Zakir Naik Is a Joke! (David Wood). Zakir Naik Challenged to Debate but he is a Coward - David Wood. Shallom,
Every day I get several messages from Muslims saying something like this, 'David you talk about Muhammad in front of your books, because you're too scared to say these things in front of zakir naik.'
To you, muslims, who think that Christian debaters are scared of Zakir Naik, i just like to ask, 'What color is the sky in your world?' Because here on planet reality Zakir Naik is a joke.
[Music]
Zakir Naik is a joke and I'm not saying that because I disagree with him. I'm saying it because he's a complete joke. Let me give you three quick reasons.
First, Zakir Naik portrays himself as a champion debater, but he's never faced one actual christian debater in his entire career.
Compared Naik with someone like Shabbir Ali. Shabbir Ali has debated William Lane Craig multiple times. He's debated James White multiple times. He's debated J Smith multiple times. He's debated Michael Licona multiple times. He's debated Tony Costa multiple times. Fe's debated me multiple times. He's debated Sam Shamoun, and Samuel Green, and Jonathan McClatchy and Nabeel Qureshi.
Shabbir Ali obviously isn't scared to face experienced Christian debaters. Look up Zakir Naik debate, and you'll find that he's debated a handful of people, you've never heard of. The only person Zakir Naik has ever debated that I've even heard of was William Campbell, and William Campbell wasn't a debater, he was a writer. Naik knew he wasn't a debater, that's why he agreed to debate him.
Naik only agrees to face people who either have no debate experience or know nothing about Islam. Those of us who debate regularly and who deal with Islam regularly, Naik won't come near us. And we've been challenging him for years. Here's a debate challenge we sent him 'more than' 8 years ago.
I've challenged him to debate. James White has challenged him to debate. Sam Shamoun has challenged him to debate. Nabeel Qureeshi has challenged him to debate. And do you know what he says, when we challenge him to debate? He says, 'You have to guarantee that you will show up to the debate with 10,000 people.' Now that's a strange demand. If you look at soccer nights other debates with Christian, they didn't have to bring 10,000 people to the debate.
And the two zakir naik debates I've clicked on there were only a couple hundred people in the audience. Why did Zakir Naik debate them?
I was recently watching one of Mike's Q&A; sessions and a Christian woman was at the mic, and Zakir Naik said that if she wanted to debate, they could set up a debate.
[argument]
Why was Zakir Naik trying to set up a debate with a random woman, who stepped up to a mic at a Q&A; session. By the way right after he challenged her to debate, he changed his mind and said that he refuses to debate women. Then he said that he would be happy to debate a religious scholar. But once again Naik didn't say anything about bringing 10,000 people to the debate. why does Zakir Naik 10,000 people rule only come into play when he's challenged by people who debate regularly?
If some local pastor no one's ever heard of agrees to face him suddenly Naik is ready to debate, even if the Pastor shows up with no one. This is the age of the internet millions of people can watch a debate online. Zakir Naik could have a debate with a Christian in a hotel room and people around the world could watch it.
Why does he selectively apply his ten thousand people rule, because he knows that in America most Christians have no idea who he is. So they're not going to come out by the thousands to see him debate. He knows that Christian debaters aren't going to rent the Superdome to face him, because we think he's a joke. So he made up a rule that he only applies to avoid actual debaters, why? Because he's a complete utter total coward, and he knows that his arguments would be destroyed by any experienced Christian debater.
And what do Muslims say when we point this out to them, 'Oh, Zakir Naik refuses to face you debaters, because you're beneath him.' Wait all of the actual debaters are beneath him, but the people he's debated most of whom no one's ever heard of? They were important enough for him to face?
How would we know who's beneath Zakir Naik, if he's never once stood on stage with an experienced debater? How would we know? Naik is like a guy who walks outside his house punches someone in the face and declares that he's the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, without ever facing any actual boxers, it's pathetic.
What's even more pathetic is that nice followers are so gullible. They think he's a serious debater. There are serious debaters in the world. Naik isn't one of them.
Second, Zakir Naik ministry pays people to convert to Islam. the Hindustan Times reports, 'The Special Branch of the Mumbai police claims that controversial Islamic preacher, Zakir Naik, and his nonprofit Islamic Research Foundation have illegally converted around 800 people to Islam by paying them using funds received from abroad. The allegation if proved could spell more trouble for Naik who is being investigated for his fiery speeches and alleged extremist links.'
