I'll start by saying this:

I'm Muslim, and proudly so.

With that out of the way, to make fun of Amir Khan for invoking God as a way of reasoning him getting KTFO against Prescott is one thing.

However, to make idiotic claims about "His God is a punishing God" is plain laughable because news flash: it's the same God. We call the entity different names, but all Abrahamic faiths share the same deity.

I know, I know, he's an ex-tomato can turned trainer, so he's not exactly well-versed in the nuances of theological matters, but I found this too hysterical not to pass up.

What's he going to say when Khan beats his son ? The "Punishing God" came through for Khan ?

Maybe he should focus on spending more time helping his mediocre soon-to-be gatekeeper son how to survive in the ring instead of spouting bullshit.

As I said when Arum began criticizing Manny for his new demeanor and devotion to his faith, theres some boundaries you do not cross. Faith n religion is one of them. Especially when you dont know wtf ur talking about. Im Christian but I oft listen to knowledge from Muslims regarding religion because it seems less tampered with than my own denomination. Im very unorthodox in my beliefs. I believe in God but I dont believe in the Bible. Well, I dont hold it as a book that God wrote. I believe its a man made advice book based on spirituality. Max, your right, we call our God two different things but he is one in the same. Talk about Khans tactical shortcomings. Going this route only shows me that Garcia wont be able to tactically expose the flaws Freddy Roach fighters routinely come in the ring with.

Well if you are Christian then the bible is what you believe in. If not just call yourself a man of faith. Because you cant say you are a Christian but dont believe in the bible. Christianity and the bible go hand in hand. You are just a man a faith and not a Christian.

I'm an unorthodox Christian. I'm Christian in the sense that I believe in God and Jesus Christ but unorthodox in the sense that I don't believe the Bible is 100% accurate. I don't believe it is a sin to not be a believer. For instance, if I was never exposed to Christianity, then I shouldnt be eternally damned for it.

Either way, it has no place in the theatrics of pre-fight hoopla.
