what are your thoughts of muslims playing afl?

[Murray]

Why on earth would Buddhists have a greater work ethic than Catholics?

Because they have been here so many times before

 

[hoogs]

Are footballs still made out of pigskin?

If so, this may be a problem.

The pies are beef...technically.

Why? Is there a custom for consuming the footy postmatch that I am not aware of?

Hmmm, is it the killing of the pig, or the eating of it? I think it's the eating.Hindus dont kill cows, because they see them as sacred. I think pigs are seen as rancid in islam.

 

[Cyclops]

What do you call a Muslm footballer who's better than Judd?

Azif.

What do you call a Muslim footballer who's been out on the town with Brendan Fevola?

Hamed.

And if he was out with Cousins as well?

Mohammed.

And if he was too drunk to drive so he caught a taxi?

Intiqab (famous Pakistani cricketer).

Anyway enough of this crap.

 

[Jarka]

sorry if i affended anyone but the truth is i am muslim and i was woundering what u guys think of them playing afl

I's irrelevant what religion you subscribe to, well it should be irrelevant anyway.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

That no allowances what so ever be made for their religeon.

They play when the game is on, if they choose not to play, that is their choice.

That was precisely my point. Can't see muslims or jews having an issue with a sherrin made out of pig products.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Sherrins are made from kangaroo skin.

 

[fishmonger]

i think it is great that the AFL is accepting of different cultures.

With the majority of Australians of the Islamic faith in Sydney, it is not suprising that the NRL already has quite a few Muslim players but racism (and consequently segregation) is threatening to tear Australian rugby league apart.

Recently a breakaway Aboriginal competition was scuttled by the CRL.

I'd expect that a planned Queensland Islamic rugby league competition will also be put under some scrutiny :

Frankly, I'd like to see even more variety in our competition, and hope someday that we have some international rookies from countries like Japan and South Africa in future.

Right, that's the last football I eat.

It's not planned. It's already a reality.

Would be interesting to see what people would think, if they brought out an only christian league.

Either way, the media are trying their darndest to get us hating each other.

 

[Smell The Glove]

I think it is fantastic. Best way to integrate into Australian culture is to play our great game- so to those that do, best of luck to them.

Don't Quit your day job ,not even a bit funny

 

[spiraldiver]

Why make any issue of this? What are your thoughts on Caucasions playing the game? I'm sure they have alot of talent and congrats to all teams for picking some up in the draft.

Bachar Houli is Lebanese, therefore he is Caucasian. Back to school for you.

Cyclops, a fatwah will be issued against you over this! I hope you and Rushdie get along well!

 

[KUNG FU]

I think its going actually do a lot to easing cultural antagonism in our society. Go Houli!

To be honest I don't really give a ********

Should be interesting when they bring the water bottle on and he has to drink after an infidile, or maybe he,ll have his own marked muslims only.

You appear to have some issues with our multicultural society - please tell us why.

On a technical note the players are very hygienic these days and don't put the shared water bottles to their mouth. They just squirt the water in to their mouth from about 15cms away so even the most germaphobic player wouldn't have any qualms about sharing a bottle.

I'd be surprised if he even had a job at all, day or night.
