Look in the mirror Imran Khan

Imran Khan, Islamist politician by day, London playboy by night.
by James Forsyth and Jai Singh KHAN EMBODIES THE HYPOCRISY of Muslim elites who inveigh against the West by day and enjoy its pleasures by night. His fame in Pakistan comes from cricket not politics: the best cricketer Pakistan ever produced. In London many remember him as an even greater playboy.Throughout 1980s Khan was linked to a string of beautiful women. In 1988 he told Australia's Sunday Mail, "Pakistan society encourages marriage. There, I lead a very steady,
comfortable life.Here, it is more exciting. The pace is faster. Because of the nightclubs and parties, it is a very good place to be single."
As his cricket career wound down he began to develop political ambitions, he became more reticent about his
lifestyle. In 1992 a London Evening Standard reporter asked him if he found his conquests fulfilling he turned bashful: "Er, by answering that question I put myself in a difficult position because this will get quoted in Pakistan.
And, in Pakistan, the mere fact that you admit you're having affairs upsets a lot of people's sensitivities. I respect my culture. a lot of young people look up to me. It's a big responsibility for me not to make these
admissions in public. Everyone knows I'm single and a normal man. But there's no need to stick it down their

A man who once captained the Oxford University cricket team and was a feature at London's trendiest places, now turned against the culture he had previously enjoyed. In 1995 he denounced the West with its "fat women in miniskirts" (presumably the skinny ones in miniskirts Khan had dated were okay) and proclaimed that the "West is falling because of their addiction to sex and obscenity." He also chastised Pakistanis who looked to the West for ideas, saying "I hate it when our leaders or elite feel that by licking the soles of the feet of foreign countries we will somehow be given aid and we will progress."
So it came as something of a surprise that year when he married an English society beauty, Jemima Goldsmith,
who was half his age and far worse--for the Islamists he was courting politically--half-Jewish. The reaction to the marriage in Pakistan was hostile and put a rapid stop to Khan's political momentum. In a Pakistani newspaper column defending his marriage Khan mused that, "Isuppose if my marriage proves one point, it is that I am not a politician."
Khan initially won liberal and Western hearts by building a cancer hospital and fashioning himself as a reformer, but he has turned increasingly to hard-line Islamist politics.After Khan cast a vote in favor of the Islamist candidate for prime minister in 2002, a leader in his party told a Pakistani monthly, "Khan has more than a soft corner for the ousted Afghan Taliban. He thinks that the orthodox
