrote to Nafi’ inquiring from him whether it was necessary to extend (to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept (Islam) before meeting them in the fight. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith. Nafi’ said that this tradition was related to him by Abdullah b. Umar who (himself) 19

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist was among the raiding troops. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn ‘Aun and the name of Juwairiya bint al-Harith was mentioned beyond any doubt. Agniveer: Thus, if any one of us has ever been invited to accept Islam (as done through Peace TV and websites), now we can be murdered by the grace of Zakir’s God without any notice! Does Osama Bin Laden need any other justification? And that is why Zakir Naik cannot criticize Osama after all this?

Sahih Muslim: Killing Women and Children SAHIH MUSLIM CHAPTER 9: PERMISSIBILITY OF KILLING WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THE NIGHT RAIDS Sahih Muslim: Book 19, Number 4321: It is reported on the authority of Sa’b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them. Sahih Muslim: Book 19, Number 4322: It is narrated by Sa’b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them. Sahih Muslim: Book 19, Number 4323:

20

All is Fair in Rape and Terror Sa’b b. Jaththama has narrated that the Prophet (may peace be upon him) asked: What about the children of polytheists killed by the cavalry during the night raid? He said: They are from them. Agniveer: What additional gospel do terrorists need to plant bombs, hijack planes and conduct 26/11 or 9/11!

Conclusion The message is very clear. If you are not a Muslim, you are NOT innocent. If you are not a Muslim, you are the most corrupt person. Rapists and murderers may be forgiven by Zakir’s God, but not you. So despite how much you admire Zakir Naik’s antics or Shahrukh Khan’s nautanki, there is no way that modern Islam can recommend peace for you! We appeal to all true lovers of peace and brotherhood, Muslim or non-Muslim, to rise up to combat the fraud and fanaticism propagated by these perverts and help make the world a safer place. Let us join hands to tackle the menace of intolerance and deceit. Let us no more be fooled by false promises of peace by those who, in any case, curse us to Hell forever for not agreeing with them. Let us wake up to combat such terrorist and fraudulent mindsets ourselves and justify our existence as Manushya – creatures who can think, analyze and rise above the self for the welfare of all. May the truth prevail!

CHAPTER 3

HATE INDIA, GET HEAVEN

N

o one knows why the land of believers of Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah (May all be in bliss) faced continuous attacks on its territory from last 1400 years by foreign invaders. Did Indians go to Mecca and sack it, desecrate Kaba? If no, for what sin of ours the Arabs, Turks and many more returned us the favor by demolishing thousands of temples like Somnath, Ayodhya, and Kashi? Did we ever send our armies to capture Arab and Turkey for which any tyrant Arab or Turk is invading us started breaking records of atrocities set by the previous Ghazi? What are we left with today after losing half of our territory and people to a foreign cult in the last thousand years?

22

Hate India, Get Heaven Why do we glorify these butchers like Babur, Akbar, Aurangzeb, Humayun, Moinuddin Chishti, Tughlaks, and Khiljis? Shame on those who wrote Babur as the founding father of unity among kingdoms in Indian subcontinent irrespective of the fact that he was a self-confessed butcher claiming to have raised pillars of cut heads of thousands of Hindus to make India land of Islam. Same with Akbar, who is claimed to be the greatest king of India till date by many wicked so-called historians, but was actually the killer of 30000 innocent civilian Hindus in one day of conquering Chittaur Fort. But there is another frame of reference to look at all this according to Zakir Naik, and that is the will of Allah and His Rasul! According to the leading commentators and translators of Quran approved by Zakir Naik, Allah in Quran [9:5] commands Muslims to slay the polytheists and idol worshippers wherever they are found! In [9:29], Allah is claimed to say that Muslims should fight anyone who disbelieves in any of Allah, Quran, Muhammad, heaven, hell, angels, etc. until they become Muslim. Whoever refuses to convert to Islam, make him/her pay Jizyah Tax which is the price of being safe to be paid by NonMuslim in an Islamic country and at the same time the symbol of his subdued position in front of Muslims. Those who refuse to pay Jizyah, act as per [9:5] and send them to the eternal hellfire! In history too, whoever Arab or Turk, demonstrated these verses in practice and waged war against Kafir India, carried out the massacre, plunder, loot, abduction, rape, slavery, etc., were considered as fighters of Allah (Mujahideen) and hailed as Ghazis by Muslims. Even today all these Ghazis are rated very high by the subcontinent Muslims.

23

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist In our opinion, Muslims of the Indian subcontinent are the most unfortunate people living on earth. These are the same people whose mothers and sisters (Hindu and Buddhists that time) were dragged out of their houses by Arab Army and shipped to Arab to fill Harems of Caliphs as well as the slave market where they could be purchased as sex slaves by Allah’s chosen people Arabs. The same has been extensively covered in Arab and Mughal chronicles. These are the same people whose fathers’ and brothers’ heads were used to raise pillars of cut heads so that the whole city could see the wrath of Allah’s army for the sin of not accepting Islamthe religion of peace. [To know more, please read Baburnama by Babur, Diary of Taimur, Abul Fazal’s Aain e Akbari and other autobiographies of Muslim rulers in India]. The saddest part is that the unfortunate descendants (today’s subcontinent Muslims) of those mothers and fathers today applaud these butchers of their ancestors. Readers would be aware that Allama Iqbal, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Bhutto Family of Pakistan (Julfikar Ali Bhutto and Benjeer Bhutto), etc. were Muslims since a few generations only! For example, Iqbal’s grandfather was a Kashmiri Hindu and Jinnah’s grandfather was a Gujarati Hindu. Bhutto family belongs to the Rajput ancestry. But alas! The damage done to India and Hindus by these recent converts is unmatched in the history. And now there is another name in the list! This is Zakir Naik, the descendant of Maharashtrian Hindu. He preaches Islam in India and abroad. Whole India hates him for his anti-humanistic approach on various subjects like hell to all Non-Muslims irrespective of their good deeds, support of polygamy and sex slavery, the

24

Hate India, Get Heaven death penalty for apostates, disallowing Non-Muslims to preach their religion in Islamic countries, etc.

Zakir Naik lies to Hindus But now he is not restricted to supporting Laden alone which he has done openly! We are going to expose the dangerous plots of his team against his own motherland India, which has been recently made public by one of his close allies. Readers will find what his friends are doing to the country that nurtured him and gave him fame. But before that, let’s have a look what Zakir Bhai has to say to Hindus. There is no compulsion in religion! To you, your religion, to me mine! Islam does not allow to kill innocents. In Islam, the killing of one innocent is equivalent to the killing of entire humanity. Islam is the religion of humanity. Islam means peace. Islam is the solution to humanity! Islam was not spread by the sword in India because we Muslims ruled India for 1000 years and if we had wished, we could have converted each of the Hindus to Islam. But India still has 80% of Hindu population, and this is the proof that Islam was spread peacefully. No Muslim can force you to his religion

25

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist

Traitor Israr Ahmed‘s Alliance with Zakir Naik These are some favorites of Zakir Naik while among Hindus. But look at what his Pakistani Peace TV ally says in Pakistan! Dr. Israr Ahmed was a Pakistani scholar and a renowned speaker of Zakir’s channel Peace TV also. He passed away recently. His programs are still aired on Zakir’s channel. One could check Peace TV website to ascertain that Israr Ahmed is the part of Zakir’s team. This Mullah, before he died, in an interview with a Pakistani Channel, revealed that the Muslim Armies would once again attack India and this time, will completely establish Islamic rule in India. This gentleman has given the references from Hadith of Muhammad and has assured of the fulfillment of those because of being sayings of Prophet Muhammad. Please check his videos where he talks about the upcoming Islamic victory over India (Ghazwa e Hind)! He says- “…. Allah has destined two armies of my Ummah (Muslims) for the heaven. One of those will attack India… Afghanistan and Pakistan will make together a greater Islamic kingdom that will expand in both directions (east and west) and will establish Islamic rule everywhere.” [Readers are also requested to read Hadith regarding attack on India - Ghazwa e Hind at https://ghazwatulhind.wordpress.com/] By now our readers would have been aware of what Zakir and his organization wants to achieve! Is there any doubt that his aim is to make Indians slaves of Islamic rule? Now because no one can dare to announce publicly that Hadith inspire Islamic terrorists to

26

Hate India, Get Heaven attack India, Zakir Bhai is very cleverly using the Islamic concept of lying, Taqiyya! He repeats the above lines- Islam means peace etc. in front of Hindus whenever they remember the bloody history of Islam in India or some violent verses of Quran and at the same time, preparing Muslims in Islamic countries such as Pakistan and Iraq to attack India to fulfill the Hadith of Muhammad. The idea is to keep fooling Hindus of India that there is no compulsion in religion and agitate Muslims of outside to be among the army of those Ghazis who are going to land directly in heaven as per Muhammad’s Hadith! Give Islam=peace garbage to Hindus from inside and wait for the divine army of Muhammad to attack from outside! And some day, attack India like Muhammad Bin Qasim and paint it with Islamic color. Convert Kafir Hindus to Muslims or make them pay Jizyah. Kill those refusing both options. We are aware that this book and particularly this chapter will excite Jihadi quarters all around leading to lots of rebuttals/responses getting published. We cover here four possible excuses that came to our mind which would be used to defend Zakir Naik along with our questions and demands for each-

Jihadi: Zakir Naik has no relation with Israr Ahmed Zakir Naik has no relation with Israr Ahmed. Thus Naik is not accountable to any of Israr’s comments or actions. Agniveer: • If that is so, does that mean Zakir Naik considers those Hadith wrong that Israr thinks as right? If yes, why did not Zakir condemn Israr who portrayed Islam in a bad light?

27

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist • Why did Zakir Naik continue to have him in his team even after he spewed venom against India, the motherland of Naik? Even today, the recordings of this terrorist Israr Ahmed are aired on Zakir’s Peace TV, why? • We demand that if Naik disagrees with Israr on this, then he should declare him a terrorist for being involved in anti-Indian plots of conquering and establishing a rule forcefully. • We also demand that Zakir Naik apologizes for his ties with such enemy fanatic till the end. If Zakir Naik thinks Israr was wrong, then he must announce that the Hadith Israr referred were wrong and were lies. Also, he should either get Fatwa issued against those Mullahs who consider these Hadith authentic or prove to them that these are wrong.

Jihad: Israr Ahmed never forced anyone with his beliefs Everyone has right to opine. Israr gave his views, why you have problems? He never forced anyone with his beliefs! Agniveer: • Great! But what happens in Islamic countries where anyone’s opinion against Quran or Muhammad becomes the cause of death punishment for that person? When Muslims can’t listen to anyone’s opinion on Muhammad or Quran, why should someone be spared in the name of opinion, who is guilty of dangerous plotting against Hindus and India? • The way Muslims love Muhammad, the same way true In28

Hate India, Get Heaven dians love India and its culture. So it’s the duty of every patriot to demand severe punishment for anyone having atrocious motives against our country. Anything wrong with it? • By the way, what is the reason that no Non-Muslim can ever give his opinion on his faith in Islamic countries but Muslims everywhere demand this right?

