Zakir Naik faces backlash after telling girl to apologize for question on pedophilia in Islamic societies
Zakir Naik, an Islamic preacher, faced backlash after telling a Pashtun girl to apologize for her question about rising pedophilia in Islamic societies. He claimed that a true Islamic society cannot have pedophiles, calling her question contradictory. During a speech in Karachi, Naik dismissed the girl's concerns about societal issues, insisting her question was wrong. He stated that a pedophilic person cannot be a Muslim and demanded she clarify her statement. His response has sparked outrage on social media, with many users criticizing his behavior and questioning his reasoning. Critics argue that the girl's question was valid and that Naik's insistence on her apology was inappropriate.
