Indian tennis star refuses to play with Israeli

Islamic Tolerance Alert from YnetNews, with thanks to PRCS:

Indian female tennis player Sania Mirza, 19, who is ranked 39th in the world, announced that she would not play with Israeli up and coming tennis star Shahar Pe’er in the doubles tournament of the Bangalore Open for fear of violent protests by India’s Islamic community.

The two friends were prevented from cooperating in last month’s Australian Open for the same reason.

Mirza initially agreed to play with Pe’er in Bangalore, but later retracted, telling Pe’er “It’s best that we don’t play together this
time to prevent protests against my cooperation with an Israeli. There is no reason to arouse their ire (Muslims).”

Yes, there is. If their ire is unjust and bullying, decent people have every reason to arouse it, and to do everything they can to combat that injustice and bullying. But nowadays, virtually the whole world seems willing instead just to play along, give them what they want, to buy a little spurious peace.

They LOVE to see you FEAR, Ms Mirza. It's guaranteed to embolden them.

Remember that as you consider your choices in the face of islamic intimidation.

She's one smart (and rather good lookin', I daresay) gal. The mullahs are sh*tscared about the effect she may have on muzlim girls in middle class homes... What if they also dare to dream, eh?

It's a lot to ask of one Indian girl barely out of her teens, the backbone that so many adult politicians and administrators lack.

Major news organizations won't risk printing cartoons. I have no expectations of a trapped tennis player.

I don't blame Sania. She is under a tremendous amount of pressure. Don't get down on her for this.

One of our patriots, Patrick Henry, asked: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?"

His answer was very different from the one our glorious leaders give us today. Now, it is peace at ANY price.

Yes, there is. If their ire is unjust and bullying, decent people have every reason to arouse it, and to do everything they can to combat that injustice and bullying. - Robert

I'm not exactly a fan of Mirza (what's so great about #39 anyway?), but one should keep in mind her 'escapades' last year. She made her debut in the Australian Open last year, and immediately, the mullahs were howling about her open legs (since one doesn't play tennis wearing a burkha, or even for that matter, a salwar kameez). Late last year, an Indian celebrety (non-Muslim, if one is interested) raised a major outcry when she stated that no educated man should expect his bride to be a virgin. Sania Mirza spoke up in support of that, immediately raising howls from the Mullahs again.

Given that she had bitten off more than she could for the time being chew, I don't blame her for avoiding stepping on this one. For now, it is impressive that she considers the Israeli star a friend, and was willing to consider teaming with him in the first place. As an Indian, I am disappointed at this decision, but for now at least, I wouldn't hold it against her. Muslim girl, Jewish guy, enough to wipe the cartoons off the front pages.

Why do Indian Muslim movie stars not attract the same attention of the Mullahs?

Right now, she's just 19, or 20, but in India, still considered a minor. In the long term, I think that as she becomes more of a celebrity in India, she would have the opportunity to break away from the mullahs. For now, it's too bad that she is trapped in that community.

Her other option - marry an infidel. And watch the mullahs melt down, while they won't have any control on her if she ceases to be Muslim.

We won't have peace in the long run anyway if we give in to threats now.

The "What's next, short skirts?" phrase again comes to mind here. The imams are condemning this girl for wearing short skirts. (They'd be happier if she were running around the court in a burka). And if the imams are able to get the slaves of Allah to riot over cartoons, short skirts may be next.

Now the slaves of Allah are using their threats to promote their anti-Semitism by trying to prevent his young woman from playing tennis with a Jewish athlete. The worst thing that could be done is to give in to these threats.

By giving in to the slaves of Allah like this, we are rewarding them. Rewarding terrorists by giving them what they want only increases the likelihood that they, and others, will engage in more threats and violence in the future. Holding back publication of the Mohammad cartoons rewards the terrorist tactics. This means that Islamists will be further emboldened. They will use their tactics even more, and apply them more broadly.

The slaves of Allah know that, more than anything else, we value human life and our freedoms. Therefore they attack us by threatening and wantonly killing our civilians and by encroaching on our freedoms. They have been using that weapon to their advantage. But the slaves of Allah and their leaders dread, more than anything else, that their precious ideology and their prophet would be made to look bad. We need to use this weapon to our advantage. Every time Muslims make threats or riot, we should massively increase our criticism and lampoon of Islam. We need to have lampoon and criticism of Islam in the MSM regularly. We need to show them the atrocities of Mohammad and the verses of rape, terror, beheadings, imperialism, and hate in the Koran. Unfortunately, the media will not cooperate. They will not do their jobs as investigative journalists, and the comedians and cartoonists are afraid to tackle Islam.

By holding back in the publication of the cartoons, the MSM is contributing to more riots, more threats, more encroachment on our freedoms. Now that the Islamists have been rewarded, their threats and violence will increase in the future. The only way to reduce the Islamic violence in the long run is to present more and more criticism, more and more well-deserved lampoon.

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220: Allah's Apostle said, "…I have been made victorious with terror…”

If you come upon them (infidels), deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah’s enemies.
-- Ishaq:326.

Koran, 8:57: If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember.

We have been dealt a situation from which there is no escape. You have seen what Muhammad has done. Arabs have submitted to him and we do not have the strength to fight. You know that no herd is safe from him. And no one even dares go outside for fear of being terrorized.
-- Tabari IX:42

Koran, 59:13: You [Muslims] are certainly greater in being feared in their hearts than Allah; that is because they are a people who do not understand.

