Re: Tis a sad day my fellow countrypeople…
India has a large English language media, so every quote by every hothead gets published in English for all to read. OTOH, Pakistan’s English papers have hardly 100,000 circulation, and vast majority read Urdu papers.
I can post a lot of translated stuff from a lot of Urdu reports from Nawa-i-Waqt, Jasarat, Daily Islam, Jang etc.
Here’s a quote during India’s 2004 tour. It is from Jasarat in late April or early May 2004. It is a quote from some mullah named Qazi Kashif Niaz in a rally that included MMA and jihadi people:
Cricket is an evil and sinful sport. Under the intoxication of the cricket, Pakistanis have forgotten that these Hindu players come from the same nation that had raped our mothers, sisters, daughters, wives and daughter-in-laws. These are the same Hindus who had dismembered Pakistan.’
‘It is so sad that Pakistanis are committing suicides after losing cricket matches to India. But they are not sacrificing their lives to protect the honour of the raped Kashmiri women. To watch a cricket match, we would take a day-off from work. But for jihad, we have no time! It was the ‘British conspiracy to introduce cricket in the Muslim countries. The British gave the Muslims the bat and snatched the sword and said to them: ‘You take this bat and play cricket. Give us your sword. With its help we will kill you and rape your women.’
