The author seems to have a very narrow-minded approach about the acceptance of professionals practicing their religion , irrespective of the area they work in. I don’t know how she deliberately chooses to ignore the efforts of a number of Pakistani cricketers seeking advice on multiple occasions from a number of international cricket superstars like Shane Warne.
Misrepresenting Maulana’s words is all she could come up with. He always urges people, no matter which profession they are in, to perform their best (seeking guidance from the cricket veterans is obviously a part in achieving that), and not worrying much about the results (as this obviously is one of the ways to reduce pressure, play the natural game and perform better), which almost all the cricket veteran themselves would agree with. The author’s stance amuses me.
I reckon she might be having problem with Hashim Amla’s beard as well while sporting which he broke numerous records set by Virat Kohli, since he also has links with Tableeghi Jamaat. It is like saying that the same Pakistani team with bearded players perform better in the foreign conditions of England than their “unbearded” Indian contemporaries. I mean how could anyone even come up with such illogical and irrelevant stuff! There are numerous other factors for their subpar performance in 2019 which she simply ignores. The same team, by the way, beat a very strong Indian team black and blue in the Champions Trophy just two years back besides the 2000s team winning the World T20 in 2009.
Danish Kaneria has, by the way, said that the likes of Inzamam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Yousuf, Younis Khan and Shoaib Akhtar always supported him and he never had issues with them. So for the author’s information, the beards of the former two never troubled him like they are troubling the author. 😀
P. S.: Ms. Inayat, please try to back your stance with at least some concrete facts next time, if you seriously have some issues with the “beardos” in particular.
Thank you naila for writing this brave article. Can tell from personal experience that players in Pakistan are not even given chance to play national because of being non Muslim.
Gando ye log team me aye kaisey jab discrimination hoti hey Pakistan me, ek munafiq aur mutaseb writer ho, likhna hey tu un lakhon caroro mazlom musalmano k huqoq pe likho jo tum jaisey mutaseb zehneyat ke hamil tumhari hindo government asab kar rahi hey.
Poorly researched and a very opinionated article, especially due to the fact that both are known to have very shady backgrounds, both are prone to lying/make up stuff as they please, and at least one has been banned for life for fixing. Also, the fact that after pulling these accusations out of thin air, 8-10 years after their careers ended; none of them is really giving any names despite repeated requests!
How can you call India secular? It doesn’t give right to Muslims of its citizenship just because of their faith.So embarracing
What rubbish? Why are you people always in denial?
FYI Azzaruddin was captain of India for many years. Indian team always had one or two Muslims. No the case with pak teams. Ofcourse, how can they have when they murdered, butchered all hindus. Simple matter.
The Pakistan cricket team is now a bunch of losers.
Dont blame cricketers. Is*am itself propagate and believe in exclusiveism. It is against the spirit of indian constitution which gives freedom of faith and religion. It doesn’t recognize or tolerate the existence of any re*igion, *aith,cul*ure. Every mus*im is asked to con*ert at least 5 ka*ir into is*am. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I heard inzmam ul haq revealing in talkshow that he invited Brian lara on deen ki daavat and explained the merits of is*amic married life. It was attempt to seek his con*ersion into is*am. Lol.
I wish the writer had shed light on the issue that despite repeated requests, no names have been mentioned by either Shoaib or Kaneria, yet. With Kaneria’s fixing back ground and Shoaib’s known penchant for making up stuff for ‘likes/viewers’, maybe she should have covered the more probable angle of ‘Lying’ for publicity? Poorly researched and prejudicely written article at best!
Most Muslims, educated or not so educated, are obsessed with religion. This is really funny.
Most Muslims wear religion on their sleeves. their daily lives have no reflection of their religious values.
Excellent and thoroughly researched article that exposes the zombiness of isl*am. Keep it up!
Wow what loose talk. It doesn’t make sense and article is totally bias. Well it was expected from Indians who are boiled with pak hate. Tsk

Be safe…you might get tidnaped but secular media in India will look other way..

Naila – Thanks for being funny and informative at the same time. You write very well.
Agreed.
