Would love to know when islam became a race.

Yep seemingly Islam is a race & anyone who questions anything to do with it is racist because Muslims are brown:rolleyes:

I'm sure there are. I'm struggling to find where the liberals are though. On boards and in Ireland. There is a huge difference between labels in America and here. Your using an American term to label anyone who disagrees with you.

So whats your definition of liberal?

I'm not interested in a tit for tat with you. I don't understand your insistence with labels and buzzwords. It cheapens what's being talked about.

I'll leave it at that.

What insistence with labels & buzzwords?
Well when you become a moderator I'll take on board what you say, untill then.....

Saudi players no.7 and no.10 respected the minutes silence.

Well done, the only men on the team.

There is footage here of the moment the Police shoot the 3 terrorists as they were hacking and stabbing a civilian. I'm amazed at just how 'up close and personal' the incident was. I would have assumed that the shootings would have taken place from about 15 feet for some reason. 2 were practically point blank as the terrorists charged the Police trying to stab them too. You should watch this to see how fast the decision making process is here, and why trying to shoot them in the arm/leg is utterly ridiculous and not practical in reality.

Also, in the heat of the battle the Police neglected to put on the handbrake, and nearly got knocked down by their own vehicle, which also narrowly avoided the civilian that was stabbed. This is not a criticism btw, just an observation. I would have been running around like a headless chicken in their position.

Serious respect to those firearms officers. Balls of steel.

It is also worth reflecting upon the reality that these Police Officers,whether members of Tactical Units or not,are ordinary people,doing a job,just like us,who are without any warning thrust into a situation which NO training can prepare you fully for.

These Police Officers,at the end of the day,have to remove the uniform and go home to Families,and home situations of the most mundane ordinaryness.

Think,for a moment,of what it must take for those Police Officers to re-enter the normal World,which most of us take for granted and rarely appreciate as we should.

It is so easy for us all to defer to the "Radicalized" terrorist,and to view them as some form of all powerful demonic force to be reckoned with.

In reality,the term used by Donald Trump to describe the Manchester Murderer...."Evil Losers" is just about correct.

Our Society owes these individuals nothing...not even the most basic recognition of their supposed devotion to their religion...they were,and will remain "Evil Losers".

Ireland,can only hope that none of it's young Gardai,will ever find themselves faced with having to make the split-second decisions those Metropolitan Police Officers had to make last Saturday Night.

So it turns out the not standing for a minutes silence "not being part of Saudi culture" excuse is complete boll*x.

Here's the Saudi handball team doing so after the death of their king in 2015.



Here's another one of it not being part of their culture.


Further examples here and here.

This is interesting but not surprising:

Islamic sheikh Shaikh Mohammad Tawhidi has claimed the real reason the team refused the silence is because under Sharia Law, it is not a sin for a Muslim to kill a non-believer.

He argued that the reason for the team's lack of participation was an example of them showing that they stand alongside the jihadists.

"Their response suggests that within Muslim culture they don't remember the dead with a moment of silence. This is a lie."

Ah that's grand then!

Is this like a crazy strategy where you tell the opponent "yes, I AM trying to kill you" in order that it surprises them into submission?!

No Imam Tawhidi has been telling people in Australia that there is a problem within Islam for awhile now. He's been attacked by other Muslims because he says Islam is a religion of war & needs its own reformation

Filthy medieval savages.
Fair play to the police.

EDIT: I'd like to see the full footage of the incident. The stuff in the Daily Mail (for example) is actually what was going on before the minute's silence actually started.

This is the best footage I've seen so far - the Saudis in view seem to be standing still in their own half, but you can't see them all, and still, it ends before the minute's silence starts.

This one shows the minute's silence (or some of it), but doesn't show the Saudi players at all..and the sound is messed up.

2nd edit: Guardian seems to have the full footage here. They report that apart from 1, the Saudi players kept warming up, but you can't see them doing that or anything else on the footage - just shots of the crowd and Australian players. Guardian also gives examples of how Saudis (or Saudi club teams) have lined up for minute's silence in the past.

That is a shocking statement to the world from Saudi Arabia.
People need to wake up.