Jihadi: Israr’s Hadith is not correct The Hadith that Israr quoted are not Sahih but weak. Thus it’s not right to build a case based on such Hadith. Agniveer: • What is the reason that the Hadith that remain weak/wrong in Hindu majority India suddenly become Sahih and invincible truth from Muhammad’s tongue few miles across the border (in Pakistan)? Is there any Mullah in Islamic countries who can declare these Hadith as weak/wrong? • If these Hadith are wrong/weak as per Zakir, he should openly criticize these along with the scholars, publishers and writers/narrators who have defamed Islam in the world as an intolerant religion by supporting, publishing and compiling/narrating these. • For what reason these Hadith should be considered wrong/ weak when a scholar like Dr. Israr Ahmed has confirmed these as Sahih? And what about the Fatwa issued by Islamic center which unequivocally states that these Hadith of attack on India by Muslim Army is Sahih? Here we provide the important portion of this Fatwa:

29

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist Question What is your ruling on the hadith in Nisai Shareef about Ghazwa tul Hind? Are the hadith authentic & also whether this Ghazwa has already taken place in the past or will take place in the future. It would be appreciated if the answer is descriptive and explanatory. Answer …This Hadeeth in which the conquest of India is mentioned was reported by An-Nassaa’i, Ahmad, Al-Bayhaqi and others from Thawbaan may Allaah be pleased with him, and Shaykh Al-Albaani may Allaah have mercy upon him classified it as Saheeh in “Saheeh Al-Jaami’.” Besides, Ibn Katheer may Allaah have mercy upon him said in his book “An-Nihaayah Fil-Fitan Wal Malaahim”: “Indeed, the Muslims conquered India in 44 (A.H) during the reign of Mu’aawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyaan may Allaah be pleased with him and some incidents took place, and we mentioned them in detail. Also, the great king As-Sa’eed Al-Mahmoud Ibn Subiktikeen, the ruler of Ghaznah and its surroundings conquered it in about 400 (A.H), and he did there some renowned acts and good matters, and he broke the great idol called “Somnath” and took its garlands and swords and returned to his country victorious and safe.”

Jihadi: The Hadith’s attack on India has fulfilled The Hadith of attack on India is Sahih, but it has already been fulfilled. Hadith was referring to the attack on India by Muhammad Bin Qasim, which has already happened. So no divine planning of forcefully capturing Indian again!

30

Hate India, Get Heaven Agniveer: • Israr Ahmed and the Fatwa we shared both undoubtedly say that final Hadith of Ghazwa e Hind (conquering of India) is yet to be fulfilled. Please go back to Point 1 (a) and (d) if you are planning to differ with Israr on this issue! • If this Hadith is assumed to have been fulfilled already, this again proves that Islam came to India with sword and ruled India by the sword, and all this happened with the divine inspiration of Allah and Rasul. This way Zakir Naik is again caught doing Taqiyya (lying) because his stance on Islamic invasion in India is that Muslims did not spread/rule Islam through sword whereas this Hadith seems to say otherwise! It is evident from the activities of Zakir Naik it is evident that his sole aim is to destroy India completely in the name of Allah and Muhammad.

31

CHAPTER 4

HATE HINDUS, GET HEAVEN

T

here is no compulsion in religion- another favorite quote of Zakir Naik to showcase his brand of Islam as a religion of peace. Even we agree that Surah Bakar 2:256 is one of the most benevolent verses of Quran. Had this been the only verse in Quran, I would have hailed it as the greatest slogan for tolerance and peace. Let me reproduce this great verse here:

Surah Bakar 2:256: There is no compulsion in religion “La ikraha fee addeeniqad tabayyana arrushdu mina alghayyi faman yakfur bittaghootiwayu/min billahi faqadi istamsaka bilAAurwa32

Hate Hindus, Get Heaven tialwuthqa la infisama laha wallahusameeAAun AAaleem”. “There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.” I believe this verse must be belonging to the original Quran. This was the time when Muhammad was joining people together in Medina for his great faith. He wanted to make it as lenient and tolerant as one could. But this is only a small part from beginning of Quran. The real story unfolds from here:

Abrogated Verses in Quran In Zakir’s Quran, many Ayats/ verses are supposed to have been abrogated and replaced with new Ayats. Sounds confusing! But that’s true! Because there was no other way to create a new Quran from the old message of Muhammad. Let us explain this concept of abrogation a bit here: This doctrine of abrogation is based on two verses that, according to Zakir, God allegedly instructed prophet to put into the Quran. “None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?” Surah 2: 106 “When We substitute one revelation for another, and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages), they say, “Thou art but a forger”: but most of them understand not.” Surah 16:101 As per these, new verses (Nasikh) in Quran replace old verses

33

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist (Mansoukh). Out of 114 Chapters of Quran, at least 71 are supposed to have been affected by this concept of abrogation. Refer “al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh” (The Abrogator and the Abrogated) which was authored by the revered Muslim scholar Abil-Kasim Hibat-Allah Ibn-Salama Abi-Nasr. The book goes through every Surah (chapter) in the Quran and cites in great detail every verse that was cancelled-out/overridden by particular verses that were written later. The summary conclusion is clear. Out of 114 chapters of Zakir’s Quran, a maximum of 43 chapters remain which can be taken as authentic.

Quran 9.5: Slay the idolaters wherever you find them Without getting into much details, let us come to the main point – Verse 2.256 that claims there is no compulsion in religion was abrogated and replaced by Verse 9:5 – The verse of sword. Now let us see what this verse is: Sahih International And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Pickthall Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and estab34

Hate Hindus, Get Heaven lish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Shakir So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Jalalayn Then, when the sacred months have passed — that is, [at] the end of the period of deferment — slay the idolaters wherever you find them, be it during a lawful [period] or a sacred [one], and take them, captive, and confine them, to castles and forts, until they have no choice except [being put to] death or [acceptance of] Islam; and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush, [at every] route that they use (kulla, ‘every’, is in the accusative because a [preceding] genitive-taking preposition has been removed). But if they repent, of unbelief, and establish prayer and pay the alms, then leave their way free, and do not interfere with them. God is Forgiving, Merciful, to those who repent. The essence is that kill the idol worshippers wherever you can. The next verses explain why you can never have a treaty with idol worshippers, and there are other verses which say that even if you have to make friends with Kafirs, make sure you have hatred against them in your heart. (Surah Imran 28)

There is no compulsion in religion Now, in recent times, many scholars have started arguing that 2.256 35

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist was not abrogated, and it remains a valid verse of Zakir’s Quran. But this argument is contradictory of facts and itself: • If indeed there is no compulsion in religion, why is punishment for apostasy DEATH in Islamic Shariat? Why does no scholar like Zakir Naik or anyone else ever proclaim that Suadi Arabia and all those countries who give death punishment for apostasy and insulting Islam/Prophet are against Islam and anti-Muslim? • If indeed this peaceful verse is valid, why is the propagation of non-Muslim religions prohibited in Muslim countries? • If indeed there is no compulsion in religion, why are there countless verses asking to have hatred against non-believers and kill them or force them to become Muslim? Some other scholars say that this verse was indeed abrogated, but abrogation means that in a different context of war, the verse of Sword (9.5) would be valid, else in non-war situation verse of no compulsion would be applicable. • If that be so, this implies double standards. It basically means that if you are not powerful enough, let there be no compulsion. So talk peacefully, but having hatred in heart for non-Muslims as per Sura Imran 28 and work for your agenda tactfully. • But the moment you attain power, the verse of Sword gets applicable. Then kill the non-believers unless they ask for mercy and agree to become Muslims. This has been testified in the history of the growth of Islam. Wherever they were powerless, they talked of peace and no-com36

Hate Hindus, Get Heaven pulsion. And the moment they got powerful, they started forcing Islam through the threat of the sword. Even in the history of Quran, the no-compulsion verse was revealed when Muhammad was still trying to get a set of followers for his mission. And the verse of sword was allegedly revealed after Islam had already become dominant. We suspect, by this time, Prophet would have been imprisoned, and all false verse were inserted in his name. Or perhaps, after his death, this verse was inserted by his followers who were killing each other on the might of sword. In any case, only a very few scholars have started claiming that no-compulsion verse is not abrogated, primarily after Islam has been in scrutiny in last few years after its extremist face came to fore. They represent a minority, and no one dare condemn Muslim countries for having capital punishment for apostasy and ‘denigrating’ Islam. Please also note that Zakir’s Islam claims to be the only religion of the world. It refuses to provide the status of religion to other belief systems and puts them in forever Hell. Thus the verse on ‘no compulsion in religion’ only relates to minute differences within Islamic fold and does not refer to non-Muslims. Some Muslim scholars say that only religions are Islam, Christianity and Judaism, and Islam is the only true one among them. So perhaps some terrorists may spare Christians and Jews as per this verse, but idolaters like Hindus are for sure not under the purview of this verse. This is evident from history where Islam was spread in India, merely by force of sword after killing and rapes of millions. They say Hitler performed the largest genocide. But if one looks into deeds of each of the barbaric Muslim looter from 37

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist Muhammad Bin Qasim to Babur to Akbar to Aurangzeb to Tipu Sultan, each of them had been miles ahead of Hitler in brutality with added flavor of sexual perversion amounting to rape and sexual punishments. As per Zakir ‘Terrorist’ Naik, if a country follows Islamic law (and Islamic law is the best law as per Him since Islam is the best religion!), then it is justified to kill an apostate as per Holy Quran! In fact, Zakir Naik quotes from Quran to claim that Islam alone is a religion! Hence the concept of no-compulsion is valid only for Muslims!