Mumbai police found that Naik's organization paid converts fifty thousand rupees, some of which came from Saudi Arabia. Members of the organisation would then radicalize converts and convince them to join ISIS. For you Muslims who are thinking to yourself, 'No Zakir Naik would never do such a thing?' You should probably study the Quran and the life of your prophet because Muhammad himself paid people to convert to Islam. And one of the reasons you pay zakat is to pay people to convert to Islam.
Surah 9 verse 60 of the Quran lists the various uses of Zakat. One of the uses is to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined towards Islam. What does it mean to use Zakat funds to attract people's hearts. Muhammad shows us exactly what it means.
in Sahih Muslim number 6022, Muslims win the battle of hunain and we read on that day the messenger of allah gave Safwan bin Umaiyyah a hundred sheep, then another hundred, then another hundred. Ibn Shihab said, "Sa'eed bin Al Musayyab told me that Safwan said, 'by Allah The Messenger of Allah gave me what he gave me and he was the most hated of people to me, but he kept giving to me until he became the most beloved of people to me.'"
This guy hated Muhammad but Muhammad kept giving him sheep by the hundreds until Mohammad was his favorite person in the world.
In sahih bukhari 3344, Muhammad divides a piece of gold among four chiefs of a different tribe, we read: 'So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said he (the Prophet) gives to the Chiefs of najd and does not give to us. The Prophet said I give to them, so as to attract their hearts to Islam.'
He was giving them gold to attract their hearts to Islam. Nearly 14 centuries later Zakir Naik is doing the same thing. Muslims should be proud of Naik for imitating his Prophet by bribing people to convert when his arguments fail miserably.
Third, a few years ago when I was watching some of Zakir Naik talks to get some video clips for some shows, i was impressed that so many muslims showed up to hear him speak when the talks were in english. I know a few Christians from one of the areas he was speaking in and I said to them it's cool that wherever Zakir Naik goes there are so many muslims there, who speak english. Yhey said, 'Oh lots of the muslims who show up don't speak English.' I said, 'Why do they show up? Just to be close to Naik? They said, 'No, the Muslim leaders bring them in to cheer. They tell the Muslims who don't speak English to cheer loudly whenever they hear other Muslims cheering.'
Now think about this Zakir Naik organ ization has to bring in Muslims who have no idea what he's saying to cheer for whatever he says, why? Because they understand that many Muslims and even some non-muslims don't know enough about what he's saying to know if his arguments are good or bad. But if enough people are cheering for what he says gullible audience members will assume that he must be right.
So Naik organisation loads the audience with people who cheer for him no matter what he says, because the cheering has a psychological impact on gullible audience members. This is the Islamic version of a laugh track for a comedian who isn't funny. And let's face it a laugh track would be much more appropriate for a Zakir Naik lecture than for a comedian.
Putting all of this together, many Muslims regard Zakir Naik as their best debater and top apologist, who is Zakir Naik? He's someone who pretends to be a champion debater even though he's a coward who instantly backs down from every single experience Christian debater who challenges him. He's someone who pays people to convert to Islam just as his prophet paid people to convert to Islam. And he has to bring in cheerleaders to tell his fans when to cheer even though they have no clue what he's saying, also he can trick ignorant naive easily manipulated audience members into thinking that he's presented a serious case for Islam.
Zakir Naik is a joke he's always been a joke. He'll always be a joke. If this is as many Muslims claim the best apologist Islam has to offer out of 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. What does this tell us about Islam?
Of course there's much more we could say about Zakir Naik. If you'd like to know more about why he backs down from debaters, click on this video by Nabeel Qureshi, where Nabil examines just five minutes of a Zakir Naik lecture and finds 25 mistakes. You heard me correctly over a five-minute period Nakir Naik averages one mistake every 12 seconds.
Fortunately for Naik, he's speaking of people who don't know any better and who don't bother to question or challenge him. But they keep cheering anyway along with all the Muslims who don't even know what he's saying.
Welcome to Islam, the only religion that would want someone like Zakir Naik as its champion.
