The sons of former Pakistan PM Imran Khan have spoken to Al Jazeera about their father’s worsening health in prison. Kasim and Suleiman Khan are demanding authorities allow access to independent medical treatment.

[Pat Cummins @patcummins30]

Adding my support here to GC and the other former international captains. I hope the court ordered medical assessment be allowed to run its course, and that family visits continue. I hope Imran Khan is treated with the dignity anyone deserves

Pakistan threatened Lord’s Test boycott after broadcaster Sky Sports telecast interview with Imran Khan’s two sons which was actually recorded at the Lord’s Long Room a day before the Test. PCB wanted SKY not to air the interview during Lunch break else they wouldn’t take the field post Lunch.
The 18-min interview done by Michael Atherton (one of the 21 captains to sign the letter to Pak PM) was shown and Pak did take the field too

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

Gov Abbott,

Enough of this xenophobia. Millions of American Muslims live in Texas and contribute to the Lone Star State in countless ways. As a proud, born-and-raised Texan, I find it extremely disappointing to see my governor pander to anti‑Muslim bigotry for cheap political gain.

You know better than this. This is blatant fear-mongering and xenophobic scapegoating. Stop spreading misinformation before your rhetoric causes consequences that will harm innocent people.

The Shariah as practiced by millions of American Muslims cannot be banned — it is protected by the Constitution. I mean the lived Shariah: prayers, rituals, and private conduct shaped by faith, none of which seeks to replace U.S. law (just as halakha guides Jewish Americans and canon law guides Catholics). The 'Shariah' you keep invoking is imaginary. There are no 'Shariah cities' in this state, nor is anyone trying to establish laws other than those of the United States. The only people asserting the existence of 'Shariah cities' are state officials manufacturing a threat to secure votes.

And denying school choice to Muslim families is absolute discrimination. It is blatantly un‑American, and actively fuels hatred against an entire faith. All of my children attended Muslim schools, and my wife teaches at one. There are no radical Muslim schools indoctrinating children in Texas. Shame on those who demonize Muslim children and cynically exploit that fear for political gain.

Governor, I urge you to do better than this. Long after the next election, history will remember your actions, and God will judge you for your sincerity (or lack thereof).

Protect religious freedom—don’t pander to anti‑Muslim bigotry.

Sincerely,

Dr. Yasir Qadhi

I rarely read the filth you publish, and have never responded to it, for the same reason I avoid pornography. It’s unhealthy and I don’t want to encourage it. But in this specific case I understand exactly what you’re doing and I’d like to stop it now. I have never said or suggested that “everyone needs to know where their local Chabad is,” or anything remotely like it. I didn’t attack or even criticize Chabad, an organization I’ve mentioned precisely once in my life. Last week I said I believed that IDF soldiers in Israel have received third temple patches for their uniforms from Chabad. I believe that’s true. Please let me know if I’m wrong, not that you care. The point of your post is to blame me preemptively for violent attacks on American Jews that you believe are coming. This is an absurd slander of course. I abhor violence against innocents, which is why I am disgusted by what Israel has done in Gaza and why I argued against the current war in Iran. As a Christian and an American I also vehemently oppose punishing anyone on the basis of bloodline. The concept of “Amalek” has no place in Western civilization and certainly not in my country. I am therefore strongly opposed to anti-Semitism, precisely as much as I am to the anti-Arab hate you promote or the anti-white bias embedded in the US government and our largest institutions. It’s all immoral and indefensible. I believe in the inherent rights of the individual because I believe in God. What you’re doing divides this country more than you likely understand. I hope you will stop.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

Deeply appreciative of Greg Chappell for raising his voice for my father.

It is heartening to see global cricketing leaders call for dignity and justice while he remains in solitary confinement for nearly 1000 days, having lost approximately 85% of the vision in his right eye, and still denied proper medical care and access to his doctors and family.

Thank you Greg, and all those who have stood beside him.
