By Sikander Hayat Rupert Murdoch’s tabloid press who should better be called “ blackmailing phone hackers ” are at it again. The gutter press like News of The World & The Sun are waging a campaign of misinformation against Pakistan cricket team . These are the same “newspapers” that get dragged into courts for many false stories and absolute lies. Phone hacking of parliamentarians is just one example of that. These newspapers hunt down Pakistanis every time this team visits England. Be it the false unproven allegations of ball tempering or match fixing. In their view of the world, England can never lose fairly and especially against Pakistan. There must be something corrupt about an England defeat to Pakistan. Pakistan cricket team pays the price for English press’s hatred against the Pakistanis especially & Muslims in general who are living in United Kingdom. The press spew venom at Muslims anytime it wants. For example today’s main headline in Express newspaper

By Sikander Hayat Dr Imran Farooq has been murdered in london. At the moment details of the events leading to his death are not known. London police has started their investigation and have cordoned off the area in question. His death raises very important questions immediately. 1. Was this an assassination or a robbery gone bad? 2.

By Sikander Hayat Germany like all of the main western European countries is going through an identity crisis. German football team which in the past rarely had a player from non German background in now full of players whose parents descend from different parts of the world. This applies to the whole German society, where Turkish immigrants and their children are now visible in all walks of life. Fatherland, which was once all Germanic has now some Turkish blood running through its veins. Just like when human body is introduced to blood from outside and it takes time to adjust to this new arrival, German body is trying to come to terms with this foreign blood. This is going to be the deciding factor of the 21st century that are we going to see a peaceful transition from a world where countries/societies are nearly ethnically homogeneous to a world where no country will remain "pure". Germany and for that matter all major countries of the world must know that if the wea

By Sikander Hayat This whole episode has done so much damage to Muslims in USA & especially in New York that it may be too late now to repair it by cancelling the project. It will still be a wise choice to not go ahead with it and join hands with the people who oppose it. Take them on-board and get their suggestion to where to relocate this Islamic centre . If this consultation happens, then there still be a chance of salvation for the relations which have become so fraught that people like pastor terry Jones who have never read the Quran, want to burn it to display their hatred for Muslims across the world. Also the people who are against the building of this Islamic centre should understand that by campaigning against the proposed centre they are equating Muslims with the perpetrator of 9/11 who in my view were and are the scum of this earth and their actions had nothing to do with Islam. It is therefore in the interest of both sides of the argument to see the sense and
