#1 Co-incidentally, Pakistan play India in the semifinal of the cricket world cup in about 4 hours time.

I realize Americans won't have heard too much about this, but it is a big deal on the Subcontinent. Hundreds of millions will watch.

There have been rumours of a possible terrorist attack. I will be watching a live stream, so if anything does occur, you will be amoung the first to know.

#2 Cricket *is* un-Islamic, you know, as it involves people frivolously engaging in sports for fun when they could be praying or out burning down a girls' school.

Don't be silly, SteveS. Cricket involves hand-stick-ball coordination and running, both skills necessary to prepare the warrior for jihad. The sword is, after all, merely an edged metal stick, and the infidel head merely an oval ball temporarily attached to an infidel body. The benefit of being able to run is obvious, I think. ;-)
