It's flat out vilification with no weight of intellect behind it and it did not come in a discussion or a to and fro about religion. I've had many a lively debate about religion but this is just a stupid comment from a dumb kid who needs a good slap in the mouth

Edited by Joffa: 10/8/2012 06:50:35 PM

To be honest... if that's not ban worthy i can think of something that is...

Edited by Joffa: 10/8/2012 06:50:05 PM

People in those threads did cop bans for what they posted though.

Slight overreaction :lol:

Check out the religion topics in the Extra time section if you really want to be offended.

What the FUCK?!?!?!?!?!

I've never said this on 442 before but if that's not "ban" worthy then I have no idea what is!!!

Possibly the stupidest thing ever posted on this forum. And thats a big call I know.

Edited by Joffa: 10/8/2012 06:48:28 PM

I love this obviously bad translation



I haven't seen the original but I presume it is meant to say "what dialect" but how it is written makes me think of



Also I don't think they worry about Islam, which comments refer to his religion anyway? there are many players in Germany with Turkish heritage (i.e. Gundogan) so I am sure they have experienced it before

WTF! ](*,) ](*,)

Since Ramadan follows the Islamic calendar it moves each year (I don't know the Islamic calendar but it is slightly shorter than the one we use as it is a lunar not seasonal) so this year it started on the 20/21st of July so should finish after soon after the first game of the season so teams should not worry about fasting during the season.

- Most players don't experience a drop in form anyway the Ba one was more an likely a coincidence and the media blamed it on Ramadan. There is not a massive list of players each year playing shit because of it.

- Ironi Kiryat Shmona is an Isreali team so I presume most of the team practices Islam and they have made it to the Champions league play-off round during Ramadan.

- Frédéric Kanouté is another who fasted since he was 22 and played for Seville till the end of last year aged 34 playing full matches while fasting. He is so devoted that he refused to where kits with their sponsor 888.com on them because they were a gambling company

Well said.

EDIT:Just shows that intelligence is not required to post on a Football Forum Banning usually offends so please don't post a comment like that again, Thanks.

Ibra has a Muslim father and a Christian mother but he followed Islam for a while IIRC but apparently he became disillusioned and converted to Christianity

Must follow it very loosely.:d

What's to lol at, Ribery is Muslim.

I believe he is a convert to Islam as his wife is of Algerian descent. Pretty sure Ibra is christian though

LOL

They only have to fast during the day. A footballer wouldn't want to be eating lots the day of a game anyway. Maybe just big meals at night. Islam isn't the kind of pseudo religion many of the Christianity sects have become.

I could see him proving alot of people wrong in the future...great talent

This kid will make the haters eat their hearts out.

So, now look at Ba, top player at Newcastle.

Add to the list of Muslim players, Toure (both), Sagna, Anelka, Dzeko, Kalou, Abidal.

Religion shouldnt be an issue and i dont see why they should be concerned Heine. no need to clutch at straws.

Religion. Olol. Hope Amini foes well over there.

Demba Ba followed it strictly didn't score for the first 5 games

I think they are assuming because he's afghani

I don't think it's that big a deal tbh, some of the worlds top players are Muslim but I suppose not all are strict followers, plus Sahin is Muslim and he was one of Dortmund's stars.

But there are plenty of top Muslim players at elite levels such as: Nasri, Ribery, Zlatan, Papiss Cisse, Benzema, Ozil, Khedira and plenty more, a massive chunk of the French national team are Muslim.

I thought Houli was given permission/blessing from there priest? to eat during certain holy times. Same thing could happen to Amini

Wasn't even aware he was Muslim. Not surprised they're concerned to be honest.

The big thing for me is that the club are putting him out there alot in their press releases, social media etc he is a very clear part of the first team squad if their pr is any indicator. Clubs usually dont parade around a player then throw him in the reserves all year.

Edited by jamo91: 8/8/2012 10:37:37 AM

doubt very much that houli would have REALLY fasted. for his community to save face he would say that he did, but there's no way he did and no way amini would.
