Imran Khan Niazi (born in Pakistani on November 25, 1952)
This post is in response to: Islam & America: Through the Eyes of Imran Khan.
Why do so many Muslims hate the United States? What has America done to alienate so many people in the Muslim world? These are the questions that former Pakistani cricketer turned politician, Imran Khan, tries to answer in this latest offering of the Unreported World series.
Accidentally I found this blog "Rise of Pakistan" while I was looking for something else, and as stated in the blog's header it is:
An independent, alternative news and information channel: A humble effort to wake up Pakistan through personal and borrowed thoughts. (This blog is maintained by the students and alumni of LUMS)
The following video I got it from Rise of Pakistan's blog. It starts with a dramatic musical introduction while the first images are shown with a group of what appear to be Muslim Pakistanis torching a puppet, and right after Imran Khan starts talking in English with a Pakistan's accent.

After I have read the post and watched the video reportage , I wanted to answer personally to Mr.Imran Khan's questions, but I couldn't really do that for obvious reasons, which were: I didn't know how and where I could have contacted him. So that the only possible alternative I had left was, to write this post with the hope that he could one day read it.
I start it with saying this to Mr. Imran Khan: Do you really believe in everything that you are telling in this video reportage of yours?
Mr. Imran Khan, what about this other questions: why so many peace loving people all over the world are hating Islam, and what Islam has done to alienate so many free minded people? Can you answers them?
Honestly Mr.Khan, I do believe your reportage is biased to disgrace America and its own people.
Mr. Imran Khan, you seem to me a nice and intelligent person, and because of politics I do believe you had to play a role in this reportage. Now I wanted to ask you if deep down in some corners of your subconsciousness, you had ever wondered if Islam is really that good towards all the world-wide faithful Muslims, and if you believe that Islam really is, a religion of peace and tolerance. And finally that there aren't second class citizens such as the diverse, or the women in the Muslim societies because of Islam?
Now I will continue with this post like I've had an imaginary conversation with Mr.Imran Khan's, while using his video transcript from the blog, "Rise of Pakistan".

Q.
Mr. Imran Khan: At Islamabad’s Women’s College, a concert for peace is taking Place. The students are mainly from privileged, middle-class backgrounds. If you were looking for Muslims that sympathised with the West, this would be the first Place you would go. But even here, amongst the more liberal, “Westernised” Pakistanis, anti-American feeling is riding high.
A.
Red: Except this video where a few young people are having some fun with music at Islamabad’s Women’s College, I haven't seen any single real Muslim's manifestation against the many terrorist attacks, or any Muslim in a march for peace and understanding between the cultures of the West and the Middle East.
In the other hand, what I have witnessed in the past years are the many violent protests against Western nations by Muslim radicals. And by the way, if that young lady from the video which is saying that she hasn't seen in practical life any Christian, or Jew manifest for peace and tolerance, then, she hasn't see the world at all.
My dear young lady you better wake up, you probably don't see it but you live in a constrained and obscured world. You probably are living in a very tight perimeter, and I bet you wont go outside the world you well know, or even outside Islamabad where are living Muslim men with long beards and ideas in how a woman should do behave and dress.
Q.
Mr. Imran Khan: “It’s as if one white life was far more important than thousands of black or brown lives,” comments one young, educated, middle-class woman. “They feel they can basically come in, use as they please, and then, when they want, they can just walk across the border, go somewhere else, and do exactly as they please there,” complains another.
A.
Red: This is a nice way to incite hatred between white and any other human race. For sure, this young lady has never been in the United States. The United States has the most heterogeneous groups of peoples living on its soil, than any other Wester nation. And besides that, there is racism in any form and shape in any part of the world, even among whites. So that isn't a valid excuse for her reasoning.
I don't know if this young lady when she was saying “They feel they can basically come in, use as they please, and then..." she was referring to the Americans of when they had invaded Iraq, and some Iraqis had suffered brutal acts by the hands of some sick minded American soldier. If this is the case, then I'm condemning those atrocious acts, as well any other criminal acts committed on civilians by any other army during a wartime.
But in any case, if we compare the American invasion in Iraq with any other invading forces taken from the past history of all humanity, then we will realize that it's almost a standard during a wartime to commit indecent acts against defenseless populations, and because of the quantity and the ferocity perpetrated by these invaders from the past against civilians, you will see that the Americans have had very few incidents of this nature during a war.
