'Every Muslim should be a terrorist': Zakir Naik and six of his most provocative statements

Zakir Naik is in the eye of a storm after investigation agencies found two of the terrorists killed in the Dhaka terror attack had been influenced by the Mumbai-based Islamic preacher. Indian investigation agencies will now be examining his speeches for any potential threat to national security. However, Naik, who is the founder of Dubai-based Peace TV, is not new to controversies. In the past too, he has made many a statement during his sermons that created quite a flutter in India and across the world. His controversial speeches also led to him being banned from entering the United Kingdom. Here are six controversial statements from the tele-evangelist: On non-Muslims in Islamic states He is known for his knowledge in comparative religion, but has often been accused of being an Islamic supremacist.

On Osama bin Laden While the world condemned Osama and the 9/11 attacks, he chose to blame the US instead. However, Zakir Naik says he has been misquoted.
