From the front page of the conference website:
Peace, internal and external be it on an 'individual' or at a 'worldwide collective' level is a must for effective human progress and realistic global unity.
This is very interesting, because it represents the kind of double-speak that dawah merchants (dawa-gandists!) engage in.
First of all, invoking the word 'Peace' all the time, standard dawah practise.
The Religion of Peace, Islam means Peace, etc etc.
But what this really means is:
"Peace, internal and external be it on an 'individual' or at a 'worldwide collective' level"
translation: Peace is Islam and Islam is peace. Peace can only be achieved on an individual and collective basis through submission to Islam. Islam not only brings peace to the individual, it brings peace to societies, by unifying them under Islam, and cleansing all kuffar evil. Hence, there is war until Islam is supreme and dominant. When that is achieved, there will be peace.
"is a must for effective human progress and realistic global unity"
Translation - Human civilisation will never progress and will always be in a state of jahiliya until it submits collectively to Islam, which means Peace, and peace can only be reached through the domination and completion of the Ummah - when all non Islamic belief systems are wiped off the planet, only then will there be 'global unity' and peace on earth.
Of course, this contains the central dawah misrepresentation about Islam meaning 'Peace' when it actually means 'Submission', but 'Peace' sounds better because you have to tailor the message to the audience, and if you come proclaiming yourself as believers in Peace, how can anyone criticise you?
Anyway, Zakir Naik wants to destroy all the misunderstandings people have about Islam - but when you understand what he is saying, it really does become apparent how creepy and sinister, nasty and intolerant his message is.
Next up I'l write about the cognitive dissonance revealed in these messages of Naik's.
