Re: stop exhibiting religious beliefs in public. Dr Nasim Ashraf
bhai sahib, last time I checked Pakistan was full of Muslims and name of the country is "Islamic Republic of Pakistan", so being religious and being public about it should be no man's business. As long as players' performance is not affected in the field it should be not a problem for anyone. None of players I have seen/heard so far has vouched to convert non-Muslim hosts when they go abroad, nor I hear them in interviews talking about how to pray or what Islam is about (HINT: Preaching). So whats the fuss about, why issue such statements?

Aren't all team memebrs already enjoying their religious freedom ?
Can you prove this to me if any of their such rights were/being withdrawn ?

The rights have not been withdrawn yet, but what we are seeing is that he wants to reign team from displaying religious acts in public... what acts have we seen so far? Taking of Allah's name by Inzi or may be other players when interviewed or making a sajda after achieving some milestone. Why is it such a problem for anyone? Its not as if the player halted the game entirely for few minutes so he could finish his religous act.

Why is it such a big issue of Presid Musharaf 'appointing' Dr. Nasim as board chairman ,,,? who the heck do you think has been assigning these appointments before?
President of Pakistan has always been the Chief Patron of PCB since Pakistan's National constitution conception.

No body seems to have questioned why Musharraf appointed, but "what-kinda-personality" he appointed is the question.

Last but not the least, why each time such an issue or remarks are deliberatly
taken out of the context and then a national debate is triggered as if this world has no other matters to worry about than this stupid debate?

bhai sahib, I asked you to teach us the context. What seems stupid to you is not so for others. British people are also suggesting that veil is a stupid thing.

Why each time muslims have to desclose their insecurities when non are present to the praying global elements? What are they trying to prove ?
Our Prohpet Mohammad PBUH never indicated nor practiced such idiololgies that are going around in circles.

Those who are displaying (consciuosly or subconsciously) are not the insecure one, rather those who want to hide it.

So time for you religious junkies to grow up and learn more about Islam and its values while conducting your relationship with the rest of the Godly world.

Actually its time for secular junkies to let the Muslims follow their religion and not impose their secular values upon Muslims.
