Asif was also puzzled by the sudden change in Rameez's attitude regarding his dual role, both as a chief executive of the PCB and as a TV commentator.
Asif strongly believed that the letter from the Senate Committee, which was handed over to Rameez, had triggered his decision to resign barely 48 hours later.

 John 8 and the Birth of Jesus
Their recent article titled John 8 and the Birth of Jesus, written by Asif Iqbal and published by Bismikaallahuma on 21 February 2004, is one of the strangest Muslim polemics I have ever seen.
Iqbal, MENJ and everyone associated with Bismikaallahuma should be ashamed that they aligned themselves with the enemies of Jesus and have spread false accusations against him.
Conclusion: Asif Iqbal's arguments in his polemic against John 8 were nothing but empty speculations; if not utterly wrong, then inconsequential, and even contradicting the book he himself considers to be the word of God.

Former Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal today said cricketing reasons must have prompted India to drop Sourav Ganguly from the second Test but wondered why the former captain had been picked for the tour at all.
Iqbal also said Ganguly had lost his place in the team not on account of the performance of the sqaud but due to his own form.
Iqbal, who started his career as a medium-pacer before earning the reputation of Man of Crisis due to his ability to score runs in crunch situations, said Ganguly was played in the first Test because the captain wanted experience in the team.

 American Civil Liberties Union : Wrong Name, or Wrong System?
Asif Iqbal is a naturalized American citizen -- a 29-year-old University of Texas graduate -- who has no connection to terrorism.
Since February of 2002, Iqbal has been trying to get relief from the government, and Congresswoman Louise Slaughter had assisted him to file an inquiry with the FBI and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
Until the government bureaucracy manages to correct this error and remove his name, Asif's only option -- like others who are erroneously on the "no fly" list -- is to arrive early for flights and be patient as security agents take hours to once again clear his name.

Lahore: Advising Shoaib Akhtar to alter his action to make it ''smooth and natural'' like Wasim Akram, former Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal said the tearaway pacer was putting his career at risk by continuing with his bowling style which will make it difficult for him to stay match fit.
Asif said Shoaib, who has been ruled out of the first two Tests of the tour of England, will find it hard to motivate himself for a return and only an increased understanding of his importance in the team can help him.
Asif said he hoped to see Shoaib play some part in the series against England as a long hiatus could make it all the more difficult for him to come back.

 Asif Iqbal slams PCB
Former Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal has strongly criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board for instituting a medical commission to investigate allegations against certain players that they may have faked injuries during the recently-concluded India-Pakistan Test series.
Asif said if after investigations it was conclusively proved that the allegations are true, then the Board could have come out in public and levied the heaviest penalty on the concerned individuals.
But to have made it an open media event, especially when it is unlikely that a definite conclusion will be reached on the issue, is an act that does the already much-battered image of Pakistan cricket no favours.
