Re: Shoaib Maliks comments...(MERGED)
a mashallah isnt that far from "thanks to Allah"... it is actually the arabic version of thanks to Allah. words you say earn Muslims xenophobia.
Praisinfg your God for doing something is ok. What is not ok is claiming that you are sole representative of complete community? He could have easily said 'All fan' rather than 'all muslims'.It may have been slip of tongue and that is probably good example. But trying to defend it by giving this crap that what he said was perfectly alright and all pakistanis understood it just pathetic. When you are on that stage your audience is not just average Joe in Pakistan but it is the whole world and you are ambassador of your country.
It just makes him look like someone who cannot think beyond relegion.
Like many others in this forum, lets say that it was slip of tongue and move on.
