#1 in order to violate the despotic international soccer rules

Those damned despotic soccer rules.

Is it just me, or is the jihadist fantasy world getting deeper and deeper?

#4 Dude, don't even be calling it 'soccer'! You can get Christian/infidel/Joo cooties just from *saying* the word.

These guys are such colossal asshats. I hope they are not surprised when Alan finally gets fed up with their antics and kicks their collective asses. Heh, he will probably even use the infidel crusader/christian/joos to do. Hey, wait a minute! You don't suppose...

#7 Still waiting for Israel and, lets say, Syria or Soddyland to make it at the same time into the World Cup being played next year in freaking Germany. Now there is the mother of all fatwa making matches.

#10 How can you call them woosies, ed, after they've been directly ordered (fatwa'd?) to play with broken feet?

#11 IOW, the anti-soccer fatwas > Islam is in general a "Warrior's Faith", and soccer played the Radical Islamist way is the "warrior's way" of soccer, ergo its okay to vilate the Quran by engaging in suicide attacks and slaughtering other Muslims wid out their knowedge or consent. Yep, the Raddies are "Warriors/Samurai of the Desert, ala THE MUMMY/THE MUMMY RETURNS, as long as they don't stick their scimitars into the ground, identify their names and clans, and dare enemies to kill them in glorious one-on-one or one-to-many battle, D*** YOUR JUDAEOCHRISTIAN HIDES!? NOT EXACTLY SALADIN, OR EVEN KLINGONS, ........................@, ARE WE!? Like any good God/Faith-based Commies or Totalitarians, they will smite milyuhns and zilyuhns of their enemies with someone(s) else's blood.

#12 I could respect playing with a broken foot. But nooo, imam Pansy wants to convene a sharia court right on the freaking field. You think soccer was slow and boring before, wait until 22 whiny muslim mamma's boys and a cleric take the field. Hopefully the fans will have the good sense to throw some loaded AKs onto the field.
