Is Zakir Naik honest and true in his preachings?

Question

I have seen so many videos given by him till date. If you haven't seen his preachings i advise you all to watch atleast couple of them. I attended many speeches by great thinkers around the world and this guy shocked me completely. He defies everyone's thinking, because he pretends to be open to all religions when he starts his speech and (if you know can read psychology) he changes gradually to an extremist view of Islam.

Even though he starts talking that all religions came from one main religion, he slowly starts seperating them from Islam and ends boasting that Islam is the best religion of all. Personally i feel he is the biggest liar and is doing the same thing which extremist Islamists do but in a different way.

I really want to see what people think about his preachings. I welcome everyone's answer, for and against, but I sincerely request you, please be reasonable when you say something. Defend your answer with one or two explanations you feel he is doing.

Answer 1

i have seen most of his videos and what i feel is that, he is trying to give us a clear picture of who really God is and if there are many of them or there is just one God. he gives us the exact verse nos, page nos from the holy books of various religions and if you want you could refer and find out if they are false. i verified most of the references he gave and i found it to be exact, i am rather impressed by his speeches.
and by the way every person talking about his religion will try to prove that his or her religion is the best, but nobody gives you exact references and clear picture. there is no cover up in his speech.
and there was something he mentioned about the prophet muhammad being mentioned in the other holy books and i had verified it and found it to be true and not only that sri sri ravi shankar also mentioned that it is mentioned in the holy books.

you should do a little bit of research and find out the truth yourself.

Answer 2

Think about it, you cant be open to all religions and be biased towards one at the same time. that would be a contradiction of beliefs. Even the pope is a liar because he does the same thing. But political pressure puts increasing scrutiny on leaders who DONT teach that "everyone is right".
