If Usman Khawaja's family hadn't migrated to Australia, he probably would be a Mudarris in Masood Azhar's madrasa in Muridke and would have seen a BrahMos coming towards him on 07 May 2025 as his last visual.
Lucky for him, his family migrated. Australia gave him education, security, rule of law, equal citizenship, and a global platform. His career, wealth, and public standing are entirely products of a Western liberal democracy.
And yet, from that position of safety, Khawaja lectures Australia on inclusivity, minority rights, and moral conduct, while maintaining a studied silence on his country of origin Pakistan, a country where minorities are not debating โrepresentationโ but fighting for basic survival: lynchings under blasphemy laws, forced conversions, sexual violence, and institutionalised religious apartheid.
And Khawaja is not an exception. Malala Yousafzai, boxer Amir Khan, Mayor Sadiq Khan, minister Shabana Mahmood, and all Pakistani follow the same script: build lives and influence in the West, enjoy freedoms created precisely by strong minority protections, then deploy that platform to scold Western societies, while carefully avoiding the rot at home.
If your moral voice goes silent exactly where speaking up carries consequences, then your values arenโt universal but transactional. And once morality becomes transactional, no lecture on inclusivity deserves to be taken seriously.
Australian Cricketer Usman Khawaja:
- Born in Islamabad.
- Parents moved to Australia when he was four.
- Married a white Christian girl and converted her to Islam.
- Have two muslim children.
- Played 88 Test matchs for Australia which many Christian players don't.
- Earned Millions. Lives life which is better than majority of the Australians.
- Used his retirement speech to take aim at โright wing" opinions and defended illegal immigration
- Usman could have thanked Australia and its people but he chose to complain. Typical Pakistani behaviour. Just keep taking, never give back.
Apart from Shane Warne, it is hard to think of a cricketer as beloved as Andrew Symonds. If there were racial barriers in Australian cricket as Usman suggests, why wasnโt Symonds subject to it?
It'd be nice to hear a thank you for once.
Just once.
Just some microscopic ounce of gratitude for playing a game you love, being well paid , in one of the best countries on Earth.
Just once.๐ค๐ค
Slogans on his cricket boots saved thousands of lives in Gaza and also kept Australians safe.
Thank you Usman.
Racism almost stopped you from playing 88 tests and making millions hitting the little red ball.
Youโve shown that without you, Australia would be a terrible place.
I shouldโve been born a fucking Somalian.
Iโd never have to work and would be a millionaire just off fraud.
The only problem is Iโd have a 68 IQ and a head the shape of a lightbulb.
Iโd be a retard and probably an inbred, but Iโd be a rich inbred retard.
