THE MANCS GET GUNNED DOWN
Not a bad weekend really, bad weather, I hit a pothole. Buckled a rim. These freakin roads are hazardous. Just a warning. Anyone in Rosebank beware the wretched pothole next to the Caltex Garage. I watched a movie Saturday with a beautiful lady, Did some great work for the Charity foundation on Saturday, watched the MANCS get Gunned down ..........Sunday....I enjoyed a beautiful Tuscan Function by Hazrat which hosted many footballers, Del, Fabregas, Cisse, to name a few. Great function by the Hazrat.........Congrats to him and Thats Football.
At night went to see the Hajees and Mr Jamaal off.
BUT NOW................HE HE.LET THE BASHING BEGIN
THEATER OF DREAMS AND ALWAYS A GUNNER
I cant understand these MANCS. They were adament that they outplayed Arsenal. Wenger is a genius. And so was Fabregas and Nasri on the day. The Arsenal litys play football. Immediately after the game I went to Akals. Zaks Akals was lambasting Gary Neville. He said how much space did Neville give Nasri. And Neville must go, Hes too slow. I always rated Gary Neville.But I cant understand why he backpaddles away from teh ofensive player. He just doesnt have the pace and tenacity he has like he did before. But teh build up to the second Arsenal goal. 16 passes all in all.
And what a finish from Samir Nasri. A great win for the Gunners no doubt, Faiz Oz, Zam Ram, Jives. But I hope Arsenal dont go lose against the minnows a gain. From an ABU perspective, Purely Spectacular.
But how was Clichy, He didnt give Penaltino and inch. Rooney was a villain on not scoring earlier on and well you cant blame Neville for the first. Deflections are crude.
But a moment to savour as the MANCS have only pulled a point from the BIG THREE.
Purely sublime. We await your comments you MANC MUGGS. And please dont say that you outplayed Arsenal.
The litys did our dirty work when it mattered the most
CHEL$KI
Nicholas Bilal Anelka. What a chap. He just keeps on scoring. Plenty functions this weekend. So the timers had to obviously add their two cents. Their debate was Jose used to sit and defend after a 1 goal lead. Big Phil on the other hand attacks and says go for more. And its showing with Chelsea. They hitting teams with numbers. And Fat Frank is having a great season.
FROM THE KOP END
Robbie Keane. Settling in. As the kop owes said before. Keane is tried and tested in the Premiership. And it was just a matter of time. More importantly though is that Liverpool are getting the three valuable points that they always used to squander in the past against the mid table hagglers. WBA are not the best , but 3-0 was resounding. Shall we phone the cooks and tell them what to start preparing. And what made this 3-0 victory more special is that the MANCS lost. I spoke to some big kop owes yesterday, Cisse, Coffee....and they said Swoosh ...Its coming...This year its ours
Spurs are on the up with Harry Rednapp. And now all of a sudden Darren Bent is putting away.
In La Liga Barcelona were awesome..........Thats all I can say.Samuel Eto. Imagine he left and came to the premiership.
In Serie A JUVE won again at Cheivo Thanks to a stunning free kick AGAIN by Alex Del Piero. The man is rolling back the years. Inter won and Milan were held
In other Sports I sms'd Azee and Seth and sai why is De Villiers playing attacking Rubgy. How can you leave your front door open when you go out at night. Wales were fighting back. And after that last line out,IF they got a try and a penalty, they would have sealed it at the death
In Cricket everybody that got Zee TV are talking about the IPL . Some big names there. India have contained the Ozzies at home. But the Ozzies on home Soil are a different cup of tea,
And Congratulations Hashim Amla on that superb 141 against the Bangalees.
I want to ask the readers to share their views on Hash and his one day form.
Its a great thing now to see this cricketer as a World Class performer in both forms of the game

Excellent Read...!!!
THE PAKISTANI CRICKETER IMRAAN KHAN
Why The West Craves Materialism &
Why The East Sticks To Religion
By Imran Khan
My generation grew up at a time when colonial hang up was at its peak. Our
older generation had been
slaves and had a huge inferiority complex of the British. The school I went
to was similar to all
elite schools in Pakistan. Despite gaining independent, they were, and still
are, producing replicas
of public schoolboys rather than Pakistanis.
I read Shakespeare, which was fine, but no Allama Iqbal - the national poet
of Pakistan. The class
on Islamic studies was not taken seriously, and when I left school I was
considered among the elite
of the country because I could speak English and wore Western clothes.
Despite periodically shouting 'Pakistan Zindabad' in school functions, I
considered my own culture
backward and religion outdated. Among our group if any one talked about
religion, prayed or kept a
beard he was immediately branded a Mullah.
Because of the power of the Western media, our heroes were Western movie
stars or pop stars. When I
went to Oxford already burdened with this hang up, things didn't get any
easier. At Oxford, not just
Islam, but all religions were considered anachronism.
