Remember, readers:
"Christians, mostly Orthodox Copts, account for about 10 percent of Egypt’s predominantly Muslim population of some 80 million people. They generally live in peace with Muslims"
I'm smelling something already.
"Egypt’s soccer roster based on Islamic piety" by Associated Press | January 15, 2010
CAIRO - The comments by Hassan Shehata, published yesterday in Egyptian newspapers, show how sports and religion are increasingly mixing in the overwhelmingly Muslim nation of some 80 million.
Fully integrated here in AmeriKa! Why do you think those football players point to the sky?
The infusion of religion into sports is part of the country’s gradual movement toward religious conservatism over the past few decades, with more people praying at mosques, most women adopting the Islamic veil in public, and diminishing tolerance for secular Muslims or minority Christians....
Yeah, when Muslims get into sports it's bad, Christians!! They must beat Israel a lot in the soccer matches, 'eh?
Shehata’s comments take religion in sports to a new level.
Ever been to a high-school basketball game in Massachusetts?
--more--"
Yeah, somehow stuff like that was dropped in favor of this slop in the editorial meetings.
