Zakir Naik, the radical Muslim preacher has released a video in which he can be heard asking for Islamic countries across the world to create a database of non-Muslims who criticize Islam, arrest them and try them under blasphemy law when they land in their countries.
The video, which is going viral on social media, has the fugitive evangelist asking lawyers in Kuwait to collect a database of non-Muslim Indians who have passed negative remarks or abused or attacked Muslims or Islam and have them in their computer so that when they visit any Islamic country like Indonesia, Dubai, Kuwait, or Saudi Arabia, they can be tried under their laws.
