Amazing that they actually let him play on, judging by today's standards. Don't think you're even allowed back on the pitch unless all the bleeding has been stemmed ?
Probably something to do with risk of spreading blood borne diseases or something. That or the threat of vampires.

Actually some muslims do, for example, the Palestinians. They have a big parade in the West Bank, he's Palestines greatest son.
You know I did think that but wasn't 100% sure, kept having Blackpool in my mind for some reason. Probably thinking of the Matthews final.
They're more likely to be Christian Maronite Palestinians than Muslims. Its a Christian sect from Syria.
No, they are Muslims, it's a big thing there, especially in Bethlehem, as they are very proud of the fact Jesus was born there.
That's weird, since the Q'uran specifically calls for the murder of any rival of Mohammed, and Jesus would most certainly fall in to that category.
Jesus is an important figure in Islam. He's one of their many prophets but not on the same level as Mohammad.
People forget that Jesus is a saint in Islam as well - he just isn't the preeminent saint as in Christianity.
Interestingly Mary is much more important - is arguably more venerated in Islam then in Christianity.
