Hopefully we get to watch some football today....the 1 minute silence..the French national anthem.......then the 1 minute silence for the Mali attacks...then the Mali national anthem. I remember when the Ankara attack took place and many died....following the 1 minute silence and the Turkish national anthem before kick off back then..games didn't get going till about 3.10.....should get going around 3.30 today.

Arsenal hold a 90 min silence at their ground every week.

Are we supposed to boo the Turkish one and chant the Lord's Prayer during the silence, given what their fans did before playing Greece?
 
the Saudi are scum tbf. Fcking animals. Not sure whether that's the law or the punishment in all other muslim nations.

In many, certainly. Not the only group that's treated like this either. Which country was it that through two gay man off a skyscraper as punishment for being gay (not sure if it was sanctioned).

Weren't two westerners imprisoned in Qatar for kissing, or Dubia?

In many ways its very much the past in the ME.

I've no idea about those tbh. Ofcourse I know the punishments for adultery and robbery etc. And ofcourse it's archaic but then it's their laws. There are plenty of crazy laws in the U.S. and ofcourse then there's China and Israel as well. But to give someone a death sentence for renouncing their religion is abhorrent and a disgrace.

Death for cheating, however morally wrong, is beyond insane.
 
[QUOTEI"Treble, post: 8610131, member: 1005252"]Yep, but if you know that's the law, you're equally insane for doing it. Keep it in your pants... or emigrate <laugh>[/QUOTE]
Thing is though, the way the courts in saudi etc. Work is not realistic, even the the adultry ruling there would have to be 4 witnesess that have actually seen the penetration for it to go to court. Which is virtually impoosible!

there are various rulings set as such to show the dangers of such things and at the same time make virtually impossible to implement. The people twist as they wish.

Is there a selection process to be one of those witnesses. If so, where do I sign up? <whistle>
 
@highburyal

Spurlock taking his time so maybe you can help. Would you be able to toss your faith aside for foreign invaders? Without force. Assume they asked you really, really nicely and even had cake.

Would you throw your Islamic beliefs aside and sign up for the new religion?

What does this have to do with this thread? You ask them this question as if they are a part of ISIS.

I hope neither are stupid enough to respond tbh.
