Islamic Society Hands Out Radical Booklet: “Every Muslim Should be a Terrorist”

Answers to Non-Muslims’ Common Questions About Islam, Naik’s controversial booklet, states “every Muslim should be a terrorist to anti-social elements in society.”

Two Durham students, Martha Muir and Sabrina Steuer, wrote to the campus Islamic Society after being handed the booklet, calling out the group for distributing such inflammatory material.

Considering the hateful things this man has said and the fact he is literally barred from entering the country we find it highly problematic that your society chose to spread this pamphlet. Furthermore, this was just one of the many of his pamphlets being offered on your stand.’

No doubt the two women were particularly disturbed by Naik’s writings about the treatment of women in Islam. The radical preacher wrote that women should wear hijabs to keep from being molested. He says Muslim men have the right to beat their wives “gently” and are entitled to sex with female slaves.

The booklet also asserts that Western culture has turned women into “concubines, mistresses, and social butterflies who are mere tools in the hands of pleasure seekers.”

Students weren’t the only ones upset by the booklet. Members of the British Parliament weighed in as well.

Tory MP Phil Davies said the distribution shows universities must be careful to ban the availability of such materials.

It is a massive concern that stuff like this can be distributed at universities in the first place. It would indicate universities are places that need to be focused on when combating radicalisation. It was clearly irresponsible for the material to be issued in the first place.”

Fellow Tory MP Andrew Bridgen shared his concerns as well.

Terror organisations always prey on the fact our society is decent and civilised. But we should not be spreading their propaganda for them – particularly through our respected educational institutions.”

Naik blames alcoholism for creating high levels of rape, molestation, incest and AIDS in Western nations. He argues a “true Muslim” should be a terrorist to “such people.”

DUISOC President Mohammed Alatiyyah apologized to those upset and offended by the booklet.

We very much regret that they were displayed. These views in no way represent the views of our society, and they are not views that we want to spread or promote.”

Naik’s Islamic Research Foundation has been banned from India in order to “safeguard national security.”
