I'm sorry, but I don't think its possible to engage in a reasonable exchange with you once you present Zakir Nayek as a righteous scholar of Islam. The guy's practically a joke to all except for some hard-core fanatics.
Dr.Zakir Naik is a medical doctor by degree .He is renowned as a dynamic international orator on Islam and Comparative Religion.
He clarifies Islamic viewpoints and clears misconceptions about Islam, using the Qur'aan, authentic Hadith reciting each and giving each Surat, Ayat number(by heart) and he has not only learned Qur'aan and Hadith by heart but has also learned several Bibles, the Talmud and the Torah (the Jewish scriptures), the Mahabharata and the Bhagwat Gita (the Hindu holy books), and other scriptures and gives very satisfying answer in conjunction with reason, logic and scientific facts. He has learned hundred and thousands of pages from different books by heart and has the knowledge of scientific and mathematical facts and theories.
Dr. Zakir Naik has delivered more than 700 public talks in the U.S.A., Canada, U.K., Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, South Africa, Mauritius, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Guyana (South America) and many other countries, in addition to numerous public talks in India. His lists of guests have included ambassadors of the respected countries, Army Generals, Political Leaders, Sports Persons, religious scholars , entrepreneurs, and most importantly the ordinary people.
He has successfully participated in several symposia and dialogues with prominent personalities of other faiths. His public dialogue with Dr. William Campbell (of USA), on the topic, "The Quran and the Bible in the light of Science" held in city of Chicago, U.S.A., on April 1, 2000 was the most famous one.
He is also the founder and chairman of Islamic Research Foundation .
The Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), Mumbai, India, is a registered non-profit public charitable trust. It was established in February 1991. It promotes Islamic Da'wah - the proper presentation, understanding and appreciation of Islam, as well as removing misconceptions about Islam - amongst less aware Muslims and non-Muslims.
Dr. Zakir Naik appears regularly on many international T.V. Channels in more than 100 countries of the world. He is regularly invited for T.V. and Radio interviews.
Shaykh Ahmed Deedat[May Allaah have mercy on him], the world famous orator on Islam and Comparative Religion, who had called Dr. Zakir, "Deedat plus" in 1994.
This guy is a joke?? People who never have accomplished anything worth talking about take liberties in pulling such people down. Case of sour grapes.
About Taslima, uh huh, you know nothing about her or the reason she developed such an aversive outlook towards Islam. Its not because of her uncle who raped her. Read up her biography,and then we can talk. Also, she's studied Islam and the Hadiths, and she's punctuated every criticism/slander (whatever you call it) with reference from the texts themselves.
This is from her twitter account...
"Muslim women deserve to have sex with 72 virgin men on the earth as they won't get these things in heaven."
a) This Hadith is a Daif, a weak Hadith because it has no chain of narrations although it is listed in an authoritative collection, this particular Hadith has technical weaknesses in its chain of transmitters and is therefore not considered acceptable.
b) Even If it was a Sahih Hadith & not a weak one, the Quran says "We were your allies in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request (Quran 41:31)", so InshaAllah, If I enter paradise & request for 72 virgins, as per Quran I will get it.. Another thing, this is not important but normally a Muslim who have strong knowledge in Islam, would know that "heaven" is Christian concept, Muslim calls it "Paradise".
This is another tweet of hers..
"Let's offend Islam. It is the only way to let Muslims live decent lives. Islam is the greatest enemy of Muslims."
What kind of person thinks that "offending" people is better than living in a society based on basic morals like "respecting each other & not hurting each other" ? 😕
And whoever told you that powerful women leaders (on the topic of Hasina and Khaleda) don't propagate the entrenched norms of patriarchy, is grossly mistaken with no understanding of how a patriarchal set-up works. Also note that Bangladesh has one of the worst records of women rights. Having two female Prime Ministers did zilch in that case.
Taslima said Islam is an oppressive religion...something that did little to secure the rights of women. Funny, Quran did mention about women rights in spiritual, educational, economical, social, legal, political & etc etc.. + there are hadiths too.. If the women in Bangladesh have no rights, then that is the "cultural" problem not "Islam". I wrote about some of the rights here http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4199525&PID=115478563&#p115478563
And lastly, if you think that no amount of "slandering" is going to destroy your faith, why the heck do you want to hound people who criticise it? Leave them alone, they're not gonna do any harm. 😆I don't pay attention to people who I think are utterly unable to inflict harm on me, I ignore their rants. The moment the whole Muslim world goes up in flames over the tiniest bit of perceived "blasphemy", issues death threats, holds violent rallies etc., it means they're not so sure that these handful of blasphemers can NOT do any harm to their faith. Look at the Christian world and how it handles mockery of Christ and Christianity in general---they ignore stuff like "Piss Christ", knowing that such stuff ain't gonna change their faith. Now THAT is called being secure, not running after people with bayonets and bombs.
Who says I hound them? I personally could not care less and they will not received any reaction from me. I mean how pathetic grown adults feel the need to do such a thing. Why would I react violent to an out and out provocation from a bunch of bigots with nothing better to do with their day? I feel pity for you all. It says volumes about you and nothing about me or my religion, draw what you like 'its your funeral' (idiom)..
P.S. Do show me links which prove that Hirsi Ali and Sultana are "liars".
Hirsi Ali

Sultana
She used to be an Alawi. They broke away from Islam around 900 AD. Many Alawi do not consider themselves to be Muslims. Ibn Kathir and other respected Sunni scholars historically categorized them as pagans. Sunni and Shia both rejects them as their belief is completely different from Islam. There are more like Christians. They even have a figure like Father Christmas who gives gifts to the children on December 26th.
Sulatana said "Nuke the Muslims"..like I said "mentally disturbed"
