Its not.Blaspheme is a different thing altogether.
If I did not believe others to be false , I would not be believing in my own religion.
How can you make such a claim?Javed Akhtar is not a Muslim.
What a poor response. That lady asked an absolutely legit question but looks like Mr. Naik didn't had any answer and tried to bully that poor girl. It is hilarious that this guy has so many followers.
Hold on! Qu’ran has been edited ?
He has maintained that he gave up religion a very long time ago. He became an atheist.How can you make such a claim?
Tweet deleted, what was it about ?
who is he then? surely he is not Hindu either!Javed Akhtar is not a Muslim.
Everyone has every right to question anything unless one live in Hindutva India.

BTW, is Mr. Naik from Maharashtra? He is saying likhela hai, bolela hai which is Mumbai type hindi language..LOL.
Why not ?
What is making you so defensive ? When ISCKON people go around and give Gita to others , what they are trying to do?
This thread summaries why Muslims are behind Islamophobia.

They are idiots if they think like that. Every religion is same for respective people .They think questioning others religion is their right.
They think questioning others religion is their right.
If there were ever a textbook example of projection, this would certainly exemplify it.It’s actually much worse ... because if those that they question take the polite and classy route they construe that as a sign of weakness and further validation of their belief system. Because they are brainwashed into defending their religion with brute force even at the slightest sign of inquiry, scrutiny, or rational examination. This toxic mindset creates a vicious cycle where constructive dialogue is impossible. My way or highway.
lol.Bloody hell ... its quite disturbing to see that EVEN very very well educated people ( some who live in Western countries ) right here right now on THIS Very forum consider this dude as a intellectual ... and worse indulge in keyboard warfare defending this lowlife ?
If this guy is considered as an intellectual then I am Vivekananda + Plato + Aristotle + Confucius rolled into one with the articulation powers of Jordan Petersen. What the heck!!
It’s everyone’s right. Welcome to the earthThey think questioning others religion is their right.
They are idiots if they think like that. Every religion is same for respective people .
Muslims are love Islam , Hindu's are love Sanatan Dharm so on .. I'f anyone think that their religion is big or right then they are biggest Buffoon.
This is hate speech if they think like that.

If you read the posts, pakistanis think Hindus were afraid of Zakir Naiks knowledge of Hindu scriptures and were afraid to debate with him.
That's why he was banned.
They have the audacity to think that Hindus need to debate and prove to Zakir Naik about Sanatan.
Aye yo, Hindutva cult doesn’t want you y’all to question them.No it is not. World doesn't run as per Muslims.
and they will continue to believe that to be the case until and unless some blunt-in-your-face-and-obnoxious-Hindu comes around and brutally decimates Zakir. This is how they roll !
And they will even brag and ridicule us for not standing up and "debating" him. Even the educated ones. This pretty much sums up the overall mindset of most muslims.
No it is not. The meaning completely changes. Watch that video again. I have linked the timestamped link from ~45 mins into the link to save you time. Keep in mind the stringent criteria that not a single character in the quran has changed ( as per the hardcore believers right here in this thread ).