Science had replaced religion and if something couldn't be logically proved
it did not exist. All
supernatural stuff was confined to the movies. Philosophers like Darwin, who
with his half-baked
theory of evolution had supposedly disproved the creation of men and hence
religion, were read and
revered.
Moreover, European history reflected its awful experience with religion. The
horrors committed by
the Christian clergy during the Inquisition era had left a powerful impact
on the Western mind.
To understand why the West is so keen on secularism, one should go to places
like Cordoba in Spain
and see the torture apparatus used during the Spanish Inquisition. Also the
persecution of
scientists as heretics by the clergy had convinced the Europeans that all
religions are regressive.
However, the biggest factor that drove people like me away from religion was
the selective Islam
practiced by most of its preachers. In short, there was a huge difference
between what they
practiced and what they preached. Also, rather than explaining the
philosophy behind the religion,
there was an overemphasis on rituals.
I feel that humans are different to animals. While, the latter can be
drilled, humans need to be
intellectually convinced. That is why the Qur'an constantly appeals to
reason. The worst, of course,
was the exploitation of Islam for political gains by various individuals or
groups.
Hence, it was a miracle I did not become an atheist. The only reason why I
did not was the powerful
religious influence my mother wielded on me since my childhood. It was not
so much out of conviction
but love for her that I stayed a Muslim.
However, my Islam was selective. I accepted only parts of the religion that
suited me. Prayers were
restricted to Eid days and occasionally on Fridays, when my father insisted
on taking me to the
mosque with him.
All in all I was smoothly moving to becoming a Pukka Brown Sahib. After all
I had the right
credentials in terms of school, university and, above all, acceptability in
the English aristocracy,
something that our brown sahibs would give their lives for. So what led me
to do a 'lota' on the
Brown Sahib culture and instead become a 'desi'?
Well it did not just happen overnight.
Firstly, the inferiority complex that my generation had inherited gradually
went as I developed into
a world-class athlete. Secondly, I was in the unique position of living
between two cultures. I
began to see the advantages and the disadvantages of both societies.
In Western societies, institutions were strong while they were collapsing in
our country. However,
there was an area where we were and still are superior, and that is our
family life. I began to
realize that this was the Western society's biggest loss. In trying to free
itself from the
oppression of the clergy, they had removed both God and religion from their
lives.
While science, no matter how much it progresses, can answer a lot of
questions - two questions it
will never be able to answer: One, what is the purpose of our existence and
two, what happens to us
when we die?
It is this vacuum that I felt created the materialistic and the hedonistic
culture. If this is the
only life then one must make hay while the sun shines - and in order to do
so one needs money. Such
a culture is bound to cause psychological problems in a human being, as
there was going to be an
imbalance between the body and the soul.
Consequently, in the US, which has shown the greatest materialistic progress
while giving its
citizens numerous rights, almost 60 percent of the population consult
psychiatrists. Yet, amazingly
in modern psychology, there is no study of the human soul. Sweden and
Switzerland, who provide the
most welfare to their citizens, also have the highest suicide rates. Hence,
man is not necessarily
content with material well being and needs something more.
Since all morality has it roots in religion, once religion was removed,
immorality has progressively
grown since the 70s. Its direct impact has been on family life. In the UK,
the divorce rate is 60
percent, while it is estimated that there are over 35 percent single
mothers. The crime rate is
rising in almost all Western societies, but the most disturbing fact is the
alarming increase in
racism. While science always tries to prove the inequality of man (recent
survey showing the
American Black to be genetically less intelligent than whites) it is only
religion that preaches the
equality of man.
Between 1991 and 1997, it was estimated that total immigration into Europe
was around 520,000, and
there were racially motivated attacks all over, especially in Britain,
France and Germany. In
Pakistan during the Afghan war, we had over four million refugees, and
despite the people being so
much poorer, there was no racial tension.
There was a sequence of events in the 80s that moved me toward God as the
Qur'an says: "There are
signs for people of understanding." One of them was cricket. As I was a
student of the game, the
more I understood the game, the more I began to realize that what I
considered to be chance was, in
fact, the will of Allah. A pattern which became clearer with time. But it
was not until Salman
Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" that my understanding of Islam began to develop.
People like me who were living in the Western world bore the brunt of
anti-Islam prejudice that
followed the Muslim reaction to the book. We were left with two choices:
fight or flight. Since I
felt strongly that the attacks on Islam were unfair, I decided to fight. It
was then I realized that
I was not equipped to do so as my knowledge of Islam was inadequate. Hence I
started my research and
for me a period of my greatest enlightenment. I read scholars like Ali
Shariati, Muhammad Asad,
Iqbal, Gai Eaton, plus of course, a study of Qur'an.
I will try to explain as concisely as is possible, what "discovering the
truth" meant for me. When
the believers are addressed in the Qur'an, it always says, "Those who
believe and do good deeds." In
other words, a Muslim has dual function, one toward God and the other toward
fellow human beings.
