What a mature response from a young man. Enough to shame any critic into retrospection. Inshallah all the best to him, studying so much can be a drag, even in uni.. especially doing med..

So being Afghan and having an immaculate academic record is reasonable enough grounds for suspicion of ‘terrorist’ sympathies? Maybe Ansar al Zindiqi could go and put himself out of his misery.

This is hardly reassuring since so many terrorist suspects just so happen to have immaculate academic records. Maybe Saheem Hasmat should start thinking about that when he strokes his beard.

“So just to clarify that it is the same thing but I suppose we human choose to believe in God in different ways ”

When he was imprisoned in World War I Bertrand Russell put down “atheist” as his religion. “Never had one of them,” said the warder “But I suppose we all worship the same god in our own way.” Interesting that an intelligent, educated, hard-working- in many ways admirable- young man a century later still thinks in the same way.
