ISLAMABAD: A handful of Pakistani Muslim youths are beginning to question the existence of God and in the process giving up Islam to become atheists.
Still a small number, the trend seems to be telling of pressures that the image of militant Islam has had on them. A Facebook group has been floated for Pakistan's agnostics and atheists by Hazrat NaKhuda, a former Pakistani Muslim.
At last count, the group had over a 100 members. In a thread started on the discussion board on "How did you become an atheist", Hazrat writes, "I used to be a practicing Muslim. I used to live in Saudi Arabia. I have done two Hajs and countless Umrahs. Used to pray five times a day. When I turned 17-18, I realized that the only reason I was a Muslim was because my parents were Muslims".

He may have not got trapped but he certainly got trapped in ball chewing.
I appreciate Afridi for not falling into this trap..ball chewing is another matter,his individual onfield choice,but betting is a wide spread menace...
But I feel betting cocks-a-snook at ICC and boards under it an makes individual players rich..
..whether betting or no betting,these days India is not able to win even against Srilanka and India has been consisten loser in finals,and did not even rich high up in T20 world cup..
As such cricket should be banned in India and other sports like football,basketball,volleyball,hockey type short and manly games should be promoted...
