Why thank (just) Muslims around the world?
At the presentation ceremony of today's Twenty-20 finals, Shoib Malik said: "First of all I'd like to thank people back home and the Muslims around the world." I really don't understand why he has to thank people of a religion particularly. Does he think people of other religions never support Pakistan? Why is that so? BTW, India is home to nearly as many Muslims as Pakistan itself!

Well, I am sure he has pleased many in Pakistan. It's an Islamic country for all practical purposes and his comments must have surely pleased many ears there.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful that it did not turn out to be an Indian who made such comments. In case it did happen, it wouldn't have mattered as to which community he thanked. The media would have still found an issue "that rocked the secular credentials" of our country.
