Mohammad Yousuf: A tribute

C`mon.. Chowk hasn`t been able to find better than this trash to publish?

FV has several flaws, but mediocre selection was not one of them. Bring her back!!

Very well summed up thing... although i see most of the people here have bashed you but the number of evil will always surpass by the number of righteous... Thats the lesson Islam teaches and thats the test true Muslim faces... ``Alas! why these people don`t ponder without prejudice``

For Pakistan -- it appears that Islam has become a debilitating disease that afflicts every aspects of its rationality. How tragic!

this proves that the secrets to championship cricketing are also in Holy Qoran and in Holy beard -- and in conversion to become a champion `Naumuslim`.

Now -- considering the utterly dismal performance of the `old` Muslims all over the world -- my suggestion would be -- that all born loser muslims should first convert to become `poor Christian family` -- and then reconvert to become bearded `naumuslims` champions once again -- ``bahre Zulmaat meiN daura diye ghoray hum nay``........to rule the world again .......how about that?

It was a wonderful cricketing achievement and full credit to him--all Pakistanis should be proud. Although I am happy at his conversion to Islam, and he is no doubt very devout, that has NOTHING to do with his cricketing excellence at all.

It is stupid to link the two. They are not related. Saqlain Mushtaq is also very devout and a owner of a big beard too--but he is washed out as a cricketer. Muslims who try to find links where there are none do their religion a big disservice.

At the same time, people who put his conversion down to materialistic reasons are just being spiteful and mean and are not worth responding to. To these silence is the best answer.

What a ridiculous attempt at finding non-existing links between a cricketer`s form and his change of religion! Did Brian Lara make the highest test score because he is a Christian? Is Sachin`s tally of the most test centuries because he is a Hindu?

I find it amazing that there are millions upon millions of Muslims by birth who take their faith for granted, some openly mock it and here is a man who was born in a poor Christian family in a society where minorities tend to stick together (that’s why you hardly see any reversions in Muslim societies as compared to the west), reached the heights of stardom and financial bliss but still felt that emptiness that Rock star Cat Stevens, Mohammad Ali, Malik al-shahbaz Malcom X, Junaid Jamshed and 20,000 Americans every year amongst others encounter and eventually found the solace in Islam.

WHATEVER........... Dude do you think he converted because he thought that Islam was the RIGHT religion?????? NEWS FLASH!!!!!! He wants to become the captain of the team and being a Mashi would not get him there, the same way being a Mashi does not let you go over the ranks of a Major in the Army or a high ranked officer in a govt. or a top job at any private company. So spare me the shit of him finding the solace he has just proved that he is more interested in money than anything else.

TRUST me of this information because I worked for the media managers for the entire cricket in Pakistan and have seen his hungry Punjabi ass begging us for an LG washing machine. He is as materialistic as you an me however he is smart in knowing how to get want he wants even if it is to change his religion.

[...No wonder then Yosuf is playing now like a weight has been lifted off of his shoulder. ...]

Have you considered the possiblity that Yosuf was facing a miserable life as a minority in Pakistan? If an average educated person from Pakistan like yourself makes such a big deal about religion, how can any minority live a normal life there? The only weight lifted off his shoulder was the weight of being a persecuted minority.

Anyway, congrats for getting the n+1th convert or ``revert`` to your religion. Hope someone up there actually keeps score.

On the flip side, maybe the Indian team needs to ``revert`` to Islam as well, given the way these jokers are playing these days.
