Analysis: The Khalistan Project - Zakir Naik’s Red Carpet Entry into Pakistan’s Extremism

Pakistan’s economic struggles are well known, but now a new layer of ignorance has been exposed – the visit of fugitive Zakir Naik to the country. It appears that Pakistan has rolled out the red carpet for Zakir Naik, not just as a guest, but as a means to obliterate whatever remains of the country's civilization with his toxic ideology.

The situation is reminiscent of a larger scheme where extremism is being embraced with open arms, leading Pakistan further into chaos. Zakir Naik’s controversial remarks, his meetings with Pakistan’s leaders, and the alarming red carpet reception for someone who has been in hiding from India’s legal system all point toward a dangerous trend of fostering ignorance under the guise of religion.

In one instance, during an award function, Naik objectified young girls who had achieved academic excellence, reducing their achievements to marriageability rather than intellectual merit. This brazen comment was applauded by hardliners, while a more educated section of society raised questions about the disturbing direction the nation is heading.

As Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, appears to cozy up to Naik, the possibility arises that the government may be using Naik’s extremist rhetoric as a distraction from the country’s real issues of hunger, poverty, and economic collapse. Feeding the public with extremist ideologies seems like a strategy to divert their attention away from the failing state of the nation.

Naik’s presence in Pakistan doesn’t just signify a visit, it marks the potential transformation of the country into a breeding ground for more radicalization – a 'Khalistan ' in the making.
