Some sections of Pakistan’s liberal & left-wing press have severely criticized Zaid Zaman Hamid. It accused Hamid of distorting facts relating to Islam, Pakistan and the West and forming a “cult of denial” around himself. Journalists like Fasi Zaka of The News International, Nadeem F. Paracha of Dawn Newspaper and Daily Times’ Najam Sethi have been Hamid’s leading critics.[1][2].
In the aftermath of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks,[3] the show was criticized by the Times of India for stating that the attack was planned by ""Hindu Zionists" and "Western Zionists", including the Mossad."[4]
