A number of other authentic Islamic lecturers have been recently banned from the UK and other Western countries.
This is a very silly policy on the part of the UK and others, as it is we who are enlightening Muslims to the true teachings of Islam to warn them away from extremism and terrorism in the name of Islam. When they ban us, they leave a vacuum which the extremists will fill using what has happened to us as proof of the UK’s evil intent towards the Muslim community.
However, it is all good in the end for Allah will complete His guidance despite their hatred of it. As one of my students said, “Dr Zakir Naik and Peace TV will be the most googled items in the UK these days” – good publicity.
It is clear that the goal is to counter or stop the spread of Islamic awareness in general in the West. Their hopes for assimilation of Muslims are being dashed with the current Islamic awakening. Muslims will remain distinct, and not absorbed like all the other cultures which came and were conquered by the western globalized culture. It is an extension of the Clash of Civilizations concept which I developed in my book by that name.
It is part of the strategy that they prevent clarity from moderate external speakers and justify it with the internal extremists whom they allow to function. The clampdown all over Europe using the niqaab as the rallying point is all part of the bigger plan. But Islam cannot be defeated, it will prevail, as it is THE TRUE RELIGION OF GOD.

Salamualikum,
Sheikh Bilal Ismail also was banned from Canada last month for a course here. Subhanallah. Sheikh are you planning on comming back to Canada any time soon? Journey of Faith Conference?
Assalamu’alikum
Shaikh, I am closely involved with AlKauthar and i can confirm that Shaikh Bilal was NOT refused entry into the UK last month or prevously. This is incorrect. Also, AlKauthar is continuing with a mixture of local and International instructors as they have been for the past few years. Shaikh Bilal is scheduled to attend the UK next month Inshallah. And Allah knows best.
wa alaykum salaam. I was misinformed by some brothers from South Africa. I’ve corrected it on my blog as well as on facebook. At any rate, we’ll see what transpires when the time actually comes for him to go. He was banned from Canada. And that is a fact.
Another why reason Canada & Uk banned Zakir Naik is because he said: “The Jews will be enemies against the Muslims.” The Quran said this prediction 1400 years ago in Sura 5:82, which has come true. If this is the criteria to get banned in UK and Canada, according to the same logic, they would even have to banned every single Quran in the UK and Canada. Will they do it? No.
They have double standards here. They also banned Naik for unambiguously condeming terrorism against the innocent people; time and time again in his lectures. Example:

Now we know who the real terrorists are.
