The following is a comment by a reader. Thank you. I decided to blog this comment because the subject is a source of too much controversy in the country. Plus the reader here makes some valid points.

‘As for the extradition (of Zakir Naik), we are doing to India what China is doing to us.’
1. Malaysia is harbouring a fugitive (from India) but always preaches to the world that other nations must respect our laws.  (OSTB : Cakap tak serupa bikin again. Other countries will see through our hypocrisy. And then a few years ago we did send that Saudi Facebooker back to Saudi Arabia, - that boy is in jail or has been killed.)
2. Zakir Naik’s assets are worth at least RM113m, money meant for ‘Muslim welfare’. Using funds meant for the welfare of Muslims for personal benefits is ‘haram’. Zakir is wealthy by collecting money from the people. He seems to be an elusive money launderer and has been alleged to have used charity monies for personal material gain.   (OSTB :  He cannot deny that he has bought 20 flats in Mumbai etc. He cannot deny that he has RM113 million worth of assets. The reason he cannot deny is because the Indians have black and white evidence - simple title deeds, documents etc - that those 20 or more flats are indeed in the names of his family members. What he cannot answer is where did he get all that money to pay for these 20 flats and more. That is his problem. Hence his refusal to go back to India.)
3. Allegedly diverting funds for personal use however is ‘haram’ and he and his family know it. If true, he is no different from the American evangelical preachers who have amassed enormous personal wealth thanks to their blind followers.   (OSTB :  This is a very tiny matter for these hypocrites.  Eddy Wang can just deny RM90 million or that RM1.4 million. The unthinking supporters will believe.)
4. Well, can the RM113 million, money meant for ‘Muslim welfare’ but allegedly used to buy flats, as well as bank deposits for his whole clan, be syariah compliant that no one should question it.
5. How can Zakir Naik be an effective preacher if he is now confined to Malaysia? Apparently, he is too afraid to leave the country to visit other Muslim and non-Muslim countries for ‘dakwah’ activities. 
(OSTB : A good point. It looks like Zakir Naik's globetrotting days are over. He is obviously in hiding in Malaysia. Afraid to venture out of Malaysia.  The Islamic world will miss his presence very greatly.  Saving his skin is more important than sticking his neck out doing dakwah. He cant even travel to Saudi Arabia - where MBS or Mr Bone Saw - will not want to be seen with him. But not to worry - he will be speaking at local ceramahs.)
6. As a Saudi citizen, Zakir should return to Saudi Arabia to propagate Islam from there but even the Saudis now are apparently distancing themselves from Zakir. Malaysia should send Zakir Naik back to India to face the charges. 
(OSTB :  Exactly the point. Zakir Naik is now a Saudi citizen. So the question is why does he insist on hanging out here in Malaysia where he is NOT a citizen but just a PR?  And why is Zakir Naik so afraid of going back to India to clear his name of these criminal charges of money laundering? India is the world's largest democracy and they have almost 100% freedom of speech. The Indians have a much more established  legal system and  court process. Zakir Naik cannot prove anything by shouting about his innocence from Malaysia. Just go back to India and clear his name of their charges. )
7. So Zakir is left to preach to the converted in Malaysia, which is about 60 percent Muslim. That begs the question, why he is still here? What brand of Islam is he propagating here?
8. We don’t want a debate that ridicules others. We need a more intellectual and composed method of Islamic propagation without the need to ridicule other religions.
9. If we do not accept India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) charges, so why should the world accept Malaysia’s charges against Jho Low for laundering funds? India chasing Zakir Naik is like how we are chasing Jho Low.  
(OSTB :  Spot on again. Jho Low has not been convicted of any offense by a Malaysian court yet. But still we first need Jho Low to come back to Malaysia from China  and answer whatever charges / lawful investigations against him according to our Court processes. The same rights and regard is due to the Indians wanting Zakir Naik to go back to India to answer charges in according to their legal processes. Why is Malaysia being so hypocritical? We want other countries to respect our laws / systems but we will not respect the law / systems in other countries?)
10. Perhaps now is the time for China to publicly declare that Jho Low is there as its honoured guest since he has not committed any wrong there. As for the extradition, we are doing to India what China is doing to us.
OSTB : What is good for the goose must be good for the gander.
11. What both have in common is that they used their considerable allegedly stolen wealth to ‘judiciously’ influence the authorities in Malaysia and China respectively.
12. Muslim extremists will definitely claim this is a cooked-up story by the Indian government. To confirm whether it is true, Wisma Putra (Foreign Ministry) should request for details and these allegations against Zakir Naik and publish it.
(OSTB : I believe the details are well known. They have been widely publicised in the Indian and other media. He is being investigated for money laundering of over RM113 Million from dubious and doubtful sources. This is the charge. Just go back to India and clear his name. His supporters - who are obviously of the BODOH type - can collect money and 'donate' it to Zakir Naik to pay for his lawyers fees in India. If there is any money left over Zakir Naik can buy more apartments in India.)
13. Money laundering is a crime and he should be deported when requested by the Indian authorities. Please do not harbour an alleged criminal, even if he is a Muslim preacher. Wrong is wrong.
(OSTB :  In my view the money laundering is a minor issue. His satanic religious beliefs are a bigger crime.)
14. There are Muslim leaders who have accepted that there is a syariah-complaint category of lies, who is there to say there is no such thing as syariah-compliant money laundering then?
(OSTB : Syariah-compliant lies my @$$. That is another satanic lie. But the followers of satan will say anything to cover up their criminal behaviour. That is why they do not get any respect from the whole world. They just cannot get it that satanism is so out of date and old fashioned.) 
15. We must settle this matter with India. We should not let Zakir Naik stand in the middle of good ties between the two countries. It is mind boggling that we value him, a wanted man, more than our diplomatic ties with India.
(OSTB :  We dont respect the legal process in India with reference to Zakir Naik but we want other countries (like China)  to respect our legal processes vis a vis Jho Low.  This is not just munafikism but village idiot stupid. Cebuk dale sungai type of village idiots.) 

PLEASE GET RID OF THIS PEST CALLED ZAKIR NAIK...
