[pakistan2009]

In 1995, Imran Khan helped British TV personality Kristiane Backer convert to Islam by introducing her to the religion. She's revealed this to The Independent newspaper. Her story was recently published in a book entitled "From MTV to Mecca, how Islam changed my life."

“I was lost but now I’m found” In the early 1990s Kristiane Backer was one of the very first presenters on MTV (Europe). For some years she lived and breathed the international music scene quickly gaining a cult following amongst viewers and becoming a darling of the European press. As she reached the pinnacle of her success she realized that, despite having all she could have wished for, she was never truly satisfied. Something very important was missing.

Through a fateful meeting with the famous cricketer Imran Khan she travelled to Pakistan where she encountered a completely different world to the one she knew, the religion and culture of Islam. In place of the stars of the pop scene she was meeting men and women whose lives were dominated by the love of God, men and women who cared very little for the brief glories of this world. She began to read the Koran and to study books about the Faith. A few years later (in 1995), after travelling more widely in the Islamic world and knowing that she had discovered her spiritual path, she embraced Islam in a London mosque. In this private memoir Kristiane Backer tells the story of her conversion and explains how faith at last gave her inner peace and the meaning she had sought.

Converting some non muslim to muslim is a way to Jannat. This nation should be thankful to God that has given them an opportunity to progress and prosperous. How lucky one nation can be who has a Rehber like IK..

There are so many PMLN lovers on this site but i have not seen very many threads started by their side explaining the agenda or good things their party will do or has done for this country. They just bash PTI threads and find faults and when ever someone asks them anything about the honesty of their leadership they will start finding bad things in IK instead of answering the question. What does it tell you....... i am sure everyone understands what i want to say.

Now Lota League will try to dig up her old pictures when she was not a Muslim and wearing western clothing, they are best at attacking someone's personal life with 20 year old pictures and creating lies to defame their opponents.

mashallah what a great man who can inspire people not only mently but also spirtually what leader he will be once we give him a chance,

imran khan is now not only a politician but a philosopher, and thinker, and intercultul of highest caliber, i invite people to read history of the world any nation who had a leader like that, who was just not a politician but also also a thinker, and intelectual those nations made great progress in a very short and quick time.

chairman mao, of china, is one example

jinnah and allama iqbal was other example but one of them did not get chance at all and other got only for a year

imagine if allama iqbal or jinnah sahib had got chance for 10 years like chairman mao where pakistan would stand today in the world?

but we must not miss this opportunity where Allah has given us imran khan. if we miss that oppertunity we will do crime to ourself and whole nation. so kindly rise above the difference and support imran khan
