Zakir Naik, a controversial televangelist, accused of money laundering and
inciting violence in India, was asked by Qatar to give lectures preaching
Islam in advance of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Indian authorities have shut down the Islamic Research Foundation that Naik
founded because its members “promote or attempt to encourage feelings of
hostility, hatred, or ill-will between different religious communities and
groups,” according to the government’s official justification for the ban.
