To be fair I read the Mail article and it did mention that they had a *get out* clause as you say. I think the point was all these politicians etc rushing to try to stave off Muslim protests .... who the f&%k cares????

:mad: They can all go fcuk themselves

Our Muslim mate was round today with her lad (we were babysitting whilst she was at work), she distances herself from all this ****e, she loves living here and gets annoyed with those who upset the apple cart and she thinks they are doing it for the sake of it, it does not do ny good she reckons just annoying people for the sake of it and she thinks wearing a Burkha is wierd, possibly just English converts to Islam and mingers wearing them !

shame more aint like her, for every one of her theres 10 waiting to take the piss out of us

No sh*t. What other reason could there be other than causing trouble?

I though it was just I that held back purely for this reason, its nice to know there are others :thumb:

I think you're likely to find it's the other way round. 90% of muslims in this country are decent honest people who want to get on with there lives peacefully & quietly. It's just the vocal 10% have the backing of the PC brigade, and the ear of every newspaper editor trying to whip up unrest to sell papers:mad:

As far as the press are concerned, muslims are just the new football fans, thats all:(

Agreed, you'll find the majority dont want to hear this rubbish. You get the extremists who bring up stuff like this to stir hatred and off course the press will happily print it because they know we'll read it and get peed off. Afterall its got a thread going here hasnt it.

Yep it is called the steeplechase and involves armed police chasing you and hurdling over turnstyles before diving for the finish line :D

LMFAO!

is it the whole comunity or was it a passing comment that the press have got hold of and is being blown out of proportion?

i realy am starting to wonder how much of the 'muslims want there own way' is just the press reporting something out of context and to get a headline.

was it just someone saying, 'its a bit of a disadvantage that it clashes with ramadan' that the press have turned into 'muslims up in arms'.

If anything it'll just be one or 2 athletes who would have said something as a passing comment and its become the whole of the Muslim community that want it, we all know what the press is like.

At school the muslim pupils had the same Xmas holidays as the rest of us, but we never ever were allowed any time off for Ramadan. Always seemed unfair to me, and is similar to this situation :(

did they get time off for ramadan?

Yawn :sleep:

Same old story which inevitably prompts Racial Discrimination

Yes :(

now that is fair, prehaps they shold be in school over christmas then, since they don't believe,,,,,

So we are a society who have different rules, for each religon then

That should mean, we automatically get all of Xmas off & they should work it for us, as we do for them:thumb:

These comments aren't a media invention:

Sounds like straightfoward muslim sh*t stirring to me.

Are you all reading the same article as me? Apart from that Massoud Shadjereh bloke, the other people quoted are all saying "It would have been nice if it was on a different date, but I'm sure the athletes will cope". Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

o right hadn't read exact quotes lol

sorry but it isn't done at tat time cos fo christmas, it is done at that time cos it always has been, goes back to athens and greece

Surely these Muslims are risking the wrath of Zeus by appearing in these Greek games and flaunting their newer religion?

Behead all athletes! :D

Well I'm with the Muslims on this one. It's right that a sporting event should, when deciding the date of said event, consider EVERY single religion on the planet, so it neither A) puts any competitor at any disadvantage, or B) disrespects their religion.

Indeed, I'm sure the FIA are already looking at next years F1 calender, hoping that no race conflict's with some halfwit religion.

Or, we could simply hold what we want, when we want, and they can go and Fcuk themselves. :mad:

Just the Muslim one's, and not just the athletes :thumb:

I'll quote myself here........

Fatima found the aerodynamics of her veil a drawback......:(

Surely common sense has to prevail and look at the numbers. If it is the case that the majority were being affected then something needs to be done, if its the minority then the status quo has to remain.

Surely the whole idea of being extremely successful in sport means that sacrifices have to be made and as an individual you weigh up what you wish to do, if you have strong beliefs that you wont compromise then you dont take part. Wasnt there a runner who wouldnt run on a Sunday? Cant remember his name, it was against his beliefs and he stuck to them, did he bemoan the fact he couldnt compete on a Sunday? NO! He accepted it.

P.S. Surely I cant start yet another paragraph with the word surely! :)

Surely the weight of that jumper and trousers is as much to blame for the poor woman coming last, I mean just look at the two either side! they are wearing next to nothing, maybe there should be a new ruling that women running in a race with a muslim should all wear Darth Vader outfits so as not to disadvantage the poor muslim. Also can you imagine the high jump not to mention all the track events, fancy getting your dishcloth or whatever it's called all twisted up whilst lobbing the hammer, shot or discus. It could be really nasty if you trip over whilst lobbing the javalin, however it could add to the excitment of it all though :D

That’s a good point, what if they do compete with the old curtain on the face !!!! Could be and impostor. :nono: (some cousin or other family member).



Ffs they will probably dispute each result on religious grounds anyway and be duly awarded gold in everything (even if they didn’t participate, because it was too early or slightly inconvenient)
