You immatures brute .think like a Indian first then u think like a Indian Muslim .shame on you .don't justify your silly thoughts. This is the root cause. If your zakir is so innocent ..why is he hiding in Saudi ? Why can't he come . religion should attract new followers by doing good deeds and acts not like mocking others faith.why Buddhism attracts millions of people irrespective of no marketing strategy ? .religion should continuously evolve and when it becomes stagnant .parasites and mosquitoes like zakir and their followers crop up .in one way by terrorist activities by Muslim terrorists we are getting alienated and other way its people like you do mocking and demeaning other faith .non believers are getting irritated and its clearly visible nowadays in non Muslim faces.

It is very unfortunate equating Dr. Zakir Naik on negative image.

He is so highly respected among educated Non-Muslims and Muslims.
He has been awarded prestigious awards. Unfortunately now all of a sudden some people started commenting negatively because of media.

His mission is peace and propagating Islam to every corner of the globe. Unfortunately most of us are failing to do this noble job.
Please understand well before you comment. Don't falsely comment. Watch, listen carefully what he talks. If you cant do it,
At least keep quiet and don't trouble who are doing your job.

Zakir Naik, talks very defensively the truth. He is highly educated and has the extensive knowledge both in science and most of the religions.
He is doing wonderful job and thus he covers our responsibility by doing fair dawa /propagation work, Let us support such people.

He is indeed a devoted PATRIOTIC

It was well expected ..Islam in coastal has evolved from past 30 years. Before when we were students there was no such hatredness and communal disturbance .we ourself used to attend rathotsava and kolas and including dakke Bali too in dk/udupi ..but due to penetration of Saudi money and propagation of salafist ( wahabist ) mentality, Situation is reversed now .we are strictly confining ourselves and alienating from others .. This has created suspicion among Hindus and Christians. People like zakir naik...misused our people and this has resulted in growing no of people getting attracted towards jihadist terrorism .I don't blame sangh fringe groups or our PM...our community needs to seriously introspect on this matter .strictly we must encourage our kids to go thru secular format of education. If not we will further move away from mainstream .even though I am a traditional voter of congress .I feel our pm is right on many aspect .intellectuals must step in and deradicalise madrasa system and its high time we must concentrate on bringing down high crime rate in the community and people who are into that must be expelled .jai hind .

If you want to protect our country do not hesitate to learn Islam and listen famous preacher Zakir Naik because Islam and it's followers always encourage real love to country and to depend our mother land.
Shameless hate mongers and fake nationalist always roaming around us to spread poison between the communities.

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

•    Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

•    Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

•    Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.
