Dr. Zakir Naik who has been out of country and refused to have a one-on-one interaction with dna released five videos on Thursday. Seemed to be clipping from his channel Peace TV, they slammed the Indian media of being short on ethics and picking up things from Daily Star (Bangladesh media outlet without) verifying. He, however, failed to elaborate in the video what was not verified. “They did not follow ethics of journalism,” said Naik stating that Indian media were out to “malign” him and that people should not believe in what is shown unless they cross check. The part that Indian media did not verify was missing from his video. The other “question” he put forth to prove Indian media being unethical was it not picking up comments by his supporters from the online site of Daily Star where except one all were in his favour. Some comments even asked proof against Naik.
Each of the videos had a title with the preacher's pose. They were called – Dr. Zakir Naik condemns the Bangladesh Terrorist Attacks, Bangladeshis stand in support of Dr. Zakir Naik, Does Dr. Zakir Naik tell the Muslims to be terrorists, Dr. Zakir Naik's view on 'ISIS' killing innocent human beings, and Dr. Zakir Naik's response to the media on Bangladesh terrorist attacks. Naik repeated that most of his statements were quoted out of context. He said Muslim media using ISIS in English and Daesh in Arabic were “unintentionally and ignorantly” promoting enemies of Islam and that from now on they should call then AISIS (anti-ISIS) and Dagaesh. The message, ironically, came in a video called 'Dr. Zakir Naik's view on 'ISIS' Killing innocent human beings.