Agniveer’s appeal – Summary We appeal to all Muslims and non-Muslims alike to come out of the trap of such an inhuman ideology. • Neither is there any evidence of Zakir’s Quran being actually a work of Muhammad nor is it a book which stands anywhere on parameters of human rights, tolerance, peace, and rationality. • It remains a book written by barbarians for a barbaric society that is no way applicable today. It is the only book on earth where God is supposed to have revised and canceled his own previous message. • There is nothing new in Quran that is not already there in other ancient texts. Belief in Zakir’s Quran is based basically on blind belief on imaginary stories that provide no evidence or logic to be true. And blind belief can only breed intolerance. • The evil designs of these fanatics is clear. They will show38

Hate Hindus, Get Heaven case Islam as peaceful and friendly and tolerant and go all extent to prove this when they are not in the majority. • The moment their power increases, they will start showing their true face and start applying verse of Sword. This is how they plundered India and rest of the world. This is how Zakir’s brand of Islam contributes to the almost entire supply of terrorism today. This is how any peaceful place in the world becomes violent as Muslim population rises above a minimum level. At least Indians should be aware of their evil designs. This is how they grabbed Pakistan and Bangladesh and became 20% of Indian population at least. Hindus have been having their sisters, daughters, and mothers raped by barbaric looters shouting Allah-Hu-Akbar for 1000 years and its high time they started understanding the true meaning of no compulsion. An amnesiac person who enjoys feeding milk to snakes despite being bitten innumerable times is bound to be killed one day. The worst victims of this blinded intolerant cult are those innocent Muslims, who cannot get out of its clutches due to fear of death and repression, and can also not gain the trust of rest of the world due to misdeeds of terrorists and extremists who predominantly hail from Islam in last 1400 years. We appeal to them to come to humanity, which is beyond barriers of caste and race, has no superstitions and only demand belief in the path of truth. As with other chapters, all criticisms here are directed to a version of Islam as presented by fanatic mindsets like Zakir Naik, and their followers. It is not directed towards a host of minor sects and 39

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist ideologies in Islam which themselves face a lot of atrocity for their beliefs. Some of them are: Hashamiya / Taraqibiyah: They Predicate a body to Allah and also allege Prophet (PBUH) of disobedience to Allah. Khazimiyah: They believe Allah loves men of all faiths even if one has been disbeliever most of his life. Nazzamiyah: Followers of Abu-Ishaq Ibrahim ibn-Saiyar. They do not believe in the miraculous nature of the Holy Quran nor do they believe the miracles of Holy Prophet (PBUH) like splitting the moon. Ibriyah: They believe that Holy Prophet (PBUH) was a wise man but not a prophet. Fikriyya: They believe that doing Dhikr and Fikr (Remembering and thinking about Allah) is better than worship. Tanasukhiya: They believe in the reincarnation of the soul. Ahadiyah: They believe in the Fardh (obligations) in faith but deny the Sunnah. Ammaliyah: They believe that faith for one is what he/she sincerely practices. Hujjatiya: They do not believe in the punishment for deeds on the grounds that because everything is determined so whatever one does s/he is not responsible for it. Lafziyah: They believe that Quran is not the word of God, but only its meaning and essence is the word of God. Words of Quran are just the words of the narrator.

CHAPTER 5

HATE NON-MUSLIMS, GET HEAVEN

T

he problem with literally following intolerant religious texts as the word of God is that it corrupts one’s mind absolutely. You not only become intolerant from deep within but also start believing that you are morally right in doing so. Unfortunately, Dr. Naik’s brand of Islam is a perfect example of such mindset. More unfortunately, many Muslims treat him as a role model and champion of True Islam. This is a very sad truth as it’s a sign of growing intolerance in the Muslim psyche. There is a limit to the intolerance a society can digest. Dr. Naik must understand it best, as he has been banned in the US and the UK because of his videos showing his open support of Osama, 41

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist killing of apostates and calling the US a terrorist state. Now ISIS fighters and Dhaka attackers etc. have openly accepted to have been inspired by him. To protect his brand of Islam, he went on to glorify Yazid (killer of Prophet Muhammad’s grandson Hussain) and was thus declared kafir by many Muslim sects. He has just managed a temporary stay on a non-bailable warrant issued against him for not appearing in a session court hearing on charges of waging war against India. These reactions are bound to happen as the literal brand of Islam that he preaches, is extremely intolerant, and this is clear from his videos where he says Non-Muslims must not be allowed to exercise their freedom of religion in Islamic states but demands that Non-Muslims should give all privileges to Muslims in their states! It’s anybody’s guess as to how long humanity could tolerate such intolerance. In this chapter, we examine Dr. Naik’s views where he responds to “why don’t you allow non-Muslims to enter Mecca and Medina?” and will respond to his intolerant arguments. While we edit this chapter, a blast happened in Medina near Prophet’s grave!

Mecca and Medina are the cantonment area of Muslims Every country has a cantonment area where only those people who are involved in the defense of the country are allowed. Similarly, Mecca and Medina are the cantonment area of Muslims. So only those people (i.e. Muslims) who are involved in fighting and protecting and defending Islam are allowed to enter Mecca and Medina. 42

Hate Non-Muslims, Get Heaven Agniveer: Great! Dr. Naik is elsewhere seen preaching us that Islam is the religion of Peace. But what do we have here? He is comparing Islam with a military establishment! The Mecca and Medina are cantonment areas! And all this while silly non-Muslims thought that these were sacred sites of pilgrimage of the religion of PEACE! Moreover, we suspect that Dr. Naik also knows about Abu Tahir’s desecration of Kaaba. That’s why he has no faith in Surah AlFeel of Quran that claims that Allah can protect His house on His own. And thus Dr. Naik believes that Muslims must fight, defend and protect what God Allah himself could not.

Quran prohibits the entry of Kafirs in Mecca and Medina Allah gives the promise in glorious Quran from 9:28 that from this day do not allow the non-believers to enter Mecca and Medina. Agniveer: Now Dr. Naik plays Taqiyya (the religion sanctioned art and license of lying or hiding the truth in Islam) by half-quoting and ill-quoting verse 9:28 of the Quran. Let’s have a look at the complete verse 9:28 of the Quran: “O you who believe (in Allâh’s Oneness and in His Messenger (Muhammad SAW)! Verily, the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, and in the Message of Muhammad SAW) are Najasun (impure). So let them not come near Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah) after this year, and if you fear poverty, Allâh will enrich you if He will, out of His Bounty. 43

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist Surely, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise. ” He ill-quotes because this verse only talks about keeping the non-Muslims away from Masjid Al-Haraam (at Mecca) and not the entire cities of Mecca and Medina. So the Muslims are prohibiting what even their God did not command them to prohibit! He half-quotes because he does not want to tell the non-Muslims the real reason behind not allowing the Non-Muslims to enter the Masjid Al-Haraam in Makkah. And the reason given in the verse is that Non-Muslims are unclean/impure (Najis)!!! Dr. Naik and his fans must hang their heads in shame. Is their Islam a religion or a cult that instigates irrational unwarranted religious apartheid? (do we even need to answer that explicitly now?) Do you know what all is najis (impure) in Islam? • Urine, Feces, Semen, Dead body, Blood, Dog, Pig, Alcoholic liquors, the sweat of an animal who persistently eats najasat. And • Kafir [Polytheists, Atheists, any Christian or Jew that does not believe in Muhammad (in other words all Non-Muslims)] Aren’t you delighted O non-Muslims! You can’t enter Mecca because you are as impure as a pig, feces or dead body as per Zakir’s Islam! This is straight out of Zakir’s version of Quran. A book that openly calls non-Muslims “filthy.” If a Muslim touches a najis thing, he becomes najis (impure)! We are at a loss how could any secular state tolerate such nonsense. And above all how can the so-

44

Hate Non-Muslims, Get Heaven called rational, moderate Muslims treat such a hate-filled doctrine as a religion of choice. We simply don’t understand!!! And please don’t be in any doubt about what Zakir’s God thinks of Non-Muslims. Here’s another set of verses that makes it amply clear that Non-Muslims are the vilest of creatures in the eyes of his God! Quran 98:6: Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islâm, the Qur’ân and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikûn will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures. Quran 8:55: Verily, The worst of moving (living) creatures before Allâh are those who disbelieve, – so they shall not believe. Dr. Naik half-quoted the verse to hide this ugly truth of his brand of Islam from the audience. He thinks Non-Muslims live on some shutter island and would not come to know of this truth. Gone are those days! And moderate Muslims should seriously start thinking about how could they tolerate this nonsensical religious apartheid and still wear the “moderate” and “tolerant” tags.

To enter in Mecca and Medina, you need a Visa For entering any country, you need a visa. If you refuse to produce it or to abide by the laws of that country, you will not be allowed to enter. Don’t agree don’t come! YOU CAN’T ARGUE! Similarly to enter in Mecca and Medina you need a Visa, which is to say with your lips- Lailah illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah. (That there is

45

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist no God but Allah and Muhammad is His final messenger.) Agniveer: When one can’t even argue as per Islam on the entry of Non-Muslims in Mecca and Madina, how wise of Zakir is to give arguments in its defense? Thanks again Zakir Bhai MBBS to accept that Islamic traditions and beliefs can’t be argued. Dear readers, hope you are discovering the tolerance and logic in Islam which is being assured to you Non-Muslims by Islamists of today! However in the same breath, we equally oppose all those beliefs that claim exclusivity of entering Hindus or Christians in any Temple or Church. Can Zakir Naik or any Mullah in the world condemn this discriminatory command of Quran the same way? I wonder what will happen if Hindus of India, Christians and Atheists of the West start making the same Visa policy! Imagine Hindus having a law in India- whoever wants to live or enter in India, he/she must recite Gayatri Mantra or Jai Shree Ram. Whoever fails to do so, will be sent back to his/her respective place. So any Muslim who refuses to recite Jai Shree Ram will not be allowed to live in India anymore! After all, you have to abide by the laws of the country, and you CAN’T ARGUE those! As such, we have no objection against this argument when looked from the standpoint of Saudi as a nation state. It has the right to allow or disallow entry to outsiders in restricted zones. The objection here is against the reason behind banning Non-Muslims at these sites, as the reason is inhuman and reeks of nonsensical religious apartheid. Anyways, the Saudis, in a way, are helping humanity by not hiding the truth of Islam as the likes of Dr. Naik do.

46

Hate Non-Muslims, Get Heaven Humanity should seriously take note of how Zakir’s Islam treats the other and what are the implications of  allowing Dr. Naik’s Islam in a tolerant multi-religious society. By the way, on this VISA argument, we have an embarrassing question for Dr. Naik at the end of the chapter.

Summary Zakir’s arguments show that Islam is more of a military religion than a religion of peace where the Muslims have to fight, protect and defend God’s house as God is incapable of doing the same on His own. God, as per the Quran verse quoted by Dr. Naik, is a religious bigot who thinks non-Muslims are as impure as pig and feces and hence must not be allowed in his house! And finally, we agree with Dr. Naik on just one point that the Saudis have the right to ban Non-Muslims in Saudi cities as it’s their Islamic country after all, and they are free to show the true face of Islam to the rest of the world. But in the same breath, we ask our Muslim friends to think about the consequences of Hindus demanding same right to ban Muslims in India! Will Muslims agree with this peacefully or they only want peace to be practiced by Non-Muslims?

