LETTER TO JEMIMA KHAN

Some questions after seeing a heading on facebook:

"We want Jemima Khan to be the next first lady of Pakistan's Wall"

Dear Jemima Khan:

The Muslim community as well as I greatly admire your leap of faith into the Muslim religion, which in my opinion is a very brave and bright advance in the right direction with a little help from only one person that would be Imran Khan. I have admired your husband’s cricket playing for many years and watched the world cup of 1992 with great interest; I have also watched the Sharja Cup of 1986 where your husband was the captain in a great match against arch rival India.I’m curious about some decisions you’ve made in your life and would like to know what convinced you to become a Muslim? And how is your commitment to the Islamic faith today? Not to be very personal but you being a public figure and former wife of a rising political figure, I would like to say I don’t know the reasons surrounding your divorce with cricketer Imran Khan. If you as a person couldn’t foresee the outcome of your marriage with a playboy husband, who still maintains his Muslim faith; despite degradation of character due to womanizing, how’re you going to be the next first lady, leader, of a nuclear country? Your marriage being annulled with Imran Khan would in the Muslim community be foreseen as a lack of commitment and responsibility. Also some of your critics indicate that you’re a Jew and planted by the Jewish lobby to abolish Pakistan’s nuclear ambition. What is your comment regarding this issue?

Since your former faith establishes a great deal of insight and relations into the Jewish community, what changes have you passionately tried to bring to the people in your inner circle? Also were there any habits that were hard to quit like alcoholism after becoming a Muslim (i.e. if you used alcohol in the past)? I would also like to know what is your stand on the Palestine issue? And what practical steps have you taken for helping the people of Palestine after Imran khan’s appealing conversion of you to Islam?

I also admire you as the mother of Imran’s two beautiful sons trying to raise a family. Do you have any message or do you see yourself as a message of hope for mothers of the Muslim community especially mothers raising families in conflicted areas like Kashmir and Palestine?
