Time Magazine
He is of the belief that Islamic states cannot allow non-believers to propagate their false religions - though they can, of course, freely practice their foolish tenets in the privacy of their own homes. When told that was a bit unfair when non-Islamic states allow Muslims to build mosques and proselytize, he simply says that it is because other religions are not certain of their faith so they allow Islam in.

Zakir Naik & Bengal riots
Times of India
Intelligence sources also said they were probing the hand of a radical Islamic ideologue from Gujarat, Zakir Naik, and activists of the Ahl-e-Hadees militant group. According to a Kolkata police officer, there was enough evidence to prove that "anti-national, fundamentalist forces" were involved in Wednesday's rioting. "Had it been spontaneous, it would have spread across the city. It didn't happen because the trouble had been planned by a few who were bent on creating a disturbance. We will make arrests very soon," he said.
