On TV show Aap Ki Adalat..

Tarek Fatah recently appeared on Rajat Sharma's TV show Aap Ki Adalat. When the host asked him why he called Kareena Kapoor Jahil (illiterate), the Pakistani-Canadian journalist said, "Isn't she? She named her son Taimur. He is the only such personality, who reduced the population of the world by 3 percent. He attacked Hindustan and created a pyramid with the skulls of Hindus."

Tarek Fatah added, "I am not a Hindu. Yet I am disgusted. You are naming your son after a person, who invaded your country. I don't know what Sharmila Tagore will be telling her. What kind of son you delivered who you named him Taimur? (asking Rajat) Do you name your son Hitler in Israel? Name him so and see. This is you people, who are tolerating these things."

Rajat Sharma mentioned about Spain's Berber Umayyad commander Tariq Bin Ziyad and asked whether he would change his name. Tarek Fatah replied, "Why? Tarek is derived from a Sanskrit word - Tarak. Star, sitara, tara and tarek - all these are Sanskrit versions of Tarak, which means early morning star."
