Imran Khan believes in jihad in Afghanistan and Kashmir I have heard him say so often on TV. There is no guarantee this money will not go to a jihadi tanzeem which kills Indians or Afghans.

If the ``Indians`` there were prepared to be careless enough to fund the deaths of their own countrymen, what the heck is so noble about that?

{{{PS: Imran using his fingers to eat is memorable because it was an anachronism in that gathering and in that one moment he asserted an identity. (Anyway, I balk at the thought of using a knife and fork with naan.) }}}}}}

Miss FV
Well, Imran has been MEMORABLE internationally way, before anyone could even think about it. Mr.Imran Khan is memorable as a cricket legend. Imran Khan is memorable legend as a social worker, who gave a new meaning to compassion with poors and needy by building Cancer hospital. Imran Khan is memorable legend in helping earthquake victims.
Our prophet Mohammad(PBUH) used to eat with his fingers , he(PBUh) was the most humble and well mannered person on this earth. I love to eat with my fingers, rather using forks and spoons. I will rather quote this way,``Imran using his fingers to eat makes him more gentle, humble and proper with excellent mannerisms, which means he follows Peophet(PBuh)`s ways. Imran Khan doesn`t need any new identity or recognition from any one, this great legend is already recognised and identified to an extent, where people can`t even think to reach. God has already given him much recognition. Imran has already reached his pinnacle of identity, where no one of us has ever gone or will ever go.......

So, if, Imran would have been using forks and spoons, that would have made him proper and you wouldn`t have pointed out or wouldn`t raise a finger. So, all poor and simple Asian people, who use their fingers to eat , are not proper or anachronism to the current times............

Mind it, do not label earthquake victims as jihadis. Jihadis are Arabs. These earthquake victims are just simple and innocent people, who have suffered a lot. Imran Khan is not jihadi as well. God knows, why your prejudice makes you restless to an extreme that you have started calling, all noble Paki men Jihadis.

In my dictionary, Jihadi means a person from any religion who goes to an extreme to kill other innocent people, so, jihadi can be hindu/muslim/christian/jew or anyone..........So, exercise care in using your words for a good and noble cause. Thanks

Imran Khan supports the people who slit the throat of this Indian and murdered him. The Indian was working for an organisation building a major road in Afghanistan which the people whom Imran Khan supports do not want built.

Since Imran Khan supports the Taliban and their jihad in Afghanistan, very vocally and unequivocally, he also supports their killing of this Indian.

There is nothing noble about Indians who don`t care about their own countrymen being murdered and rather contribute funds to supporters of the murderers.


``Maniappan is the only son of his parents and the sole breadwinner of the family. With tears and prayers, the family was hoping against hope to hear good news, a relative said.

The slaughtered body of 36-year-old Kutty, a driver with Border Roads Organisation, was found dumped by the roadside in Delaram district of Nimroze Province, Governor of Khashroad Mohd Hashim Noorzai, was quoted as saying by international news agencies in Kandahar.

``He has been slaughtered. His throat has been cut,`` he said.

Taliban on Tuesday evening called up news agencies in Kandahar to say they have killed Kutty, who was abducted on Saturday as the BRO did not comply with its demand to pull out of Afghanistan. ``

You are welcome to have your comments for Taliban. I do not support them at all. But, Imran Khan has got nothing to do with Taliban. If, you will repeat same mantra again. better save your next post. I don`t wish you to waste your precious time and words on repeating same thing again and again.

But, Imran Khan has no connection with any jihadis. Please, do not blame our hero for nothing. Again, Jihadis are not only muslims, they can be hindus, jews, christians or sikhs, if, they kill innocent people using their religion.

Are you denying what he says on TV ? Not very convincing.

--
Now if it had been Hindus slitting throats or burning down girls`s schools as the Taliban does regularly, and a famous Indian personality vocally supporting them in such `jihad` was raising funds in the US - forget about contributing, the so-called liberals who attended Imran`s gathering would be orchestrating a big song and dance of outrage.

This sort of blatant double standard has done no good to the cause of anything liberal.

Dear Axeman,
Other than that how do you feel about the holy ex-captain?

Re: # 24

Salim Bhai… He comes from a village only a stone’s throw away from mine. He has done zilch to lift his people from misery and underdevelopment. He, as the other elite of that region, i.e., the Jerks of Kala Bagh have done zilch for the people of that region. Swinging a bat doesn’t make one a man. It takes a lot more than that. He is your typical Punjabi zamindar moron who thinks that he is a God’s gift to the world. He has lived a very sheltered life and he doesn’t have a clue about the real world. He might have been a good athlete, but he only represents elitist mindset of Punjab and is certainly not a representative of an average Pakistani.

#25, kulharee {``Swinging a bat doesn’t make one a man.``}

Dear Axe Bhai,
Now, come on :) Did you really want to say that? I thought that was the distinguishing feature.

On a more serious note, I agree with what you said about Punju landlords.

I am not denying you. May be Imran said some words in their favour. But, just to have more supporters. I admit, he is hypocrite in some issues. But, again, it doean`t mean , he is not worth of our respect for what he has done and is still doing for Pakistan and of course it is for the good cause.

Imran is a practical man, not just wordy. He did, what he promised. He is strong willed leader. I wish him , all the best and I wish him PM ship of Pakistan. Yes, Pakistan needs leaders like him to guide , already misguided Pakis.

He has earned this respect after serving Pakistani people through out his life, be it Paki cricket team captain, or helping cancer victims by his charity hospital, or helping earthquake victims. Mind it I am not trying to convince you. I hate to convince people to try my best to make them agreeable to my opinion or to my point of view. If, everything will be alike, then where would be beauty??

You have the right to reserve your opinion about HIM,but, I have the right to reserve my BELIEF upon HIM...................You go with your opinion, I will trust my BELIEF...............Thanks

I am not trying to convince you nor have I said anything about whether Pakistanis should or should not support him. It is the Indians that I talked about. Excuse me I have the right to speak to Indians about his support for those who kill Indians.

Will the Real Imran Please Stand Up

Imran used his solitary vote in parliament in Rehman`s favour, forwarding the argument that the MMA is the only political force that is independent and does not take dictation from abroad. He maintained that he found himself ideologically and politically close to the MMA, which denounces President Pervez Musharraf`s support to the international coalition in the war against terrorism, especially in neighbouring Afghanistan.

``Khan has more than a soft corner for the ousted Afghan Taliban,`` a senior leader of his party said on the condition of anonymity. ``He thinks that the orthodox religious militia did a great service to Afghanistan and Islam before they became a target of the Americans.``

Those so-called liberals who refuse to stand up and be counted on horrific depradations by extremist Muslims will have more credibility when they call their creed by its real name `anti-Americanism` and stop pretending that they subscribe to universal values of any kind.

Re: # 30

Sadna, absolutely. Imran and his likes will be nowhere to be seen during the Sunni-Shai Sunni-Ahmai Sunni-Christian violence. They are chickentshyt and afraid to speak up against the thugs of their own kind, meanwhile America provides an easy blame displacement target. Have you ever seen Imran speak up against the terrorists or murderers of minorities? Ironically, I am meeting with his sister for lunch tomorrow, I will ask her… However, she is different and is a lovely girl.
