"Those who are complaining about Sharia law, should follow the rules of the land. If you want Sharia law then go to the country where it is prevailing. This is my message," Noon said at the launch of his autobiography, 'NOON, With a View'.
The 72-year-old Sir Noon, who narrowly survived the recent terrorists' attack in Mumbai, said the UN should deal with the scourge of terrorism and cautioned that unless something drastic was done, the country which is harbouring terrorists would have to pay a heavy price.
He also said that religion does not sanction violence and terrorists have no religion.
"Quran says if you kill one human being, you are killing humanity and if you save one, you are saving the humanity," said Sir Noon.
Narrating his brush with death when terrorists struck the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai on November 26, Sir Noon said he, his brother and two others were to dine at the Hotel's restaurant which came under attack but they decided at the last moment to have their dinner in their room.
He said this was the fourth time he had narrowly escaped death. He had earlier escaped a road accident as a 22 year old in India before surviving an aircrash in Baghdad in 1972.
Subsequently, he also survived a bomb blast in a taxi near the same Taj Hotel in Mumbai.
