Re: Shoaib Maliks comments...(MERGED)
hey ravage, i agree with your earlier post about it being tough luck for India if Indian Muslims get targetted. I think the other posters are talking bs. In my house in India, my neighbors are muslim, infact we are surrounded by muslims and we are all good friends. Most of India is literate, and they know, but i guess there are some idiots there as well who might take advantage by i doubt it. But i dont think we should look into that too much.
About the post i quoted, why would Indian fans criticize Irfan Pathan for saying Mashallah? Some of the biggest icons in India are muslims. And maybe you need to understand what Malik said (i think it was a mistake). He thanked muslims all over the **world **for their support which is not the same as Irfan Pathan saying Mashallah before his interview. Hope you understand.
the irfan pathan reference was regarding queer criticizing "first of all thanks Allah", mashallah is more or less an arabic version of that.
i understand what he said was a misstatement, which however made sense to a pakistani audience in the context of ramzan. something that can happen no matter how good your english is when youre on stage after a big match. its only a serious misstatement when you start attributing all these BS political reasons like the earlier posters did and which they dont seem interested in defending now.
otherwise its just a bunch of desies gathering around making fun of another desi's english. typical brown nosing inferiority complex riddled mentality where any mistake in english is immediately a character flaw. same mentality where salman butt is the VC just cause he can speak english well.
