ZAKIR Naik, who has just been barred from the UK, is a blithering idiot who fancies himself as a bit of a smart-arse. A glance at any of his many “lectures” on YouTube will confirm that he has the intellect of an artichoke.
He is also known for his inflammatory pronouncements against infidels in general and Jews in particular. The posturing nincompoop supports violent jihad – but what he says can be heard any Friday at most mosques in the UK. This sort of recycled rhetoric goes with the territory.
Zakir Naik, who once declared pigs 'shameless' after studying their sex lives
In the grand scheme of things, Naik is small potatoes compared to Herr Ratzinger, head of an international paedophile ring whose obstruction of justice on a global scale is best summed up by Christopher Hitchens here.
Naik, as far as I know, has never parked his tanks on the lawns of democratically-elected foreign governments, demanding they submit down to his will. The Pope has – on numerous occasions. Naik has never actively promoted the spread of AIDs through the condemnation of condom use. The Pope has ÂÂ – and continues to do so without let or hindrance.
And while Naik may support the execution of gays, his attempts at whipping up world-wide homophobia carry nowhere as much influence as that of Ratzinger’s, who only last year trumpeted that saving the world from homosexual behaviour was as important as saving the rainforests.
In the same month the Vatican opposed a proposed UN declaration, backed by all 27 European Union states, calling for an end to the practice of criminalising and punishing people for their sexual orientation.
Since then he has vilified gays on numerous occasions, and will no doubt do so again when his obscene, over-budgeted visit to the UK comes to fruition in September.
The National Secular Society points out that Ratzinger has been invited, during his September visit
To lecture the British people about ‘the family’ – which, in Vatican-speak will mean another attack on gay rights. The Tablet magazine reveals that Lord Patten — who has been put in charge of trying to get the chaotic visit back on track — is ‘enthused’ about it all.
Pope Ratzinger, head of an international paedophile ring
Asks the NSS:
But exactly what business does a foreign head of state have coming to this country telling us how to run our affairs? … When the Vatican talks of ‘the family’ it is, at least partly, code for homophobic prejudice. Wherever he goes the Pope attacks gay people and tries to persuade governments to deny or remove their rights. He did it in Portugal recently and in Spain before that. He has done it in Italy. It is sickening that we are paying hundreds of millions for him to come and do the same to gay people here.
Naik may be an imbecile, but it was never suggested that taxpayers’ would foot the bill for his planned visit to the UK.
Pass the Febreze – there is an overwhelming stench of hypocrisy here.
By the way, the BBC reports that Naik is challenging the ban in the High Court.

Is there a photo anywhere on’t interweb where ratslinger doesn’t look like the twisted, evil, bastard that he is?

I think he needs a better photographer and a better PR man (couldn’t be a woman could it

It looks in that photo like he’s had his fingers burnt, surely not?

If nothing else, at least now Bill Donohue won’t be able to whine that the Catlicks are being persecuted while the Muslins get special treatment.

usual double standards. at least wasn’t expecting the british taxpayer to pick up the tab for his visit.

“Is there a photo anywhere on’t interweb where ratslinger doesn’t look like the twisted, evil, bastard that he is?”
It is not just the internet, or the fact that the people putting up the pictures dont like him.
I had reason to visit the local Catholic School and there was a large picture of the PaedoProtector in the Assembly Hall. And even in that environment they could not manage to find a picture where he did not look evil.

How is it that this impotent old man, who has never slept with a woman in his life and who has never fathered a child, nor saved one from a pedophile, is considered to be some sort of an expert on family matters?
I hope some pigeon shits on his hat.

Homosexuals do not procreate. Overpopulation is killing the planet. That is all.

I hope Ratzi gets arrested when he visits your country. He deserves to die in a prison hospital, not a lavish Vatican palace.

Let us pray for bird shit. Not Mr Green. Just bird shit.
Cloaca be thy name
On hats: Mr Naik, can I have fried onions on my hotdog please?
And what’s with the beard? As a beardy-weirdy myself I’m attuned to such matters. That’s what’s known as a Mennonite.
It’s the chin version of a basin cut hairstyle. Nothing screams congenital idiot more loudly than a chin-strap and nude chin combination. Well maybe that with a hot-dog hat.

I wrote to my MP protesting about the islamofascist Naik. He agreed the guy was a nasty piece of work.

My mother used to quote an old catholic anecdote. The bishop came to a church in a very poor area to give a special sermon on marriage and family life. Afterwards, an bowed woman, old before her time, was heard to mutter. ‘I wish to God I knew so little about it’
June 20th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
I think that the reason for the double standards is that Naik comes straight out with his idiotic hate speech and tells us in plain language what he thinks. Ratty, on the other hand couches his idiotic hate speech in weasely double talk and the powers that be are fooled by it.

This is a big surprise!
THE Muslim Council of Britain has denounced the decision to ban Dr Zakir Naik from the UK ahead of a peace conference in Wembley.
In a statement, the council, a leading voice in the Islamic community, said it “deplores†Mrs May’s decision and described Dr Naik as a “renowned Indian mainstream Islamic scholarâ€.
It said: “The Home Secretary’s action serves to demonise the very voices within the world ready for debate and discussion.
“The tour would have been a golden opportunity for young Muslims who are eager to hear the true messages of Islam which promote understanding between communities.â€
And pigs might fly!!

@ Harry
Overpopulation is killing the planet because the poor are deprived of birth control methods or brainwashed by religions nonsense.
I have nothing against homosexuals but i don’t think they should feel self righteous simply because they don’t procreate. Where would they be if their parents hadn’t?
June 20th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Zakir Naik, who looks a bit like someone you’d expect in a sitcom with a seriously deluded muslim neighbour (like Ned Flanders), or Joe Ratzinger who’s done more harm so far than Zakir? Time to come with one rule of thumb for religious zealots who want to come and spread their words of wisdom. Both of these men are sure to disparage one group or another, as soon as they open their mouth, so for the sake of community cohesion (lovely expression), ban both of them.
June 20th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Check out that pic of ratz. Has he had a small penis grafted onto his left hand in place of his thumb? That would be very handy for sticking it up his own ass without chancing getting caught with a rent boy, or an altar boy.
June 20th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Har Davids: Isn’t it rather strange that if you are a political leader, like Nick Griffin, for example, and hold completely unacceptable views, you are treated as a pariah, yet religious leaders like Ratzinger, who espouse primitive, misogynistic, homophobic and barbaric views, have the red carpet rolled out for them because those are their “sincerely held beliefs”!
June 20th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
One rule for us and one rule for those who are wicked.
I believe that if all of us are going to have to face higher taxes from this government then we should rebel if we are having to pay millions for this man called the pope to visit our country. WHy should the poor support this man when he has done nothing for the poor of the World, or around him in Rome.
I will be ashamed of this country if he is allowed to come to visit and promote his evil doctrines without us going out on the streets, blowing horns of course, to show him that he is not welcome here,and we would like a refund for the money spent on him. Lets RALLY.