The greatest impact of believing in God for me, meant that I lost all fear
of human beings. The
Qur'an liberates man from man when it says that life and death and respect
and humiliation are God's
jurisdiction, so we do not have to bow before other human beings.
Moreover, since this is a transitory world where we prepare for the eternal
one, I broke out of the
self-imposed prisons, such as growing old (such a curse in the Western
world, as a result of which,
plastic surgeons are having a field day), materialism, ego, what people say
and so on. It is
important to note that one does not eliminate earthly desires. But instead
of being controlled by
them, one controls them.
By following the second part of believing in Islam, I have become a better
human being. Rather than
being self-centered and living for the self, I feel that because the
Almighty gave so much to me, in
turn I must use that blessing to help the less privileged. This I did by
following the fundamentals
of Islam rather than becoming a Kalashnikov-wielding fanatic.
I have become a tolerant and a giving human being who feels compassion for
the underprivileged.
Instead of attributing success to myself, I know it is because of God's
will, hence I learned
humility instead of arrogance.
Also, instead of the snobbish Brown Sahib attitude toward our masses, I
believe in egalitarianism
and strongly feel against the injustice done to the weak in our society.
According to the Qur'an,
"Oppression is worse than killing." In fact only now do I understand the
true meaning of Islam, if
you submit to the will of Allah, you have inner peace.
Through my faith, I have discovered strength within me that I never knew
existed and that has
released my potential in life. I feel that in Pakistan we have selective
Islam. Just believing in
God and going through the rituals is not enough. One also has to be a good
human being. I feel there
are certain Western countries with far more Islamic traits than us in
Pakistan, especially in the
way they protect the rights of their citizens, or for that matter their
justice system. In fact some
of the finest individuals I know live there.
What I dislike about them is their double standards in the way they protect
the rights of their
citizens but consider citizens of other countries as being somehow inferior
to them as human being,
e.g. dumping toxic waste in the Third World, advertising cigarettes that are
not allowed in the West
and selling drugs that are banned in the West.
One of the problems facing Pakistan is the polarization of two reactionary
groups. On the one side
is the Westernized group that looks upon Islam through Western eyes and has
inadequate knowledge
about the subject. It reacts strongly to anyone trying to impose Islam in
society and wants only a
selective part of the religion. On the other extreme is the group that
reacts to this Westernized
elite and in trying to become a defender of the faith, takes up such
intolerant and self-righteous
attitudes that are repugnant to the spirit of Islam.
What needs to be done is to somehow start a dialogue between the two
extreme. In order for this to
happen, the group on whom the greatest proportion of our educational
resources are spent in this
country must study Islam properly.
Whether they become practicing Muslims or believe in God is entirely a
personal choice. As the
Qur'an tells us there is "no compulsion in religion." However, they must arm
themselves with
knowledge as a weapon to fight extremism. Just by turning up their noses at
extremism the problem is
not going to be solved.
The Qur'an calls Muslims "the middle nation", not of extremes. The Holy
Prophet (peace be upon him)
was told to simply give the message and not worry whether people converted
or not, therefore, there
is no question in Islam of forcing your opinions on anyone else.
Moreover, we are told to respect other religions, their places of worship
and their prophets. It
should be noted that no Muslim missionaries or armies ever went to Malaysia
or Indonesia. The people
converted to Islam due to the high principles and impeccable character of
the Muslim traders. At the
moment, the worst advertisements for Islam are the countries with their
selective Islam, especially
where religion is used to deprive people of their rights. In fact, a society
that obeys fundamentals
of Islam has to be a liberal one.
If Pakistan's Westernized class starts to study Islam, not only will it be
able to help society
fight sectarianism and extremism, but it will also make them realize what a
progressive religion
Islam is. They will also be able to help the Western world by articulating
Islamic concepts.
Recently, Prince Charles accepted that the Western world can learn from
Islam. But how can this
happen if the group that is in the best position to project Islam gets its
attitudes from the West.
Islam is a universal religion and that is why
our Prophet (peace be
upon him) was called a Mercy for all mankind. (Internews)

One day, Wayne Rooney wanted to prove to his fiance Coleen McLoughlin that he was not dumb. So he decided he was going to paint the house while she was out shopping.
ReplyDeleteWhen Coleen got home, she noticed that he was digging through the closet looking for something. When she asked him what he was doing, he said, "The paint can said, 'for best results to use two coats'."
Do you like Wayne Rooney's new haircut?
ReplyDeleteApparently it happened as the result of a misunderstanding when Playboy offered Colleen a 100 grand to shave her c***
Who gives a shit. Manc's won the double!!!!!!!!! By the way guys, it's ok to take out frustrations early in the season. But when the Manc's say "I told you so" at the end of the season all these Abus will be in sakaraath coz they won't know how the Mancs win AGAIN