The way out When you interpret the commands and injunctions literally, there are bound to be embarrassments of all sorts. To avoid embarrassment, religions MUST do away with any bigotry and inhuman practices that are currently being followed or condoned by them. Thankfully majority of Muslims who recite the intolerant verses of the Quran in their daily prayers and tilawat in Arabic, don’t know the actual meaning of these verses. The real moderate 47

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist and rational Muslims still have the opportunity to sensitize the community that literal following of the Quran and Hadis will make Islam extremely intolerant and ill-fit in the 21st century. The way forward and way out for Islam is reform. Zakir’s Islam needs to humanize itself and stop dehumanizing Non-Muslims. On argument 3, a question for Dr. Naik: Why Kafirs were requested to enter Mecca without the “Islamic Visa” by Zakir Naik’s Saudi Masters? We would remind our readers, especially Zakir Naik and his Wahabi friends, about the other humiliating incident that took place on November 20th, 1979. Yes, we are talking about the Grand Mosque Seize when a Muslim claiming himself to be Mahdi (the redeemer prophesied in Islamic books to come before doomsday)Abdullah Hamid Mohammed Al-Qahtani attacked the Kaaba with his few hundred armed Mujahideen. He took thousands of the pilgrims, preparing to offer prayers at the Kaaba, hostage. His goons killed a few hundred including Saudi soldiers. Finally, a team of French Commandos was requested by Saudi Government to help rescue the hostages and clear the mosque from the Mahdi and his Mujahids! To cut the long story short, the Kafir French Commandos accomplished the mission, executed the Mahdi and his goons, and rescued the Kaaba and the Muslims. As soon as the benevolent mission was over and the Kaaba was secured, the Wahabis started downplaying the fact that Kafir French soldiers helped Muslim Saudis in that operation. After all, they had to defend the Wahhabi position that a Muslim equals ten Kafirs in strength! Some Islamists had tried to salvage the word of Allah of Muslim supremacy over Kafir in strength, by floating a story that those French Soldiers were made to recite the Kalma

48

Hate Non-Muslims, Get Heaven aka Islamic Visa as per Zakir Naik (Laillah illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah) before they entered the Kaaba for the operation! So as per these storytellers, the French Commandos became Muslims and hence Kaaba was recaptured by Muslims only! It doesn’t matter to them if these Kafir French recited a few words that they did not understand at all and could hardly recite because of their accent! On top of it, they also fail to explain as to why Saudi Muslims who used to recite Laillah illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah five times a day, 365 days a year throughout their lives and of whom Allah is the friend, could not rescue their shrine on their own?

Can Zakir Naik answer? We would like Zakir Naik to answer following queries • Why were the Kafir French Soldiers allowed to enter Mecca without the Islamic Visa aka Laillah illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah? • Why was Saudi Muslim army so incompetent to eliminate few hundred oppressors? Why did Allah let whole Muslim Ummah down by not helping them against the attackers? Why did not Allah act as per His assurance in Quran to help Muslims, especially for Saudis whom Allah loves the most? • Why ten times weaker Kafirs were requested by Muslims to carry out the operation? Was your version of Quran wrong in estimating the relative strengths of Kafirs and Momins? • Will those brave French soldiers go to Jannah (heaven) for the holiest of the works one can ever do i.e. to save the HOUSE OF ALLAH- KAABA? Or they will go to hell 49

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist just like other great people such as Bismil, Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru for the only fault of being Non-Muslims? • If Dr. Naik believes in the story that the French Commandos were made to read Kalma before the operation, then we have one more query: Even if it is assumed that these French Kafirs became Muslims during the operation, they ultimately practiced Christianity after the operation. So they become apostates as per Zakir Naik’s Islam. And everybody knows that Dr. Naik supports the death penalty for apostates. We are interested in knowing from Dr. Naik as to how does he plan to punish these unholy apostates who protected the Holy Kaaba? Do they deserve death here and eternal hell hereafter?

CHAPTER 6

HATE WOMEN, GET HEAVEN

T

hanks to his fans, we have enough YouTube video postings of Dr. Naik’s take on various aspects and practices of his brand of Islam. Continuing with our objective of denouncing falsity and irrationality, we now analyze Zakir on his defense of the indefensible hijab. The Hindu lady in a video asks Dr. Naik that isn’t a Hindu woman who wears a salwar kameez modest? Why degrade women by forcing Hijaab (veil)? She also mentions that since Dr. Naik is so inspired by reformist Raja Ram Mohan Roy, why doesn’t he accept his stand against the purdah (hijab, veil) system?

51

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist Dr. Naik, the literalist follower of Islamic scriptures that he is, presents the following arguments to defend the retrograde 7th-century Arabic practice.

Zakir Naik: I can’t agree with ALL reformists’ ideas Dr. Naik argues that just because he agrees with many of  Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s reformist ideas, it does not mean that he must agree with ALL the reformist ideas of Raja Ram Mohan Roy. To reinforce his argument, Dr. Naik gives the example of Mr. L. K. Advani’s statement that “rapists deserve death punishment”. He supports Mr. Advani’s statement because it’s in line with Islam. But this does not mean he will agree with every statement of Mr. Advani. Agniveer: • We concur with Dr. Naik that it’s impossible to agree with or follow all the views of any person, no matter how great that person be. This much of Dr. Naik’s argument is rational indeed, and we would add that Dr. Naik should apply the same logic on Prophet Muhammad too. Many Muslims blindly follow each and every tradition of the Prophet (Sunnah) no matter how inordinate or irrational they be in current context. [For instance wearing Mera Naam Joker trousers that don’t reach your ankles!. Others refuse to use soap after lavatory because soaps were not manufactured during Prophet’s era!] • But the rest of this argument of Dr. Naik is a departure from rationality and a surrender to blind belief. Nowhere

52

Hate Women, Get Heaven does Dr. Naik enlighten us about Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s arguments against purdah and his rebuttal of those arguments? Instead, he gives us a glimpse of the rigid yardstick that he uses to accept or reject an argument. This is evident from the example he presents. He agrees with Mr. Advani that “rapists should be put to death” NOT because of any rational merit (that it may act as a deterrent) BUT only because that statement is in line with Islamic Law (Sharia). Dr. Naik in a way admits that his brand of Islam is not open to reforms. It’s well known that a religion that is not open to noble ideas from within and without is bound to transform into an irrational fanatic cult dominated by dumb-heads.) Anyways, this part of the lady’s question and Dr. Naik’s response has little bearing on the subject topic of Hijaab. It only highlights the rigidity of Dr. Naik’s doctrine. So let’s move forward.

Zakir Naik: Modesty levels differ according to different regions He then informs us that modesty levels differ according to different regions/cultures. What is modest here may be considered immodest elsewhere. He also takes a jibe on Indian Saree and eulogizes the great Islamic culture of not casting a second glance on women as this would be considered “feasting on her beauty.” Agniveer: • When Dr. Naik knows that modesty is better defined by the culture and region we live in, how foolish it is for his brand of Islam to force a single rigid dress code on women (and men) across the world? Dr. Naik has rather naively exposed his brand of Islam that does not respect cultural differences 53

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist but wants all cultures to succumb to a 7th-century Arabic culture, no matter what the negative implications of such a custom be on the people! Very Sad indeed. • While taking a Jibe at Indian Saree, Dr. Naik forgot that modesty of any other culture might seem taboo and preposterous in another culture. Does he know that an Arab village woman may lift her skirt to cover her face if spotted without a veil (as for her revealing her face is the most immodest act !). She may end up revealing what most of the world may consider immodest exposure. • Dr. Naik also doesn’t know or doesn’t want the audience to know that the Islamic dress code was not a reformist step for women at large. One must know that slave women were NOT ALLOWED to wear the veil. So the devout Muslims were always free to “feast on the beauty”(yuck!) of slave women all the time! Islamic veil is not to maintain modesty of women but to make distinction b/w free Muslimah and a slave girl! [By the way, isn’t allowing Muslims to keep women as slaves expose how much Islam is concerned about modesty of women?]. What springs up from the literal accounts of Islam is that women in Zakir’s Islam are no more than sex objects. Some of whom (called wives) are protected exclusively for husbands and rest (called slave women) need not be protected as their modesty carries no weight and they are public property in Dr. Naik’s terminology. Here’s how it’s been immodestly and  explicitly mentioned in the Tafsirs and Sahih Hadith: (These are not taken from anti-Islamic sites by the way. They are lifted straight from Islamic Publication 54

Hate Women, Get Heaven Houses versions that are online on almost every other Islamic site.) Quran [33:59], Tafsir Ibn KathirHere Allah tells His Messenger to command the believing women, especially his wives and daughters, because of their position of honor, to draw their Jilbabs over their bodies, so that they will be distinct in their appearance from the women of the Jahiliyyah and from slave women…..if they do that, it will be known that they are free, and that they are not servants or whores. Sahih Bukhari Vol 5 Hadith 523: Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet stayed with Safiya bint Huyai for three days on the way of Khaibar where he consummated his marriage with her. Safiya was amongst those who were ordered to use a veil. Sahih Bukhari Vol 5 Hadith 524: Narrated Anas: ….The Muslims said amongst themselves, “Will she (i.e. Safiya) be one of the mothers of the believers, (i.e. one of the wives of the Prophet ) or just (a lady captive) of what his right−hand possesses” Some of them said, “If the Prophet makes her observe the veil, then she will be one of the mothers of the believers (i.e. one of the Prophet’s wives), and if he does not make her observe the veil, then she will be his lady slave.” So when he departed, he made a place for her behind him (on his and made her observe the veil. The brand of Islam that Dr. Naik follows glorifies the traditions of 7th century Arabic Muslims, which is an insult to modesty anywhere in the world today. Keeping women as a slave is not only immodest but cruel and inhuman. Isn’t it painfully ridiculous that

55

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist Muslim men cannot stare Muslim women but stare and rape slave women? Can this at all help in keeping the Muslim men modest in their thought, speech, dress, and action? Here are few Sahih Hadith which expose how much Islam cares for modesty of women.  Sahih Muslim: Book 008, Number 3371: Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-’azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. Sahih Muslim: Book 008, Number 3373: Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported: We took women captives, and we wanted to do ‘azl (coitus interruptus) with them. We then asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) about it, and he said to us: Verily you do it, verily you do it, verily you do it, but the soul who has to be born until the Day of judgment must be born.

56

Hate Women, Get Heaven Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 137: Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: We got female captives in the war booty, and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So we asked Allah’s Apostle about it, and he said, “Do you really do that?” repeating the question thrice, “There is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into existence, till the Day of Resurrection. So this is the “modesty” that early Islam brought to the world. How comfortable would you be with this kind of twisted modesty? “Allowing rape of innocent women,” is this about modesty at all?

