Naik, who has been banned in the UK, has been given permanent residency in Malaysia, and embraced by top government officials. A Youtube video shows Naik saying that if Osama bin Laden "is terrorizing America the terrorist, the biggest terrorist, I am with him". Last week, India's counter-terrorism agency prepared charges against Naik, saying he has been "promoting enmity and hatred between different religious groups in India through public speeches and lectures." Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told parliament on Tuesday that Naik, who obtained permanent residency five years ago, was not being given "preferential treatment". Zahid and the prime minister have both posted photos on Facebook of their meetings with Naik last year in Malaysia.
