South African cricketer and devout Muslim Hashim Amla discusses the infamous "terrorist" insult from Australian cricket commentator Dean Jones. Amla explains the Islamic way to respond to insults and Islamophobia, and the significance of the beard... Interview with Hashim Amla by Donald McRae for The Guardian, 8 July 2008: Amla: "The teaching of Islam has always been that if somebody apologises, you forgive them. And this is the basis of Islam." McRae: "I think the way you handled it with diplomacy and dignity was perfect, but inwardly it must have hurt a little bit." Amla: "When somebody calls you something it's never nice... but if a person's remorseful for something they did, then who's to judge except the Almighty." *** To hear Dean Jones making the "terrorist" remark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lghAKqJgl0Q *** Cricket basics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9STtcwo0xE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket *** The photos in the video show Hashim Amla in cricket matches with the South African cricket team over the past few years.
