it is just such a typical attitude to criticize jemima`s behaviour..but if today some one saw imran at the beach with a bandee it wod be all OOh s n AAhs...for she gets to be with the legendary..Imran Khan...big bloody deal!! wat they do after there divorce is up to them..the fact remains..she played the role well when his wife i think she was committed..now she is not..who are we to complain..
i dont want to seem harsh...but really it is no ones business who she dates now..

Must we learn and practice every bad thing that white man does. This tabloidism is below human dignity. The privacy of private life of any human being, whether celebrity or sheeda mussalli, is his privilige. Discussing private lives of people in media is like committing the cardinal sin of gheebat on mass scale. `A Muslim is a cover for his Muslim brother` as the hadith goes, but then white man doesn`t do that so we mustn`t do that either. And now that the life of IK is public knowledge, I will probably never vote for him unless he recants the errors of his ways and fulfills his obligations to his daughter Taryan, but I will never rub this fact in his nose either. White man does some very good things too, why don`t we learn those instead. Personally I think very high of Imran; he is a remarkable human being and I think he is a very fortunate person as well because there must be thousands of people who must pray for him everyday whose loved ones benefited from his great act of kindness of building SK Hospital. My prayrs are with him as well.

This from Iran Regional power board is apt here as well.


``Sure to flush out near-muslims, margarine muslims, Haraamkhore muslims , munaafique muslims and the westernised scum.
Put up the tik-tiky and release the Jallaads.``


Its working!

The real issue is why this zaani is roaming around free? Why are not women`s groups ( ngo`s--the westernised scum) not demanding the same punishments meted out to adultresses elsewhere. How come the hookers-for-Bookers have nothing bad to write about this greatest of the treat-woman-as-sex-object mantras.
Clinton good good, Imran khan good good--harem men bad bad, 4-wives man bad bad.

Is`nt it surprisingly refreshing that now there is no more gloat-posts about haraamkaree ( nudge nudge wink wink: `` don`t ask me for details about my carribbean cruise``), and Haramkhorees ( merlots? ah! the weed: `` but I`m a maaadren muslim. do goraa stuff often``)

Its working!

The tik-tikki is always a great deterrant. Public humiliartion is a must & in a muslim society it is important that such behaviour is never exhibited with deeda-dilairee , let alone taking pride in it. Like rishvat in na-pakistan.

as I said : Lukhh laanut on pidr-sokhtaas.

echo sahib - I think you are being too harsh on Imran. A poor man taking his cancer ridden mother to the Shaukat Khanum hospital will not pause and reflect on Imran`s personal life. He has done more for pakistan by that one act of building a hospital than many of who lead a puritanical life without any acts of charity that benefit the less fortunate.

You should calm down, for God`s sakes or I am pretty sure that a vein will bust in your temple soon. ghussa haraam hay - shouldn`t that be enough for you; why you transgress then?

Urstruly, Khamkhwa, and malik99:

[khamkhwa: How can you be wrong? The entire nation has been pidr-sokhtaaed post 9/11--1948; The pidrs really never left. Some consider it an honour, some do`nt. ]

Urstruly: Your advice is valuable & appreciated. Amr bil maroof, & nihi al munkir is a good reminder. Thanks again.

Malik99: ditto as above.

Thanks guys but it is NOT about the person per se. It is about the selectivity with which people are treated in our society.

It is westernised-trash in Pakistan which holds all the keys to power through its club, gymkhana
and army-stores mentality. How many of these do-gooder foreign funded and blessed ones decide to ask for divorce because the husband a rishvat-khore. In fact the westernised-trash particularly seeks those in marriage who has ooper-kee amadni & has alien-looks.

Maulana Sattar Edhi (shrugged shoulder) is g--ooo-d too; but Imraan Khaan, bhaee vah vah.[ angraiz kaa bachaa lagtaa hai]

Sameena,

Some Pakistanis are taking this Imran-Jemima issue personally for two reasons -

a. Imran is there hero who led Pakistan in Cricket and represents the jaanbaaz Pakistani male. Hence his rejection is interpreted as a rejection of Pakistan.

b. Jemima had embraced conservative islamic behavior which she has now renounced. If she had left Imran but maintained a conservative behavior it would have been ok. But she has gone to other extreme - from the burqa to the bikini. This is being interpreted as a rejection of Islam by her.

Hence the constant heartburn on this matter, although it is obvious that she just dumped an older has-been and returned back to her roots. This is natural behavior for goris. Basically Imran overestimated himself with her. Any discerning desi male knows that you can have all the fun with goris and ABCDs before marriage but you never, ever marry them, because they have no concept of loyalty and will leave you if times are bad. Imran thought he was special...poor guy!!

How can you write what you wrote?!

``Any discerning desi male knows that you can have all the fun with goris and ABCDs before marriage but you never, ever marry them, because they have no concept of loyalty and will leave you if times are bad. Imran thought he was special...poor guy!!``

Women born in the US are more independent but that doesn`t mean they can`t be loyal when the times are bad! Some ABCD girls are everybit as `cultured` as those back home.

malik99:
There are ``rumours`` about hospital too. I`ve talked to people who have had the experience of this ``charity`` treatment.

Cancer ranks far lower in a country where fear for life, suicides, malaria , typhoid and so many other poor man`s diseases , especially those of children, should be a priprity. Is it not a shame that children are being sent to India for cheaper treatment?

One day this will come out as well. Seta Whites case is less about his proclivities but more about his characterless dead-beat dad `performance`. Such person should never ever been entrusted with any donation money or power-position. He is a duBBaa-peer in a west-striped mind.

I hope and pray that I`m wrong.

Giving some benefit of doubt I sometimes get the feeling that the purpose for the hospital might have other angles with other than medical benefits for the nation. Acquiring super- technology being one of them.

echoboom:

desis thrive on rumours

there are rumours about everybody in pakistan...the list includes edhi, burney, this maulana and that maulvi...

the fact that cannot be denied is that he raised that institution and it is thriving providing medical cae to those in need...

there are some religious institutions that also provide medical care to the needy...free dispensaries and consultation and medicines...along with providing training for misguided and bigoted jihadis...but nothing on imran khan`s scale...and there is a lot of talk about the double life of the founders of those madresas too!

echo

you remind of the father who admonishes his son by saying ``abey haramzaday ab gaali di tau zubaan kaat dooN ga``.

I wouldn`t beleive the ``rumors`` about the hospital whatever they are. My own aunt (khaalaaji) lost her battle with cancer in this hospital. I witnessed, this woman who was once the most beautiful girl in our family, lying on that hospital bed like a slab of meat, with a bald head and both breasts cut off. This hospital was not only her but our last hope as well. We couldn`t save her but we know that we did all that we could. If it weren`t for Imran Khan we wouldn`t be able to claim that today. If we are not ready to consider Imran a saint yet then the least we can do is to extend the dignity of human being to him.

Plz calm down.

O.K O.k and you did make the point very well. But the purpose was to flush out the usuual suspects and that has been accomplished.

Do you thrive on rumours. Are you a desi?
