” Every Muslim should be a terrorist”. ” Western women are easy targets for rape.” ” If you eat pigs then you behave like pigs”. So says Peace TV’s cleric Zakir Naik.

Muslim hate preacher is let into Britain despite Tories’ pledge to keep out radicals

Home Secretary Theresa May faces outrage after her officials allowed an Islamic hate-preacher to enter Britain.

Zakir Naik, who has said ‘every Muslim should be a terrorist’ and claimed Western women are easy rape targets because of their revealing clothes, is to speak in a tour of the country.

But his arrival appears to fly in the face of earlier Tory pledges to oppose radical Islam and attempts to keep extremists out of the UK.

Test: Extremist Zakir Naik was allowed into the UK by Theresa May’s  officials

When the Indian last came to Britain in 2006, David Davies – the Conservative MP for Monmouth – described him as a ‘hate-monger’.

But the Home Office, however, indicated that they are not planning to ban Naik, a doctor who preaches on the satellite channel Peace TV.

So the Prime Minister David Cameron and Mrs May now face a political test over how tough their stance will remain now they are in government.

Naik, who will appear at London’s Wembley Arena and in Sheffield,  has been described by some moderate Muslims as a ‘truth-twister’.

In a recent lecture, he said he was ‘with’ Osama Bin Laden over the attacks on ‘terrorist America’, adding that the 9/11 hijackings were an inside job by President George W Bush, the Sunday Times reports.

‘I don’t know what he’s doing’ he said about Bin Laden. I’m not in touch with him. I don’t know him personally. If he is terrorising the terrorists, if he is terrorising America the terrorist … I am with him. Every Muslim should be a terrorist,’ said Naik about the US President.

The rancorous Naik is a doctor by profession and can recite long passages from the Quran by rote, his distinguished educational background and knowledge set him apart from the usual ‘mad mullah’ category.

However, he has called for all Muslims who change their faith to be executed.

The resident of Mumbai reserves the harshest criticism for Americans.

‘In America, most people consume pork. Many times after dance parties, they have swapping of wives. Many say, ‘You sleep with my wife and I will sleep with your wife’. If you eat pigs then you behave like pigs,’ he said describing the American way of life.

The uproar over his visit follows on the heels of a similar incident involving controversial preacher, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian radical.

The Tories were then in the Opposition and had vehemently campaigned for a ban on entry into Britain for al-Qaradawi.

One well-placed insider told the paper: ‘Zakir Naik is a nasty man who makes al-Qaradawi look like a participant at a teddy bears’ picnic. He shouldn’t be allowed into the country to stir up hatred.’

The UK Border Agency, a Home Office department, said: ‘Each case is considered on its own merits.

‘When assessing a visa application, we will consider the previous conduct of the individual and we will ensure the UK does not provide a platform for the promotion of violent extremism.’