Define the line? Is questioning Hindutva on their bigotry consider crossing the line?Then when others will do the same to them, they will cry Islamophobia and then Sar tan se juda or someone will do a Charlie Hebdo.
They don't understand that Hindus don't give a damn about their views on Sanatan and if they cross the line, they will be put in their place.
Then why are you here and answeringWhy will any Hindu allow a Muslim to question Sanatan?
No one owes Muslims any answers.
If Hindutva were educated as they claim to be then they would have had the answer to what he said that required him to be banned?
And if the criterion is hate speech then why is Modi the PM of India
I believe ZN is an idiot but he has all the right to debate anyone he wishes too.
Then why are you here and answering
No Christian would ever say that their religion is a fact? Really?Words have meaning and they should be used as per their meaning.
A 'fact' is something that can be proved to be true by EVERYONE i.e an entity that can reproduced or observed to be true by anyone or in this case, proved to be true by both muslims and non-muslim.
Gravity is a fact because everybody experiences it. The Eiffel Towel is a fact because everybody can see that it exists.
'Islam is the one true religion' is only a claim (a belief), not a fact .. because it cannot proved to be true or observed to be true by everyone. A Christian would never say it is a fact that 'Jesus is the son of God', non-christans would laugh at him.
You have no right to deny anyone their inherited right but we get it you don’t have any other defense to your bigotryNo. ZN has no right to question other religions.
Modi is PM because people voted him. I understand this concept of democracy is not very clear to pakistanis.
ZN is banned in multiple countries.
Define the line? Is questioning Hindutva on their bigotry consider crossing the line?
No Christian would ever say that their religion is a fact? Really?
Of course not. It is defined by the action of bigotsBigotry isn't defined by the opinion of pakistanis.
It is a fact to those the adherents of it.Faith cannot be a fact.
facts are proven, when you cant prove something it wont be a fact and faith or religion can never be scientificcally proven.
Second thing is, you cannot go out around calling other peoples religion as false and your own as the truth. As again that creates disharmony
People who follow their religion consider it true. Otherwise they wouldn't follow it or are agnostic.Religion is called faith. You understand why.
I agree with you here. It's a poor argument by those making it.If you read the posts, pakistanis think Hindus were afraid of Zakir Naiks knowledge of Hindu scriptures and were afraid to debate with him.
That's why he was banned.

I have seen the video before making the comment
No Christian would ever say that their religion is a fact? Really?
Obviously not ... see the slides few seconds before and after this timestamp on that link below if pressed for time( It clearly shows the difference in translation of the different Qurans and how Saudi Arabia choose the current supposedly "Official" version )
Might want to watch the few mins prior to that timestamp say approx from 50 mins onwards.
People who follow their religion consider it true. Otherwise they wouldn't follow it or are agnostic.
I have no problem with it.
If they say that theirs is true and mines is false what harm will it do to me?
I agree with you here. It's a poor argument by those making it.
Zakir has no knowledge about Hinduism. He is studying it from a biased perspective and coming to conclusions alien to Hinduism.
To really study comparative religion you need to read it and study it from the lens of the followers of that religion...not from a biased perspective to try and match their belief to yours.
What Zakir does is cherry pick some Hindu books without any background knowledge or context. I think it's disrespectful and not serious scholarship.
Yes, Muslims, Christians, and Jews can go around saying Hinduism is a false ideology/religion because the Qur'an, Bible, and Torah are all very clear when it comes to Polytheistic religions and idol worshipping.Faith cannot be a fact.

This guy is a total clown and folks that supporting him here are just peddling his lies and falsehoods.

Sometimes u surprises me bro with these gems.sometimes u will keep rules same for all no matter what and u hate india/Indians wholeheartedly.Faith cannot be a fact.

You are not the only Hindu on social media , there are many who do debate and post and question others religion. So others will respond to that.Because you are nobody to question anyone's faith. While Muslims may think they have such a right, world doesn't run as per muslim faith.
I don't know if ISKCON goes around handing out Bhagwat Gita to people on the roads, if they do its not right.
He is an atheist , he has said this several times on record.who is he then? surely he is not Hindu either!
He has said it several times , in fact he debated with a hindu on the topic of existence of God. A discussion would be right word.How can you make such a claim?
Yes others are allowed to preach , my view is it is false.Its not.
You defend preaching religion to others and calling others religion false, but claim blasphemy different altogrther.
See you dont get to draw the line if you want to allow preaching and calling other peoples religion as false
When Zakir Naik debated Ravi Shankar , he knew the context better than me or you or others here , he should have exposed Zakir Naik right then and there , in front of every one. It would have settled the matter once and for all.I think we should never compare religions. This is not a competition.
I have never consciously insulted any religion or questioned anyone's belief in his faith.
Every religious text has to be read in context. People should understand its deeper meaning and not just the literal meaning.
He did not say atheist believe in the first part of Quran, he said they accept the first part of shahadah , That " There is NO God " What did he say wrong here ?This guy is a total clown and folks that supporting him here are just peddling his lies and falsehoods.
He’s got the most ridiculous takes that give off the impression of genius but are actually really dumb. For instance, one of his arguments for why all atheists are “half-Muslim” is because they accept the first part of the Quran: there is no god -pause- but Allah. Of course the masses gobble it up and it only encourages him to do more of these stupid and dangerous mental gymnastics
If I believed that your religion is true I would be following that .They can believe their religion is true.
But they can't tell someone that the other religion is false.
That's disrespectful.
its not a fact. No religion is a fact.It is a fact to those the adherents of it.
I don't see why people get so offended by it.
For example I will assume that @cricketjoshila and @uppercut will say for a fact that Ram was born in Ayodha.
Pope says Catholic creed is a fact.
What's the big deal if Zakir says Islam is a fact?

