Which Road will the Pope Take? Re: # 13

Bringing in the history or present situation of either India or Pakistan into this article, which has no connection to it whatsoever, is lame. Only people who can offer no useful argument to this discussion would come up with something like this.

Re: #18

There is no connection to Islamic extremism in this article. Its kind of sad, that I just wrote an article about the new Pope and whatever little I have heard of him but people turned to something else. What you say or feel about Pakistanis is just how YOU feel. You would like to think that Pakistanis have no credibility. The scenario is totally different actually, but you would disagree with that for obvious reasons.

In any case, it is irrelevant if I am Pakistani or Indian or Arab or Persian. Its what I said matters, and nothing else. Period

Which Road will the Pope Take? Most people here are unable to get out of their narrow-mindedness to discuss something that is very legitimate and something that is also being debated in many other places; and guess what, alot of those places are non-Muslim.

I am surprised at the majority of the membership here at chowk. I am new here and on first look chowk has some very good articles on its website. Too bad the members don`t quite understand the quality of writing here. They can`t get themselves out of the religious and racial hatred/intolarence that surrounds their thought process. Its a pity.

Which Road will the Pope Take? Ohh so u mean to say that Muslims shd not debate criticize their own leaders and Christians shd also always back theirs even when they are wrong? If something is factual then it shd be supported, no matter what.

The Genius of a Giant It is a little tricky to compare to players of different eras. Miandad had better players around him but he also faced tougher bowling attacks on more bowler-friendly conditions and still maintained an outstanding average and bailed Pakistan out on many occassions. I would probably rate him over Inzamam, but I can`t be too sure.

Which Road will the Pope Take? 1. There is enough outrage over Islamic fundamentalists within Islamic countries and outside. A massive number of articles have been written in this context, even on this forum. I find it appalling for people to ignore that.

2. I have my reservations against this new Pope, which may or may not be cleared depending on his agendas. I sure hope they do!

3. We are not discussing Islamic extremists and their activities here, because it is an oft-discussed issue. I find it appalling that some people are not open to open discussions about such high-profile religious personalities. I am sure if this article was about a corrupt/extremist Islamic leader, a lot of people would have voiced a positive opinion.

Which Road will the Pope Take? Re: # 1

So, what exactly is your point? In this article have I looked to defend Muslim priests who preach hatred or am I taking their side?? Hell no. Yes there are some Muslim priests and organziations that preach hatred, but two wrongs don`t make a right. 99% of Muslim population doesn`t reflect those attitudes. I was just saying how this new pope apparently is and the things he has said in the past. My article is based on facts. And if you can`t accept facts, it tough.

Basit was a great prospect, no question. But u cant compare a batsman who has played 2-3 years to a batsman who has played for almost 15 years.

Yes Fizza, i somehow forgot to post cumulative runs in Inzy`s ODI and test career. I was probably too caught up with the some intriguing details about his career. But thank you all for the encouragement!
