Re: A Muslim's shame and outrage
When I said about the definition, I didn't mean as that would be the only criteria for someone to be a Muslim. I meant to say that there are ahdith which provide guidelines of being a Muslim i.e. A Muslim is one by whose hand and tongue other (Muslims?) are safe etc.
Support of Irfan Pathan or Danish Kaneria: First question would be, what are they "fighting/competing" for? They are fighting for "sports/entertainment" value, not religious value, there I will support Danish Kaneria, simple, isn't it?

Ideally it does not make sense to have any kind of groups, just follow human values and the world would work just fine. But as it is human tendency to form groups based on certain criteria like similar looks, language, religion etc, it's not possible to live a group less life.

"Ideally".... may be. But if you are talking about ideally than Muslims following "Islam" completely wouldn't be resulting in being the root cause of this thread, agree?