I think Islamic era of Prophet Muhammad and his Sahaba in a way preached that co existence piece of it. You can peacefully exist believing you are right and others are wrong. That’s difference of opinion and it exists everywhere. It’s the “action” based on the differences that should be discussed. Not the part about having a difference of opinion/faith/worshipping philosophy, etc.I will give you another possibility:
Accept that there could also be possibly correct and respect their views.
Which of those two thought processes is more amenable to a peaceful co-existence between various religions?

It’s not any different from history of other powerful faiths in the world. Paganism existed in Europe as well and Christianity has almost wiped it out.
Except that the facts don't support that as there is no such concept nor there is any track record to back that up. Just look at what happened to the various Jewish and Paagan tribes in the entire Arabian peninsula ( when the Quran was being revealed and soon after that ) ... they were pretty much wiped out in a matter of few decades. The template was set forth few years before 632AD. The same happened to the Zoroastrian's in neighboring Persia, and all of these are pretty well documented by Islamic historians. Go read your history it is one of humanity's most horrific chapters. There is no excuse for not knowing the correct facts in this day and age. READ !!

What you are whining about is not just distinctly a pattern with Muslims or Islam.
But you are free to look up and READ about the era I mentioned. Muslims always allowed non Muslims to live within their territories and to practice their faith. Everything else was done for political and existential reasons.
You need to first settle on what era you want to talk about. You started your usual rant and I mentioned going back to study the era of the Prophet. Now you want to talk about 2024.Except that in 2024 they don't go around fighting for Christian countries ( as opposed to islamic nations ).
This is JUST not true at all ( Certainly not in the medieval times ). At best these Non-Muslims were 2nd class citizens and invariably their best option to live in dignity was to convert. This is the Standard Islamic Template. The one and only region that resisted this dogmatically is Hinduism.
Even in the 21st century look at the pitiable state of minorities in Pak/BD/Afg.
You are preaching to everyone to read maybe you should read yourself. Here is a scholarly article. Non Muslims had rights under agreements and were never forced to convert. It’s even in the Quran that religion should not have any compulsion.Except that in 2024 they don't go around fighting for Christian countries ( as opposed to islamic nations ).

Kindly READ carefully!
Glad to be able to educate you and clear some of your confusion. You are welcome!
When you abide by legislative laws of a country and their constitution , or when you are a working in an institution or a company , we remain bound to them as well.The truth you beleive in will always be prisoner to a book and a lifetime of conditioning. So such statements despite giving an open-minded impression are quite meaningless brother.
Why do Pakistanis celebrate Muslim invaders who killed my Sikh Gurus and their children in name of forced conversion?Why do hindutwa justify Hitler II (Netanyahu) to massacre Thousands of innocent children and women
Of course not. It is defined by the action of bigots
You are not the only Hindu on social media , there are many who do debate and post and question others religion. So others will respond to that.
Isckon does that , and they believe they are doing right thing.
When Zakir Naik debated Ravi Shankar , he knew the context better than me or you or others here , he should have exposed Zakir Naik right then and there , in front of every one. It would have settled the matter once and for all.
If I believed that your religion is true I would be following that .
You and I both know the reason for the newly found love of Pakistanis for Zakir Naik.Like Zakir Naik and his followers.
