Islam & America: Through the Eyes of Imran Khan - Pakistan

Nov 2001
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.

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.

"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.

The underlying feeling here is clearly that the US only cares or acts when its own people are at risk. If these liberal, cosmopolitan women feel this way about America, how must those who do not benefit from the Western way of life feel?

@jkdobby The military is fine, they r not roped into politics... nor do they want to wage war against its neighbours... Its the Curupt Mother fuckers in the Political system that r bent to the teeth.. Like leeches suckin the country dry.

These r the very cunts, that Imran Khan wants to throw out into the trash can.

Hope you understand.

@KLGALINA22 and what will new world order do...... ??? a true Muslim, doesn't kill, commit to open sex, drugs, gambling etc.. This is the meaning of true Muslim... People that kill for a laugh... commit sins.. are not muslims... Hope u understand..

@opAir01 a 'muslim' would never burn a mosque to the ground nor burn people inside it... Wake up dood... Any body outside the word 'Muslim' .... is a Outsider.....this word called Islamist Extremists is made up to be a christian....

Common sense prevails here... hope u now understand...

[KLGALINA22]

Imran Khan don't preach Islam as a moderate fundamentalist. You are a politician now. Humanity is bigger than any religion including Islam. All these religions are defunct and outdated. New World Order should come. Every religion accepts " GOD IS ONE". God knows HIS ways better than our mullas, pandits or priests. Lets stop all these bull shits. Think now for PAKISTAN rather than ISLAM. I am an Indian. This clip is non sense.

Today, I have decided to leave Islam in protest not because i consider it as a false religion but in protest. In protest of continued rift in Islam's sects & countries that is killing innocents Muslims or more importantly humans. I don't want see 2,8776,7676 Muslims dead in Iran in next coming war & burn my heart. I just don't to see & do nothing in shattered Muslims society that offer no hope of positive change. Atleast, i don't want to see it as Muslim, let me better be Atheist.
