Mumbai: Islamic preacher Zakir Naik is all over the news for his views on terrorism and for allegedly inspiring two Dhaka attackers who mercilessly hacked 20 people to death at a cafe. Now, a controversial video of the scholar preaching his views on rape are doing the rounds on social media.
The video begins with Naik explaining how the western world only asks people to not rape a woman but 'Islam shows a way in which people will achieve the state where people will not molest a woman.'
Naik says that the Quran says Hijab must be followed both men and woman but goes on to say that women must cover themselves completely to avoid stirring temptation in men.
“For example, if there are two twin sisters who are very beautiful, they are walking down the streets of Kuala Lumpur. And one twin sister is wearing the Islamic hijab that is complete body covered, except the face, and hands up to the wrist. And the other twin sister who is equally beautiful, very beautiful, she is wearing the Western clothes, the skirt or the mini and if they’re walking down the street. And round the corner there is a hooligan, there is a ruffian who’s waiting for a catch, who’s waiting to tease a girl. I’m asking a question, which girl will he tease? Will he tease the girl wearing the Islamic hijab, or will he tease the sister who is wearing the skirt or the mini. Which girl will he tease? But natural, he will tease the girl wearing the skirt or the mini. She is inviting the people to tease her.”
