- Peace TV Bangla is the Bengali-language channel of the UAE-based Peace TV. The founder and president of Peace TV Bangla is Zakir Naik, an Islamic preacher from Mumbai, India. It was launched on April 22, 2011, and is broadcasting worldwide. 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". Due to this, the Government of Bangladesh outlawed the channel, along with its English-language sister, on July 10, 2016. (en)
