'Ban Zakir Naik' Chorus Grows: The Islamist Terror Debate
On The Buck Stops Here, we look at the terror attacks during the holy month of Ramzan where over 350 people have died. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has said she is "ashamed as a Muslim" over attack in Pampore. On the Dhaka siege, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has asked, "What kind of Muslims are these who kill others during Ramzan?" We ask: is the Islamist terror the politically inconvenient truth? Is it possible any longer to divorce terror from religion? Is the onus on moderate Muslims to stand up and be counted? And is it time to ban incendiary radical preacher Zakir Naik who is said to have 'inspired' Dhaka attackers?
