Re: Yousuf pulls out of Champions Trophy, Hafeez likely replacement...
If in a Hindu populated city, most of the Hindus don't follow Bhaqwat Gita VERY sincerely, and one Hindu wants to be submitted to his Lord Ganesh or any of the other gods. He tries his level best to even follow the minor details of his religion, like appearance ( putting a tilak line on his forehead...etc.) and other things which he believes Ram also used to do.... He doesn't like to sit with his friends to watch immoral stuff or to get unconscious by over drinking alcohol....etc.
Now, if he never declared himself a better Hindu than other common people in the city, his behavior is very modest and down to earth but he only is firm and committed to his own beliefs, which is apparent from his dressing, his conduct, his behavior, his actions and his words.
Would it be sane for other Hindus to call him a phoney or SHOW OFF ?!?!? Is he doing all this to make others look like non Hindus. REMEMBER, it is not the people who control the religion, it is the religion that controls people, because people's views change from time to time and from place to place, but religion's views remain ultimate not matter "when" and "where" you go
p.s. One positive aspect of Yousuf's sincerity towards even the minor details of his religion is a "keep Quiet!!" call for those who think he was forced to become a Muslim. Because if he were not a muslim by heart, he would never have shown such a passion EVEN IN THE ASPECTS OF RELIGION which he would never have been forced by anyone.
p.s.2. **He was also very expressive before becoming a Muslim. In spite of knowing that the home crowd consists of muslims, he would face the camera and make a plus sign with his hand after reaching a fifty.
What was he trying to gain by "bravely" making a plus sign in front of millions of muslims EVERY time he reached a milestone ??!?!**
