History
Launched22 April 2011

After the terrorist attack in Dhaka, which caused 29 casualties, including 20 hostages (18 foreigners and 2 locals), investigations in the matter revealed that one of the terrorists involved in the attack had posted sermons of Zakir Naik on social media where he urged "all Muslims to be terrorists" by saying "if he is terrorizing a terrorist, he is following Islam".[6] Due to this, the Government of Bangladesh outlawed the channel, along with its English-language sister, on July 10, 2016.[7]