Zakir Naik: Modesty as per Quran and Hadith Then he quotes the Quran and Hadith to inform us about all that Islam considers as modesty and how men and women should guard their modesty. Agniveer: Dr. Naik has cleverly skipped the context in which the veiling verses were revealed. The context would have surely helped his audience appreciate how this “noble” practice of wearing the hijaab was started in Islam. There must have been some good reason for starting this practice…Right? Well, no problem, we will give the context, and you be the judge! Here’s how Umar, the companion of the prophet, forced the veil on Muslim women for all times to come Sahih Bukhari (an authentic Islamic scripture) Volume 1, Book 4, Number 148: Narrated ‘Aisha: The wives of the Prophet used to go to Al-Ma57

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist nasi, a vast open place (near Baqia at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. ‘Umar used to say to the Prophet “Let your wives be veiled,” but Allah’s Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam’a the wife of the Prophet went out at ‘Isha’ time, and she was a tall lady. ‘Umar addressed her and said, “I have recognized you, O Sauda.” He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed.  So Allah revealed the verses of “Al-Hijab” (A complete body cover excluding the eyes). Did you read it right? YOU SURE DID! Shockingly, while it was Umar who deserved punishment for harassing the prophet’s wife, Dr. Naik’s God chose to punish the wife instead of punishing Umar for the uncivilized and indecent act. The All-Just God of Dr. Naik’s hadits rewards the culprit and punishes the victim. Well, this is just half the story. You must be interested in knowing as to how effective was the veil injunction of the All-Knowing God in defending the woman’s modesty! If you are a rational person, you would have already guessed that by letting the perpetrator go scot free and punishing the victim, no good could have possibly come out of this injunction. And that is what exactly happened. Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 318: Narrated Aisha: Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) went out to answer the call of nature AFTER it was made obligatory (for all the Muslims ladies) to observe the veil. She was a fat huge lady, and everybody who knew her before could recognize her. So ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her and said, “O Sauda! By Allah, you cannot hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which you should not be

58

Hate Women, Get Heaven recognized on going out. Sauda returned while Allah’s Apostle was in my house taking his supper and a bone covered with meat was in his hand. She entered and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I went out to answer the call of nature and ‘Umar said to me, so-and-so.” Then Allah inspired him (the Prophet), and when the state of inspiration was over, and the bone was still in his hand as he had not put in down, he said (to Sauda), “You (women) have been allowed to go out for your needs. Tell me, dear friends, what kind of a cruel joke is this. A man harasses a woman going out to answer the call of nature. Allah punishes the woman by forcing her to wear a veil and even after veiling herself; she is still harassed. Dr. Naik’s God, as reflected in the hadith, is incompetent and completely incapable of correcting the corrupt. Instead, He unjustly punishes the victim. • Which sane woman in the world would like to wear a veil on this ground? • Is this about modesty at all or about defending an eve-teaser simply because he is a favorite of God’s favorite Prophet? • Can letting the eve-teaser culprit go away scot free help the victim? • Can punishing the victim reform the culprit? And if yes, why not apply the same standards to self ? As we said, YOU BE THE JUDGE! Ironically this icon of injustice is draped and aped mindlessly by Muslim women across the world. Or perhaps even if they have the mind after getting ill due to Vitamin D deficiency, still who cares about half-intelligent women in the fanatic Islamic world? 59

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist Ignorance is not always bliss.

Zakir Naik: Six criteria of modesty in the hadiths Then Dr. Naik lectures us on the six criteria of modesty as described in the hadiths, one of which is that a man should not wear a woman’s garment. Agniveer: This criterion is absolutely shocking to us, and it could be equally shocking for Dr. Naik too. We are informed by some Islamic sites that the Prophet received revelations when he was in the garment of his beloved youngest wife. It was for this reason that he preferred to stay more with her than the other wives. We would request Dr. Naik to protest against these sites which highlight this cross-dressing account of the Prophet as Sahih (Authentic) She told that the people used to choose: ‘A’isha’s day to bring their gifts, seeking thereby to please God’s messenger. She said that God’s messenger’s wives were in two parties, one including ‘A’isha, Hafsa, Safiya, and Sauda, and the other including Umm Salama and the rest of God’s messenger’s wives. Umm Salama’s party spoke to her telling her to ask God’s messenger to say to the people, “If anyone wishes to make a present to God’s messenger, let him present it to him wherever he happens to be.” She did so, and he replied, “Do not annoy me regarding ‘A’isha, for inspiration had not come to me when I was in any women’s garment but ‘A’isha’s.” They then called Fatima, sent her to God’s messenger, and she spoke to him, but he replied, “Do you not like what I like, girlie?” She said, “Certainly,” so he said, “Then love this woman.” (Bukhari

60

Hate Women, Get Heaven and Muslim.) Mishkat Al Masabih, Volume II Book XXVI A similar account is available online says: He said to her, ‘Do not injure me regarding ‘A’isha. The revelation does not come to me when I am in the garment of any woman except ‘A’isha.” We await Dr. Naik’s future videos which clarify if cross-dressing is halaal (and modest) or if there’s any proof that the above hadiths are false. The intention of presenting this Sahih Hadith is not to embarrass, but to help the likes of Dr. Naik in appreciating that it’s naive to be so rigid on dress codes when even the Prophet was flexible about such things.

Zakir Naik: Hijaab prevents the teasing of women He then frivolously gives the example of twin sisters walking the street and encountering a ruffian. He is sure (how?) that a ruffian will tease the sister in a mini skirt and not the other sister in a hijaab. Agniveer: We have already seen through Sahih hadiths that despite wearing a veil, the wife of the prophet was harassed by Umar Al- Kattab. Umar is regarded as one of the best Muslims, a Sahaba (companion of the Prophet). If one of the best Muslims can behave like an eve-teaser against veiled women, a ruffian may end up harassing both the gals in all probability…Right? So the argument that a woman wearing a veil can be any deterrent is proved wrong from hadiths themselves. Also, Dr. Naik forgets to ponder as to Why are not men forced 61

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist to wear the veil? Can’t they have the charms to distract women the same way women can? Dr. Naik would do good to learn from the Vedas in which both men and women are encouraged to wear non-provocative dresses, and strict punishment is prescribed for anyone who teases women. The definition of provocative dress is left to social situations.

Zakir Naik: Quotes the Hindu scriptures Finally, Dr. Naik quotes the Hindu scriptures to show that hijaab and cross-dressing are prohibited in Hinduism too and had Raja Ram Mohan Roy known this he would not have gone against the purdah (veil, hijaab) system. Agniveer: Instead, what we learn from Dr. Naik’s brand of Islam is a shocking account of how unjust is the practice of forcing women to wear a veil. If Raja Ram Mohan Roy would have known this and if the home minister of India comes to know of it, then they would’ve sure banned the veil as it has been banned in France. The reason why this practice was started is pathetic and grossly unjust. No human being can condone such injustice just for the sake of literally following your religion. The societies that don’t reform and do not respect women are bound to perish.

21st Century Muslims are against Burqa Having refuted the more unjust than irrational arguments of Dr. Naik above, we draw your attention to the sane voices in the Islamic world, who are not naive to follow scriptures literally. They are proud Muslims (and Muslimahs) that live in the 21st century, respect the diversity of cultures and most importantly understand 62

Hate Women, Get Heaven the harmful effects of such retrograde practices on health and safety: Ban the burqa? A Canadian Muslim view Sample this rational article by a Canadian Muslim. Source: Ban the burqa? A Canadian Muslim view This person highlights how the burqa is an ill-fit and a threat to Canadian society and the Muslim women. Security: In July this year, an armed man dressed in a burka robbed the Scotiabank in Mississauga and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Safety: In October 2007, a Calgary school bus was involved in a roadside accident in which one girl was killed. Although no news outlet was willing to report this, news clips of the driver showed she was wearing a very restrictive head covering that had almost certainly compromised her peripheral vision and could have been the reason she slammed into a truck parked on the shoulder on a clear day. Health: New studies in England and Ireland have found that Muslim women who wear the burka or niqab (and their breastfed children) tend to get rickets due to an insufficiency of vitamin D, through lack of exposure of their skin to sunlight. A study released by British National Health Service doctors said hijab and burka-wearing women were putting their health at risk because they do not get enough sunlight, an alarming number who wear the burka are suffering from bone deficiencies due to lack of vitamin D. Gender equality: The MCC agrees that the state has no place 63

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist in the bedrooms or wardrobes of the country. However, if the status of any woman in Canada is affected by what happens in the bedroom or wardrobe, be it spousal abuse or the forced wearing of attire meant to marginalize girls or women, then we feel the state must intervene. Society has a role to play to ensure the human rights of girls and women are not being compromised behind closed doors. Girl defies burqa diktat for denim There’s another dangerous aspect to the veil. That it is now being forced on women in radicalized pockets even in our own country. To remind you of this reality here’s a news byte. [Source: “Girl defies burqa diktat for denim”, published at www.deccanherald.com/] Rayana R Khasi is a 23-year-old engineering graduate preparing for civil services main exams. However, she has an even tougher task than preparing for the competitive tests, for she has been facing threats from religious fundamentalists. And the two policemen posted outside her house at Vidyanagar in Kasargod show the enormity of the threat. Rayana’s “crime” was that she began wearing jeans and top instead of the burqa. “It is not that I am exposing myself. I don’t do it. But they want me to cover my entire body, including the face, with burqa as other Muslim women do it here, which I don’t want to,’’ the girl told Deccan Herald over the phone. Imagine, this is happening to an educated girl in a so-called secular democracy! What would be the fate of the Muslimahs, majority of whom are uneducated and cannot be as brave as this girl? Well, haven’t we heard of Muslims being killed or having acid thrown on their faces for not wearing the veil? It’s barbaric, retrograde and despicable!

64

Hate Women, Get Heaven

Conclusion Women are human beings like men (it’s unfortunate that we have to state this explicitly). Just like men, their sexuality is only a fraction of who they are. To reduce them to the status of a sex-object from head to toe is to deny them their humanity, dignity, and integrity. The veil is also an insult to men! It presumes that men are sex maniacs who can get aroused by just looking at a woman’s face! How can a normal Muslim man accept such an insult upon himself ? Modesty is to be maintained, of course, but as defined by the society and native culture and as agreeable to human health, safety, security, dignity and equality. It must not be dictated or forced through rigid and unjust religious injunctions, as in Dr. Naik’s brand of Islam, where the veil is actually a symbol of a failed strategy to ostensibly protect the victim by further victimizing her. Wake up and wake others to stop this inhuman practice and terrorists in the guise of doctors. This Chapter is co-authored by Indian Agnostic.

CHAPTER 7

RAPE WOMEN, GET HEAVEN

T

he greatest ‘women rights’ activist of our times, Dr. Zakir Naik proudly declares that Quran is the only scripture on earth to recommend ‘marry only one.’ And then he declares polygamy as a sure shot way to stop women-exploitation! We will analyze each of his claims one by one now.

