Pakistan’s victory against India is the victory of Islam: Pakistan Minister Sheikh Rasheed

Pakistan's Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed made a bizarre comment on Monday, saying that all Muslims throughout the world, including Indian Muslims, are rejoicing after Pakistan won a T20I by 10 wickets for the first time.

"Pakistan's triumph against India is a victory of Islam. All Muslims throughout the world, especially Muslims in India, are rejoicing."

This declaration follows Mohammad Rizwan and skipper Babar Azam's outstanding performance. At the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Pakistan defeated India by 10 wickets.

In his message to the national squad, Sheikh Rasheed stated that Pakistan's true T20 World Cup final was tonight versus India.

"Today's match has a different level of excitement than any previous match in the World Cup," he remarked, praying for Pakistan's triumph.

It was Pakistan's first-ever 10-wicket triumph over any opponent in a T20, while India also suffered the humiliation of losing by such a large margin.

Pakistan won their first T20 World Cup match against India since 2007 when India won the first event by defeating Pakistan in the final.

Pakistan took first place in the 2009 edition.

Bit of the Shoab Malik syndrome circa the 2007 World Cup.

"I would like to thank all the Muslims for supporting us" or some such, when Irfan Pathan was Man of the Match in that game.

Then again, we have ghaas-phoos Sanghis on our side of the border and they would have said something just as daft if we had won. So we're no one to complain.

 

[pakistani pride]

OK, as said several time before when our certain folks in Pak open their mouth, please our dear Indian friends just ignore them.

Pathetic statement.

 

[Thanos]

Then what happens when Pak win against Bangladesh? Islam defeats Islam?

The thing is muslims in our country have a hard time as it is, they don't need Pakistanis adding fuel to the situation everytime India lose against Pakistan when they bring Islam and Indian muslims into their statements..

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Just have to ignore this guy and move on. Not really bright comments from a minster but Indians should be complaining last as they have equally bad nutcases

 

[cricketjoshila]

Ok Mr Rashid.

 

[baggy blue]

i like pakistan cricket team but this. this is the reason why i will not support them. mixing religion everywhere.

Its OK. We have such people from both the sides.

But let's just for argument sake (and a bit of fun) take the statement in to context.

11 Muslims pak team vs 1 Muslim Indian team.....

So Islamic element is 100% in pak team where as in case of India it will be 9%.

He has a point though.

Pakistani players showed a lot of respect to Dhoni. In the field, I think the appreciation is immense from both the sides.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Pakistani politicians are the most cringe politicians from any country.

The ones who talk about Islam couldn't even recite you the basics of Islam.

Sheikh Rashid has really demonstrated his stupidity here.

 

[Jeetlodil]

This is a horrible statement. This has to be disowned and corrected. Especially about India.

 

[mazkhan]

Pti fans will try to take credit for this victory .

Eventhough under their administration the amount of bongiyan statements, psl bubble debacle has nearly buried pakistan cricket under 6ft of concrete

 

[pillionrider]

lol this guy ...
I'm guessing he didn't notice the blatantly obvious Muslims in the crowd who were waving Indian flags (caps/niqab). Does he believe Indian Muslims only pretend to not care about Pakistan out of fear of Hindu right-wingers. But the Indian Muslims abroad should feel safe right, to let out their true feelings

Thing with these politicians is, nothing is innocent. He most likely doesn't care a damn about Indian Muslims or probably even Islam. All he wants to do is stir up things and create further divide. Pretty much like his equivalent ilk, this side of the border.

 

[IMMY69]

I haven't even heard or read the statement... if true what an idiot.

 

[Varun]

Why does Imran Khan have such people on his team anyway?

Is the BJP his role model?

 

[90MPH]

What an embarrassing statement. Why bring religion into it ?

Why on earth Imran hired this buffoon I have no idea.

He has a long history of incompetence.

 

[dhump]

Politicians on both side of the border are equally idiot some more than the other. This “Loota” is a famous idiot who is known for supporting all kinds of extremists and Imran Khan is also a politician so he is not behind anyone else.

That being said the solution is to stop putting the microphone in mouth of these idiots.

 

[asadee]

Bewaqoofana bayan

 

[Major]

Not surprised. The pti govt has become religion focussed ever since elections are coming near. They will tty to appease to the religious people.

Sheikh rasheed is the biggest joker from pindi politics ever produce and likes to make such dukb statements.

People saying ignore him, he is the interior minister. How can such statements be ignored? The feelings are shared at the central govt

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

My heartiest congratulations to my Pakistani friends. I’ve said this earlier also. Stunning victory that should make us in India retrospect. And yeah I hate losing to you, but you won in style. Like a boss.

But please don’t call it the victory of Islam, I beg you. Because that way lies madness amd complete chaos.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

So far in world cup history according to Sheikh Sahib ..Islam has taken many beatings and has only won the world cup once, compared to the numeorus times Christians and Hindus have won the trophy

This was actually the first thought that came to my mind. What a counterproductive statement if there was one.

Don't confuse fans with dumb statements by politicians looking to score useless points.

 

[Finisher]

Seen this interview live yesterday.

PTI members watched the match with officials from the U.A.E government, one of Emirates said it was a victory for all muslims or something along them lines

 

[Bewal Express]

Sh Rashid making a dumb statement. Enjoy the moment but don't turn into anything more

 

[Saj]

Sometimes it's best to stay quiet.

Seems far too many politicians have too much to say.