Now we have this, huh? Sania Mirza stands above Islam in everyway possible. They fear her. We here know the difference. I'll not judge her for her stance on this matter, however I see who causes all the strife.

Infidel Pride - The reason Mullahs do not go after Muslim Movie stars in bollywood is because they are MALES - and EVERY single one has married a Hindu girl and converted her to Islam.


Our "Super Prime Minister" is a white Italian Catholic - Sonia Maino (aka Sonia "Gandhi" - widow of late PM Rajiv "Gandhi")

"Muslims have always been our natural allies. We must take steps to ensure them that they hold a special place for us."

Cong goes all out to woo Muslims
http://www.ibnlive.com/article.php?id=5369§ion_id=4
In an internal note, Mrs Gandhi said: "Muslims have always been our natural allies. We must take steps to ensure them that they hold a special place for us."

It came as no surprise that in the recent Cabinet reshuffle, the UPA Government carved out a special Minority Affairs Ministry under veteran Congress Muslim leader AR Antulay.

The crucial amendment in the Foreigners' Act followed. It made deportation of an illegal immigrant really difficult. And now the latest controversy over the survey of minority population in various government institutions has once again raised the issue of vote bank politics, a charge the Congress rejects.

Infidel Pride - your theory about "marry an infidel" does not work in real life
From what I read (not sure whether it is true) the Hindu King of Malaysia married a Muslim girl - hence converted to Islam - hence Malaysia --> Islamic country

Whether you inject then or they inject you - YOU LOSE.

ik, are you the same ik from Gates of Vienna?

OTOH Sania's skirts controversy was covered on DW:http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/008052.php

Why do we always have to appease the Savages? Its like feeding the crocodile, hoping we would be eaten last.

"The reason Mullahs do not go after Muslim Movie stars in bollywood is because they are MALES - "

Shabana Azmi, Dia Mirza, Katrina Kaif etc are Muslim actresses in Bollywood. The reason is the actors dont give a f*ck.

ik:
"and EVERY single one has married a Hindu girl and converted her to Islam."

Malaika Arora (still is a roman catholic)-Arbaaz Khan had a nikaah and a church wedding. Their son was baptised.

Shah Rukh married Gauri Chibber. They have son, Aryan. In an interview, Shah rukh said his son practises at least three religions. Hindu, muslim, christian.

I was asking about female movie stars - like Preity Zinta, or isn't she a Muslim?

She would have even greater clout amongst Muslim girls. Why don't the mullahs target her?

Reason - the backlash would be one even they couldn't handle. Tennis doesn't enjoy that high a profile.

Here is Sania Mirza photo gallery (for voletti):
http://www.sania-mirza.in/photo-gallery.php

Of course she is capitulating. It's like bloody 1938 all over again. "This Hitler chap seems a reasonable fellow. I'm sure if we just talk we'll be fine". Utter nonsense which lead to utter tragedy. A false peace deceiving many is one the Bible's many warnings for these last days. Jacob's trouble, it appears, is not that far off as some would believe.

Vikrant - yes same ik.

desi_singh - Sorry I should modify my statement
"and EVERY single one has married a Hindu girl and converted her to Islam."

here is the modified statement
"and EVERY single one has married a NON Muslim girl and converted her to Islam."

Also about Shah Rukh Khan's statement - I would think twice about believing anything they say. Here is a dialogu from his film where he called Ajanta and Ellora (Hindu/Buddhist/Jain heritage sites) a "Khandhar" (ruins)
http://www.apunkachoice.com/scoop/bollywood/20010411-2.html
Yes I agree that this is from a movie - so we cannot say what he would think in "real life" - but would he call babri masjid a "khandhar" (even if they were) even in a movie

Sorry I did not think about the actresses - but even there
Katrina Kaif is from London - she is viewed differently (http://www.chalo.net/celebrity/katrina_kaif/)
Shabana Azmi is a Islam lover /Hindu hater - she once tried to comment on some matter concerning Muslim women and the Jama Masjid imam called her a "naachne gaanewali tawaif" (google it) - (singing dancing prostitute) - after that she STFU and now she sticks to "uplifting" Hindu women and abusing hindu males about whatever issue is a hand.

I am not sure about Dia Mirza - although your central point still stands - how come the Mullahs do not go after the Muslim actresses?
No it cannot be because the actresses do not care (as the Shabana Azmi incident shows)
I have several "theories" about it - maybe because the actresses are viewed by the average mass as women with loose morals anyway so no need to "reclassify them" - maybe because they are rich - I am not sure

Infidel Pride - Preity Zinta is not a Muslim AFAIK

ik:
"Yes I agree that this is from a movie - so we cannot say what he would think in "real life"

This is what he says in real life.
I call God Allah. My wife, Gauri, calls him Bhagwan. That’s why my children say Ganpati Allah. But they are not confused ... I have Allah and Om in my room.

ik:
"maybe because the actresses are viewed by the average mass as women with loose morals anyway so no need to "reclassify them"

IMHO, it is not only the actresses but the whole of the film industry. With all the news channel's sting operations, 'filmi' people in underworld dealings etc, common folk see through the smokescreen. 'Pseudo-secoolar' creatures are dime aplenty in Bollywood.

ik:
"maybe because they are rich""

Quite likely and very close to what I feel.