Claim 1: Quran says marry only one Islam is the only religion and Quran is the only religious scripture on the face of the earth which says “marry only one” [Quran 4:3]. If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the or-

66

Rape Women, Get Heaven phans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly [with them], then only one… [Zakir Naik takes pause here though the verse continues further, please wait for 8th comment to know why.] Agniveer: • “Marry women of your choice.” Hmm. Haven’t seen a single verse till now which commands a woman to “marry the man of your choice.” Enjoy the gender equality in Zakir’s Islam! • According to Zakir Naik, Quran is the only book to prescribe- “marry only one.” So what is the conclusion? Is it that Allah wants strict monogamy to be practiced, but Muhammad himself set the wrong example by marrying 9/11/13+ women as per books prescribed by Zakir Naik? • Use of wife in plural every time (wives) in Quran while dealing with the matters of husband-wife relationship/ women/duties of man and woman, haram-halal description, etc. exposes the lies of Zakir’s “marry only one” philosophy blatantly! • Extracting “marry only one” from the above verse is as foolish as implying “do not slay idolaters” from the below verse But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem [of war]; but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them… [Quran 9:5] • This verse starts with “Marry women of your choice, Two 67

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist or three or four” and then it says “if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly, then only one.” “Marry only one” of Quran is actually a suggestion to those men who are unable to handle multiple wives. So instead of promoting “marry only one” as a healthy practice among masses, Quran seems to link it with one’s impotency and making a monogamous man believe that he is unable to do justice! Thus this verse actually provokes one to be polygamous which will be the proof of him being just! Some scholars like Dr. Ghali state that ‘justice’ means being able to manage the larger dependents. By this logic, if you are wealthy enough, you can marry as many as you want and produce as many offsprings you desire. He also suggests that the verse does not mean ‘marry two, three or four’ but ‘in twos, threes, and fours,’ implying that at one time, don’t marry more than four! Here is a Sahih Hadith which explodes the Taqiyya (lie) of Zakir Bhai MBBS of “marry only one.” Sahih Bukhari 7.62.7 Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: Ibn `Abbas asked me, “Are you married?” I replied, “No.” He said, “Marry, for the best person of this (Muslim) nation (i.e., Muhammad) of all other Muslims, had the largest number of wives.” According to Dr. Ghulam Jelani Barq, in his book Dual Islam, the Hadith is like this- “The best man amongst my followers is the one who has the greatest number of wives.” So whatever be the case with this Hadith, one thing is crystal clear that “having the largest number of wives” has been linked with one’s status to be best/superior. Moreover, the best Muslim is the one who follows Sunnah (copycat of Muhammad in simple words) of Muhammad. Thus a monogamous male has one more 68

Rape Women, Get Heaven reason to feel inferior to polygamous males that he is not following Sunnah of the prophet. • Note that the verse [4:3] (refer beginning of section Claim 1) starts with a mention of orphans. How is unjust dealing with orphans related to marrying women of one’s choice in the verse? • If someone can’t deal justly with orphan girls, how can he deal justly with other women? • This verse [4:3] is contradicted by [4:129] which says- Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire… In fact, in the presence of [4:129], [4:3] is automatically out of the question. • If [4:3] and [4:129] have to be true at the same time, the only way out is strict monogamy. If A can be practiced only when B is fulfilled and B is impossible to fulfill, it means A should/cannot be practiced. Please replace A by “polygamy” and B by “being fair and just” in A-B analogy and then draw conclusion which is obvious: That polygamy can’t be practiced without being unjust and thus without violating Quran [4:129]. “or [a captive] that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.” [this is the remaining part of [4:3] which Zakir chose not to quote deliberately] Right-hand possesses means slave-girls with whom you have full rights to have sex without restriction of numbers and consent. So Zakir’s Quran is clear! If you want to have more than one

69

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist woman, but can’t marry twice or thrice or even once because you can’t do justice, then no problem. Have innumerable captive women in your house and rape them whenever you wish. And don’t need to bother about being just to them because they, being slaves, don’t deserve to be treated justly! So we see Islamic method of preventing injustice to a woman is hidden in forcing many other women to be raped! Now many Muslim scholars claim that sex-slavery does not amount to rape. As per them, this is a way to entertain the slavegirls!

Claim 2: Vedas don’t say marry only one Zakir Naik claims that except Quran no other text supports monogamy. While we have proved in the previous section that monogamy of Quran is only an exception for the less potent, and hence, greatest insult to women rights; we shall showcase how Vedas very clearly recommend only monogamy as the way for the sensible ones. Analysis of Vedas on polygamy and monogamy: All the Mantras related to the husband-wife relationship in entire Vedas appear in “Dwivachan”- dual numbers and this alone establishes that monogamy is omnipresent in entire Vedas. Please note that Sanskrit has a dual number apart from singular and plural which is exclusively used for TWO persons, not for more than two or less than two. This number TWO wipes out any possibility of polygamy/polyandry completely in Vedas. In Atharva Veda 7.35.4 both husband and wife state that, “You establish me in your heart so that our minds become one and

70

Rape Women, Get Heaven same.” In Atharva Veda 7.38.4, wife says that “You should only be mine. You should not even discuss other women.” Rig Veda 10.101.11 states that a man with two wives is pressed from both sides and weeps like a horse that neighs when pressed from both sides by spokes while driving a chariot. Rig Veda 10.101.11 state that two wives make life aimless. Atharva Veda 3.18.2 prays that may a woman never face the threat of another co-wife.

Claim 3: Dashrath and Shri Krishna had many wives In Ramayan, Dashrath had three wives, Shri Krishna as per Mahabharat had 16108 wives, Bollywood star Dharmendra has two wives then why can’t we Muslims have four? Agniveer: • Nice try Zakir Bhai! But why only Dashrath? Try Ravan next time which will help you claim that in Ramayan when Ravan could abduct Mata Sita, why can’t We Muslims abduct women of infidels? • Don’t you understand the difference between a book of knowledge and a book of history? Ramayan and Mahabharat are historical texts, and Vedas are texts of knowledge. So Ramayan and Mahabharat stories are to be judged based on Vedic morality and then accepted or rejected accordingly.

71

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist • Have you forgotten your own idiom- “don’t judge a car by its driver”? Why judging Hinduism on the basis of Dashrath or Shri Krishna or Dharmendra when you accept that Vedas are the foremost authority in Hinduism? What if we start judging Islam from the deeds of Muslims like Aisha or Ayatollah Khomeini or Katrina Kaif or Zeenat Aman instead of Quran and Ahadith? • Dashrath is no role model or prophet for us in whose acts we have to believe blindly as is the case with you who has to believe divinity in Muhammad. We very clearly assert that whosoever married more than once was against Vedas in this aspect of life. It does not matter whom you name. But will Zakir Naik be bold enough to assert that if a Prophet married more than once, or a scripture suggests polygamy, then they are wrong? • I liked your desperate innocence hidden in your words “why can’t we Muslims have four”! But I pray to Allah not to give such innocence to Hindus, who could then be ready to attack Muslim nations with the logic that when Muslims could invade our land, kill our ancestors, converted them forcefully, rape the women, loot the temple, desecrate our idols, why can’t we attack Kaba or Arab? • We have the courage to reject the deeds/stories written in any of the book no matter whosoever is claimed to have done/written that, do you have same courage? After knowing that according to Sahih Hadith and Quran cited by you, the prophet married and played with a 6-year-old baby, had sex with 9-year old, married more than ten times, kept sex slaves which in the civilized world is equivalent to rape, do 72

Rape Women, Get Heaven you reject the SAHIH Hadith and Verses of Quran related to sex slavery, pedophilia, and rape? Scholars like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and Dr Ghulam Jilani rejected and faced tremendous threats to life.

Claim 4: Jewish scriptures and Bible permit polygamy Jewish scriptures and Christian Bible give permission to marry as many times as you wish. Abraham had three wives; Solomon had 700 wives. Agniveer: • The scriptures of Jews and Christians which Zakir Naik is complaining about not putting a restriction on a number of wives were sent by SAME ALLAH who sent Quran! Was it wrong earlier or now? • If Zakir argues that Allah modifies His word because of evolution of human mind, and thus “no restriction” in previous books was according to the people of that time and “restriction” in Quran is correct for now, then why is He trying to establish supremacy of one text on the other which are not comparable at all? Also, why does not Allah send a new revelation when Quranic lifestyle is grossly outdated today and we live in a digital world? • Solomon, who had 700 wives, was a messenger of Allah as per Quran! So how giving an example of Solomon’s 700 marriages can help Zakir Naik prove Islam better than Judaism or Christianity when Solomon was the prophet of Islam according to Zakir Naik? [Please note that as per

73

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist Zakir Naik, Islam came to the world at the inception of humans with Adam, and all the messengers of Allah were prophets of Islam!]

Claim 5: Hindu law and not Hinduism is monogamy According to Hindu scriptures you can marry as many times you wish, it is Indian government which passed the special law- Hindu special marriage act according to which Hindu should marry only one. Agniveer: Please see section 2 of the chapter to know what Vedas have to say about polygamy. • Can we ask how could Indian government pass the special law for monogamy for Hindus so easily if Hindus or Hindu scriptures were the fans of polygamy? • Can we ask how could not Indian government pass the special law for monogamy for Muslims till date if Muslims or Muslim scriptures are the only supporters of the concept of “marry only one” on the face of the earth? • Who proposed this law of strict monogamy for Hindus in India? Hindus themselves! It only means that Hindus did/ do not take the stories of polygamy in their history books seriously, and they were/are firm believers of the Vedic teaching of monogamy by heart. All the great legends of Hinduism, whom many Hindus consider to be their role models, were purely monogamous or Brahmachari- Vishnu, Shankar, Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, Shatrughan, Hanuman, 74

Rape Women, Get Heaven and Krishna. • At the same time, no Muslim has ever proposed monogamy law for Muslims in spite of the fact that Muslims are the only believers of “marry only one” on the face of the earth as per Zakir Bhai! Strange!

Claim 6: There are more females in the world than males Female children are more than the male children. There are more females in the world than males. Thus polygamy is the only solution. Agniveer: • Wrong! No country in the world has more female children than male children up to the age of 15 years! For most of the countries, male to female ratio is greater than one along with very few where this ratio is equal to 1. [Reference: Central Intelligence Agency] • Zakir Bhai is again wrong on the population of females more than that of males in the world. Here are the actual figures for world sex ratio according to which there are more males in the world than females. [Reference: Central Intelligence Agency] Sex ratio at birth: 1.07 male(s)/female Under 15 years: 1.07 male(s)/female 15-64 years: 1.02 male(s)/female

75

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist 65 years and over: 0.79 male(s)/female Total population: 1.01 male(s)/female (2011 est.) This data shows that Zakir Naik is misleading his semi-literate followers by giving them fake numbers which they can’t cross check or even analyze in the absence of basic knowledge of mathematics and statistics. [Our foremost priority towards helping Muslim Ummah is to convince Mullahs governing Madarsa chains throughout India, to include subjects like mathematics and statistics in Madarsa curriculum that will help Madrasa graduates discover more dimensions to explore, which, till now, has been restricted to parroting Arabic literature 24x7 devoid of any maths or analytical thinking therein.] Now when it is proven that males are actually more than the females worldwide, will Zakir Bhai MBBS recommend polyandry by sticking to the same logic of numbers? Interestingly, Zakir’s claim of more women than men only befits the age group of 65 years and above, in which no one marries! Perhaps Zakir seems to be providing a solution to the people who don’t have any problem in the first place! We advise Zakir to think about other issues related to Grandmas in their seventies such as their nourishment and caring instead of marriage!

