Well, I'm not fan of the Dr Zakir, believing that much of his glorified characteristics are products of particular cultural vision and special political environment.. Certainly, he fits for the Subcontinent arena, but not necessarily for the others.. Even so, I need to question the measures of his success; while religious tension and cultural divide are chewing his homeland.. I had been to some of his lectures, and witnessed the enthusiasm he created, how cheerful person he is, and how he would move the commons for the chosen directions.. yet, I could not attend any more..!! He knows what tools are appropriate for his times and his audience.. He masters the mass communications and psychology of Oratory or Public Speaking.. I believe he should always focus on the local matters he masters, rather than addressing different environment that would require different tools.. Maybe this his shortfall..!!

An Indian Muslim preacher has been banned from entering the UK for his "unacceptable behaviour", the home secretary says. Zakir Naik, a 44-year-old television preacher, had been due to give a series of lectures in London and Sheffield. Theresa May said that visiting the UK was "a privilege, not a right". The home secretary can stop people entering the UK if she believes there is a threat to national security, public order or the safety of citizens. That includes banning people if she believes their views glorify terrorism, promote violence or encourage other serious crime. However, somebody cannot be banned just for having opinions that other people would find offensive. Ms May said: "Numerous comments made by Dr Naik are evidence to me of his unacceptable behaviour.
