viewers through the popular satellite station he runs, Peace
TV. This station features regular lectures by Naik, imams,
and others who focus on the study of Islam, including
several Americans.1 Peace TV also broadcasts chat shows,
Arabic lessons, and youth programming in English and in
Urdu. Naik’s lectures are also easily accessible on the
Internet.”

made personal appearances in numerous countries

“Profile of Zakir Naik: Controversial Islamic Orator With Influence in the West”
By Madeleine Gruen
SNIPPET: “While Naik is regarded as controversial by many observers and several government agencies (he has been banned from entering Canada and the UK), he does not publicly or overtly promote violent jihad. However, he bears observation because he insinuates that violence perpetrated against Americans is acceptable, and he has made statements that suggest he is in agreement with terrorist attacks that have taken place in the past.”