Claim 7: In West, there are more females than males In USA, UK, Germany, there are 7.8, 4, 5 million more females than males respectively. So the only option for these extra women, who are left unmatched after the “market is saturated”, is to marry to already married males or become “public property”.

76

Rape Women, Get Heaven Agniveer: Mullah Zakir at his best! He is exposed again in front of the world that he and his Islam thinks of a woman as property, when married it is called- Personal property and when can’t be married it is called- Public property! Later is better called as a slave or righthand possession in the terminologies of Quran that can be raped, sold, purchased, and beaten anytime when the master wills as mentioned in Quran and Hadith of Zakir! Exactly what ISIS does. Being a non-practicing medical undergraduate, Zakir is not aware of statistical techniques required to infer the useful information from data like the census. He is unaware of the fact that demographic data is analyzed using ratios and not absolute numbers. That is why we talk of sex ratio. Errors of just 5 to 10% in the census (which is quite common) can roughly lead to 15 million more males than females or vice versa for the United States alone with a total population of around 30 Crore! Now imagine how wise of Zakir to come up with the idiotic justification of polygamy because his census confirms 7 million more females than males in the US! Only God knows how much error Zakir’s data has whose source is best known to him alone! Let’s assume for the sake of argument that Zakir’s data has been directly sent down by all-knowing God from the seventh heaven! Now we have, according to Zakir Naik, 7 million more females than males who are on the verge of becoming public property! Imagine, just 15% males of America start taking Quran [4:3] seriously and think that they are capable enough to give justice to multiple wives! Keeping in mind Allah’s words of [4:3]- “Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four”, 5% of American males marry twice, 5% marry thrice and remaining 5% marry four 77

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist times. [rest 85% don’t consider themselves capable of dealing with multiple wives justly and hence are happy to get one wife]. Let us assume the US to have a 30 Crore population, of which 14.5 Crore is male and remaining 15.5 Crore is female (I have eased Zakir by increasing surplus female population of US from 7 million to 10 million)! Now see, 15% of US males (2.175 Crore) have engaged with 42% of US females (6.525 Crore)! So rest 12.325 Crore males of US are left with 8.975 Crore females leading to 3.35 Million US males turning to Gigolos or gays in the absence of female counterparts! Perhaps, in that case, God will be forced to send a new revelation on Zakir Naik which will allow polyandry to deal with the situation! When the result of taking the verse [4:3] seriously only by 15% of US males can lead to such disaster, how can such teaching be for whole humanity? As always, in this claim too, Zakir has lied again by giving wrong figures from the unknown census. Here we give the sex ratios corresponding to the age group 15-64 Years which includes all males and females of marriageable state for the four countries Zakir mentioned In USA: 1 male(s)/female In UK: 1.03 male(s)/female In Germany: 1.04 male(s)/female [Reference: Central Intelligence Agency]

78

Rape Women, Get Heaven Thus, the data used by Zakir Naik was simply copied from Ahmad Deedat’s speech and is completely wrong. If these Mullahs had taken facts, logic, and evidence seriously, how could have Osama ruined the world sitting in Islamabad! What solution does Zakir Naik have for the actual scenario of the world in which we have 70 Million surplus males than females falling in 15-65 age-group? Finally, I ask Zakir Naik, if we assume his data is correct then his logic says that 7 Million women in the US alone will become public property. Has he heard of any woman becoming public property because she could not find a groom till now? If no, why? Is your data wrong or logic or both?

Claim 8: India has more males because of female feticide India has more males because of female feticide and infanticide, and if this evil practice stops, India too will have more number of females than males. Agniveer: • Agreed with the fact that female feticide is to be stopped at any cost but we don’t agree with Zakir’s motivation behind it. He dreams of having more females so that he can encourage people to practice polygamy as per Quran! But we believe that a female has an equal right to exist as her male counterpart and should come to the earth to live dignified and prosperous life. • By the way, India is the land of Kafirs (Dar ul-Harb), so it may not match Islamic standard census where women out79

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist number men hugely! But I wonder what happens in Islamic countries actually! Here are the sex ratios for prominent Islamic countries for age group 15-64 years Afghanistan: 1.05 male(s)/female Qatar: 2.44 male(s)/female Saudi Arab: 1.27 male(s)/female Bangladesh: 0.89 male(s)/female Pakistan: 1.09 male(s)/female Iran: 1.02 male(s)/female Iraq: 1.03 male(s)/female Indonesia: 1.01 male(s)/female Kuwait: 1.79 male(s)/female Except Bangladesh, every prominent Islamic country has millions of males who will not find partners as per Zakir’s logic! And Bangladesh has been demanding to become secular instead of Islamic! That is why Dhaka attacks happened. How will Quran solve this problem which exists even in the chosen land of Allah- Arab?

Claim 9: More males die than females in war More males die in accidents, war, and due to consuming alcohol than females. Thus females are more and males are less.

80

Rape Women, Get Heaven Agniveer: “More females than males” argument is factually wrong as has been proved above. Now look at another trick of Zakir Bhai MBBS! He blames the unfortunate practices like female feticide for the lower number of females in India and he hopes that this practice stops so that women outnumber men and the divine practice of polygamy starts in India too. But at the same time, he argues that since many males die due to war, alcohol and accidents, polygamy should be allowed! Now this is heads I win tails you lose situation for him! He blames one unfortunate practice as unnatural and causing imbalance whereas makes other unfortunate occurring like war, accidents, and alcohol as the foundation for practicing polygamy! What if I say that it is because wars, alcohol, and accidents that males are less. And if these don’t occur through prosperity and peace, men will be more and thus polygamy should not be allowed! If he prays Allah against female feticide, why does not he do same for war, alcohol and accident that these also should never happen? Or does he believe that it is his religious duty to continue engaging India in wars and terror-attacks by nurturing Jihadis? Imagine rule of Islam has been established as per Zakir Naik’s wish in the whole world. Now there are no engine vehicles (all advancements of science will doom as the Kafir inventors of technologies will remain no more), only camels and donkeys for transportation, so no accidents! Islamic rule- no war because a Muslim can not fight another Muslim as per Quran, and no alcohol because Islam prohibits it. So no accident, no war, no alcohol, so surplus males stop dying and thus males will be more than females. What will be done now? Or is it that alcohol, war, and accidents are

81

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist necessary to keep women more than men always so that the divine practice of polygamy can continue in an unperturbed manner? That’s great anyway! Wage war on non-believers (as mentioned in Quran 9:5 and 9:29), kill all the men, take away the women as slaves and then argue- since men are killed in wars, women should be distributed among other men so that they can find partners! This is Islamic solution to the problem- first, kill the men of other women and then like an angel seduce her with sword in hand Hey! Marry me as I don’t want to see you become public property! And if you don’t, I will behead you for insulting Allah. This is exactly what ISIS is doing with Yezid women?

Claim 10: In Islam, polygamy protects the modesty of woman In Islam, the second wife has equal rights as the first wife. Polygamy is to protect the modesty of woman not to degrade her. Agniveer: With this, we agree completely! The second wife has exactly equal rights as the first wife. She will be treated as half intelligent just like the first wife. [Please refer Sahih Bukhari]. She will have all rights to read Quran and pray to Allah except for the days of her menses. During that time she will not be allowed to touch Quran. She will not be allowed to pray to Allah just like the first wife. She will remain wife of the husband just like the first wife until he calls Talaaq three times. She will have all rights to welcome the third wife just as the first wife welcomed her. I want to add that third wife will also have same rights as first two. But alas! The fourth wife will not have enjoyed equal rights.

82

Rape Women, Get Heaven She will not get any opportunity to welcome the fifth wife because Islam only allows up to four wives! But wait! All is not lost! The fourth wife will have the opportunity to welcome innumerable concubines which her husband’s right hand possesses. So this way polygamy protects the modesty of a woman and upgrades her is just like raping a slave girl upgrades her and stops her becoming public property. This was our analysis of the glorious and divine practice of polygamy which Allah has assigned only for those who can deal justly. Though one may ask if is it trait of noble or a perverted man who is not satisfied with his devoted wife and desires more women? But as we know, Allah knows the best. We end this with a Hadith Sahih Bukhari 5.58.166: Narrated `Aisha: I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija though I did not see her, but the Prophet used to mention her very often… When I sometimes said to him, “(You treat Khadija in such a way) as if there is no woman on earth except Khadija,” he would say, “Khadija was such−and−such, and from her, I had children.” This Hadith is narrated by Aisha, beloved wife of Muhammad and mother of believers. Now imagine- the blessed wife of the best man ever born- Muhammad used to feel jealous of other wives because of unequal treatment. Just think, when even prophet could not deal justly with his multiple wives, how can you and I expect to do the same?

83

CHAPTER 8

WHY MUSLIMS HATE ZAKIR NAIK SO MUCH?

Z

akir Bhai MBBS aka Dr. Zakir Naik has been among the most hated public figures of today. Deoband recently issued a fatwa against him. There is no doubt that Zakir Bhai is among the most smartly marketed religious celebrity of last few years. He claims to represent and propagate Islam. He considers himself a servant of Muhammad (PBUH). Yet it is the Muslims and Islamic clerics who hate Zakir Naik the most. In this chapter, we shall briefly list out reasons why Muslims hate Zakir Naik so much that many claim that he would be the first person to enter

84

Why Muslims Hate Zakir Naik So Much? Dozakh.

Background – 72 Muslim sects Let us provide a brief background. Most people consider Islam to be the religion propagated by Prophet Muhammad and narrated in Quran. On the surface, it appears all so simple. Quran proclaims that one who submits to the word of final messenger of Allah shall achieve Heaven. But things are not so simple for a layman, and even a scholar. Because while there is only one Quran and one Prophet Muhammad, there is tremendous variety in the types of interpretations that so-called Muslims make out of this book and this great social- reformer. In short, Islam is not as monolithic as it appears to be. The number of sects in Islam is more than 72, and they are as different from each other as dry is from wet and cold is from hot. All these sects have different customs, different levels of tolerances for non-Muslims, different food habits, different interpretations of Quran, different level of importance given to Muhammad and his associates and different descriptions of Heaven and Hell. The Shia-Sunni war is clearly known. What makes the things even more confusing is the belief of these more than 72 Sects. Only one is on the path of truth and hence only one will go to Heaven. Rest of the sects will go to Hell. Thus, it is not sufficient to just be a Muslim to achieve Heaven; you need to follow only the right sect. Now each sect fights to prove that they are the genuine sect. Some sects are liberal enough to allow even non-Muslims to Heaven. Some Muslims are even promoters of vegetarianism. Some consider nation ahead of everything else. But there are some who believe that all except those who fully believe in their sect and its practices without questioning 85

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist anything, alone will go to Heaven. Rest of all will be in Hell forever.

