Dr. Zakir Naik

A Massive conference scheduled to be held recently, got a blow after learning that its Ace speaker and star performer, Dr. Zakir Naik has been denied visa to Canada. This news comes just after few days of UK government banning the entry of Dr Naik.

Dr Zakir Naik has been termed by the world media as a popular TV evangelist, who runs the popular religious channel by the name “Peace TV”. He is also the founder president of Islamic Research foundation in Mumbai, India.

Earlier this week, UK’s home secretary had issued a ban on Dr. Zakir Naik’s entry into UK based on few statements which have been misinterpreted by the people. Dr. Zakir Naik’s speeches have been widely misquoted which eventually costed him visa denials from various countries. However, Dr. Naik is challenging these bans in the high court.

Previously, Canada had banned several renowned Islamic speakers from attending the conferences and programs held in various parts of it.

This latest ban on Dr Naik has added more fuel to the ongoing protests by Muslims around the world against the UK ban.