Zakir Naik’s Wahabi sect – The most fanatic Among the most fanatic of these cults is the Wahabi cult. This is supposed to be the producer of the largest number of terrorists including ISIS, Osama, Al Qaeda since its inception in the 18th century and has been a cause of disgrace for rest of the peace-loving Muslims. Dr. Zakir Naik belongs to this Wahabi cult, believes that only this Wahabi version of Islam can bring anyone close to Heaven, and rest of all will go to Hell. And things are not as simple. Further, he mixes his Wahabism with material from other scholars of different sects to create his own Zakirism that in the process blatantly insults and disgraces the vision of Islam as per other sects, including the more tolerant ones.

Zakir Naik humiliated Wahabis Zakirism goes to such extent that he does not even spare Wahabis from humiliations. Zakir Naik claims to be an expert on comparative religions. In his site, he has put lots of articles on comparative religions under his name. But in reality, they are merely a word to word copy of texts from Qadiyani/Ahmadiyya sources. So what is wrong if one refers to Qadiyani or Ahmadiyya sources? Perhaps nothing, except that: Qadiyanis/ Ahmadiyyas are considered Kafirs and they are prosecuted by most Muslims for their radical beliefs. Wahabis have been greatest enemies of Qadiyanis The content of the Qadiyani writings that Zakir Naik has swin-

86

Why Muslims Hate Zakir Naik So Much? dled under his own name are blatantly against core beliefs of rest of the Muslims including Wahabis. For example, Zakir Bhai MBBS tries to prove that Vedas prophecize about Muhammad. (This has been completely refuted in another book by Agniveer) Now this belief gels with the Qadiyani belief that Vedas were also revelations. But Wahabis and other sects refuse to believe so. Hence even Zakir Bhai MBBS writes in another article that he is not sure if Vedas are revelations. He conveniently forgets that he himself has proved that Vedas reveal Muhammad in another article! (Perhaps because he forgot to read it before asking his henchmen to copy from Qadiyani book and paste under his name on his site and in books.) In summary, Zakir Bhai continues to use Qadiyani sources to show his scholarly capabilities but refuses to accept Qadiyanis as Muslims because he claims to be Wahabi and is funded by Wahabi militants. Or is he a Qadiyani spy in Wahabi disguise? Only Zakir Bhai knows the reality, but his acts suffice to invite hatred of Qadiyanis as well as other Muslim sects.

Progressive Muslims hates Zakir Naik Zakir Bhai justifies non-vegetarianism as a scientific Islamic trait. While he does acknowledge that even a Muslim can be vegetarian, he attempts to justify meat-eating on crazy arguments including research by some farmers. (Agniveer has already busted this lie in another book). This catches ire of several progressive Muslims, who refuse to believe that meat-eating has any association with religion. Many progressive Muslims have even started a Muslim Vegetarian Society that is among the most powerful protagonists of Vegetarianism and opponents of Halal meat. They have severely condemned Zakir Naik and his spurious research for disgracing 87

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist Islam to justify the lust of his own tongue.

Deoband issued a fatwa against Zakir Naik Being a Wahabi he has a soft corner for Osama Bin Laden. When someone questioned him on his views on Osama, he replied that he admires him because he has terrorized America! He shied away from criticizing terrorist activities of Osama. This created a lot of furor among Muslims and Deobandi even issues a Fatwa against Zakir Bhai for his tacit support for Osama Bin Laden. Reasons are obvious -- the money that funds Osama and money that funds Zakir Bhai have allegedly the same sources. Many terrorists caught in recent times involving the ones of Dhaka attacks, Chief of Hyderabad ISIS Module, first Indian ISIS fighter Areeb Majeed have allegedly accredited Zakir Naik to be their inspiration.

Devout Muslim hates Zakir Naik for wearing Kafir dress code While on the surface, he claims to be a conservative Muslim; he wears a non-Islamic dress which as per Islamic hadiths would lead one to be treated as a non-Muslim during Judgment Day. Many devout Muslims thus consider their dress very seriously and hate Dr. Zakir Naik for setting wrong examples by wearing Kafir dress of tie, suit, and coat. Zakir Naik teaches fanaticism to others but himself adopts conveniences as per his own will. Sufis and graves worshipers hate Zakir Naik Wahabis have destroyed many Sufi shrines and the even house of Prophet Muhammad because they believe these to be signs of idol worship. They killed many Muslim men, women, and children

88

Why Muslims Hate Zakir Naik So Much? in their campaigns to destroy tombs and holy places. In the same footsteps, Zakir Naik severely condemns these practices to be anti-Muslim and hence is hated by those who worship graves, Sufis and tombs.

Shias hate Zakir Naik Shias obviously have a reason to hate Zakir Bhai MBBS because of his staunch anti-Shia stance, being a Wahabi. But his admiration of Yazeed, considered to be the culprit for the massacre of Prophet’s family in Karbala has been a strong point of contention for other Muslims. So much is the hatred against Yazeed that many people curse by the name of Yazeed. But Zakir Naik respects Yazeed in same way as Prophet Muhammad by stating ‘Peace be Upon Him’ after his name. This PBUH is restricted only for the most revered people in Islam.

Progressive Muslims hates Zakir Naik for his ultra-fanaticism Zakir justifies the ban on the worship of other religions in Muslim countries. He however also justifies that Muslims should be allowed in other countries to promote their religion. The logic is curious -- as per Zakir Bhai, in matters of religion, Muslims are the best. So they should be allowed everywhere -- Muslim or non-Muslim countries. But non-Muslims should not be allowed to build places of worship in Muslim countries because their religions are inferior to Islam! Such ultra-fanaticism irks the most progressive Muslims, who want to integrate with rest of the world and rise above religious dogmas and hatred.

89

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist

Muslims hate him for being ultra-conservative Being an ultra-conservative, he propagates that despite a person being as much good or noble, unless he unconditionally accepts his version of Islam, he will go to Hell and Hell alone and forever. This goes against beliefs of more progressive Muslims, who believe that all who act with genuineness, regardless of their religion will go to Heaven and not Hell.

Muslim women hate Zakir Naik Muslim women obviously have all the reasons to hate Zakir Bhai because in the name of pseudo-science he is simply restricting their freedom that has been ordained by the Creator. For example, he states that Muslim women should always wear Hijab and Burqa and cover their entire body always. Medical researchers are worried that such unreasonable practices cause dreaded diseases due to lack of Vitamin D in Muslim countries which enforce such beliefs on women. More liberal Muslims see such insistence as dangerous dogma harming the cause of Muslims and Human Rights. He further states that Muslim women should not work in offices because they may have a chance to be alone with men even for a second. The only men that a woman is allowed to be alone with are her husband and those who have suckled her. Taking this crazy dogma of Zakir Bhai further, the Head of Hadith Department of the most reputed university of Islam in the world recently issued a fatwa that Muslim women should allow their male colleagues to suckle their breasts five times. This will allow them to work with these men, even when alone. Because after this, they will be like mothers to them! Zakir Bhai debars women from being any doctor except gyne90

Why Muslims Hate Zakir Naik So Much? cologists because that is haram as per his version of Islam. Women should not take part in sports as well! He further defends polygamy by furnishing false data on population but disallows polyandry. He justifies the belief that women are less intelligent than men, and hence evidence of two women equal that of one man! He thus also justifies that women cannot inherit equally to their male counterparts! No wonder, he agrees to the dogma that to prove rape, a woman should bring an ample number of witnesses who have witnessed actual penetration!

Wahabis calls Zakir Naik a Shaitan The list of people who hate Zakir Naik can go on and on. So much that now even Wahabis have started calling Zakir Bhai a Shaitan. Other sects who do not receive as much funding as Osama or Zakir Naik try tooth and nail to debunk his fraud through all means. They are even more upset by the fact that Zakir Naik does not even know how to read Arabic and merely imitates Ahmed Deedat, another preacher considered deviant by many scholars.

Conclusion The process of seeking truth demands process of elimination. One may not be sure and continue to debate on which of the 72 or more sects of Islam would lead one to Heaven, or whether Quran itself is the authentic Quran and not the new Quran as 91

Every Muslim is NOT a Terrorist created recently. One may not be sure whether a permanent Hell or Heaven or Angels or Genies exist in first place. One may doubt if Muhammad was a great non-divine social -reformer or actually a Messenger of Allah’s word. One can debate if Quran deserves to be the final word of Allah and what should be its interpretation. Or what new good concept Quran provides that was not present in previous books. But one fact is sure. There is not even a scope for debate Certain persons should be out-rightly banished to Hell or hell-like place for the benefit of rest of the peaceful, civilized society. They include: • people who dare not condemn terrorists like Osama Bin Laden. And instead say “Every Muslim should be a terrorist”. “Every Muslim must terrorize America.” • people who consider that all except their sect will burn in permanent Hell despite how-so-much good they do in their lives • people who cannot tolerate others but want themselves to be tolerated everywhere • people who believe that women are inferior or bereft of intelligence • people who justify inferior rights and curtailment of freedom for women • people who refuse to change their stands despite the presence of factual information proving the opposite • people who do not clear their stand and purely use material

Why Muslims Hate Zakir Naik So Much? prepared by someone else to claim scholar status for self and yet condemn the source Such terrorism sympathizers are a threat to any civilized society. Progressive and even conservative Muslims have shown the right way by criticizing Zakir Naik so severely. The first and foremost religion of humans is humanity. The way noble-minded Muslims have shown courage and mettle to condemn the dangerous frauds of Zakir Naik that are detrimental to entire humanity is warmly welcomed. Such steps in right direction pave the way for right direction for seekers of true knowledge.

ABOUT AGNIVEER Agniveer was founded by Shri Sanjeev Newar, an IIT-IIM professional, data scientist, and Yogi to provide a solution-oriented, spiritually driven, and honest approach to improving the world within and outside an individual. Agniveer specializes in practical applications of timeless wisdom of Vedas, Geeta, and Yoga to address the contemporary challenges of life. Thousands of testimonials of transformation - from people who were on verge of committing suicide, fighting depression, confused about life, directionless, unable to address social injustice around - attest the massive change it has been able to bring. Agniveer takes credit in bringing several ignored, uncomfortable but critical issues to public attention. Agniveer is the leading advocate of social equality in India and pioneer of ‘Dalit Yajna’ initiative to break caste and gender barriers. Agniveer spearheaded the Muslim women rights campaign facing severe backlash from conservative and fanatic elements. Yet, it was successful in bringing details of disgusting practices like Halala, sex-slavery, polygamy, triple talaq and love jihad to limelight and evolving a consensus against them. Agniveer women helpline deals with such cases and has brought many smiles. Agniveer also introduced the concept of unarmed combat workshops across sensitive parts of country to create a skilled team that is able to defend vulnerable from criminals. Agniveer is a prominent champion of de-radicalization and has brought innumerable youth to join the mainstream path. Agniveer’s narrative on history has created a significant momentum to question the authenticity of populist history taught out of political compulsions. 94
