Dammit, do these people ever think about anything OTHER than murder?

They think about those pig, ape, monkey Jew-bastards...and how Americans are the Great Satan

I'm rooting that the Mujahideen slaughter the Soldiers of Allah and the Intifada humiliates the Saracens. Murder the bums.

Um...I hate to spoil their fun, but did anyone mention to them that there's a reason footballs are called "pigskins"?

lets form a team called the "jerusalem crusaders" or avengers of constantinople, or muslim converts for jesus the real god...

It would be good solid fun just to see thier faces

from Charles link....

But Intifada's Shawky said that his team's name won't change. He says intifada describes a righteous fight against oppression, whether it's in the Middle East or in America.

"whether in the middle east or in America."

Very, very much in keeping with the crew at Al-Jiorjtown, the epicenter of Western Islamoapology.

sorry but they are talking football and not soccer (at least thats what the website implies...football fields with Islam in one endzone and I think holy koran in the other
They even have a pigskin on their website...(and i would like to be the first to call for a fatwa against these infidels who would use a pigs skin)

Paladin, wrong-first, the article from the LA Times calls it football, which is a pretty reliable indicator that it's football and not soccer. Second, click the other link Charles provides-you will clearly notice that it's a football league.

"The words themselves do not have bad meanings , but people associate them with what's going on in the world around them."

Correct. If jihad brought to mind passing out flowers and singing opera instead of murdering innocents, then you might have a case. As it stands, you do not.

I did the same as you, googled Haddad

LOL

Evariste, they even play cricket, which is supposed to be a game for "gentlemen". Needless to say, I dont "root" (you don't want to know what that word means in Australian slang) for Pakistan!

#36 Nancy,

Couldn't find your link. But as I posted a few posts above, Haddad teaches Islam at Georgetown. That means a protege of the world's Number One Islamapologist, John "I Love Being a Dhimmi" Esposito, author of the notorious, pre-9-11 howler, "The Islamic Threat: Myth or Reality?"

yeah, they're trying to be a pigskin league, but if they choose to play against any non-islamic league, they will be chewed up an and spit out.

the "Infidels" and "Crusaders" will probably beat them very easily.

but, aside from this crap, integrate them. one of our best weapons is our way of life.

no one ever turns back. no one can.

Perhaps they would like to schedule a game against the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division. I'd buy tickets to that.

Esposito, Haddad and John Voll are the Axis of Evil when it comes to academic Islamo-whitewashing.

"Saracens"? Why are they using a "Crusader" word? Maybe there's hope that Native Americans will drop their opposition to the Washington Redskins.

"Roots" is either an old US miniseries or a Canadian clothing company...

believe me, it has nothing to do with fornication or any Pakistanis,... whereever they may lay.

Nancy, ploome,

Oh I forgot to mention, Voll (Esposito's sidekick for something like 30 years) is famous for testifying that the Islamofascist government of Sudan qualifies as a "democracy" before a congressional committee.

"Idiotarian" doesn't beging to describe that crew. Actually they are probably dumb like a fox -- Esposito I know makes huge bucks off of "consulting contracts" for companies doing business in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia.

Ani ge'eh la'amod im yisrael

Dont think hebrew will show up here :

This is going to sound realy weird, but I know most of the people mentioned in the article, including Rabbis Hier and King.

I also take classes at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo (ten miles south of the planned "event").

An interesting thing about Saddleback College is that a recent member of its board of trustees by the name of Frogue (love the name) was the only elected nazi politician in the United States.

Three other members of the board are Jews, and he was forced off.

Having met a good number of muslim students at Saddleback -- my guess is that they have't a clue what a Saracen was, and the only Middle East History prof at Saddleback is such a dufus that he couldn't tell them.

Their high school history books were doctored by the state and Houghton-Mifflin to remove any refrences to Islamic war crimes against the west, so they just don't know.

An example of just how dumb these Muslim kids can get is my daughter's friend -- the girl wears a hijab around her neck, with a tank top, bare navel, and low rise jeans.

They really don't get it, and politically correct pseudo-education isn't helping.

Thank you Josh. There is at least one LGF'er who has the habit of posting "transfer now" in Hebrew on this site. I can get it on my system. I've posted in (outrageously blasphemous) arabic. So please have a try.

So the opposing teams wear necklaces of pieces of ham. What are the mighty fightin' mujahadeen going to do?

How long will it take before an Allahbot football team starts calling themselves 'The Gunners'? What with their penchant for weapons and all!

As a devout Arsenal fan, if they assimulated the name of the football club I love, I would be compelled to strap C4 to myself and go blow up the lot of them!

I just thought I'd add -- this is the first LA Times article about Jews that was not deliberately insulting in a long, long, time.

Something tells me that William Lobdell is NOT going to get a Middle East assignment anytime soon.

Isn't this just too rich in ironic hypocrisy for words!!

One in the eye for the Blair lied crowd

Revealed: the Iraqi colonel who told MI6 that Saddam could launch WMD within 45 minutes

An Iraqi colonel who commanded a front-line unit during the build-up to the war in Iraq has revealed how he passed top secret information to British intelligence warning that Saddam Hussein had deployed weapons of mass destruction that could be used on the battlefield against coalition troops in less than 45 minutes.

In an exclusive interview with the Telegraph, Col al-Dabbagh said that he believed he was the source of the British Government's controversial claim, published in September last year in the intelligence dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, that Saddam could launch WMD within 45 minutes.

shalom=שלום

#89 It doesn't matter anymore-people are so convinced that Bush/Blair lied that evidence doesn't even computer in their heads.

It's like the people who think we never landed on the moon. In the face of overwhelming rational evidence, they prefer hokie conspiracy theories.

"Who cares? Why are people so sensitive?" said Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad, a professor at Georgetown University.

Just keep digging that hole, jihadi out-spoken and thus hypocrite-to-Islam bitch. Yes, why are (Muslim) people so sensitive to certain words and names?

Shall we all think back to September 2001 and the shit-fit thrown by the Muslim associations and the L³ when Bush said that most inappropriate word "crusade" when the American people were mourning our dead and the destruction of those handsome towers? I remember that we were supposed to be sensitive to your feelings even as our hearts were broken.

I'm going to follow #32 evariste's lead re breaking Iron Fist's Rule and check out for now, but I must say, other LGFers here are correct in stating that regular Americans will/would be repulsed by these "teams" and their names, and what they represent.

We at LGF are correct when we lament the fact that "the country" has gone back to sleep about the WoT, but the average citizen, when confronted with a team-name like "Soldiers of Allah", is not going to associate it with happy joy thoughts.

I'm going to leave now and look at my pretty Christmas tree, and raise a glass to all the poor infidels killed in the name of Allah and his "prophet". And I'll raise another one to Israel for being the fucking vanguard in this fight, even though most of the world doesn't appreciate their sacrifice on our behalf. And that's so Jewish, isn't it? Sacrificing your own life for others. Christians revere a Jew who supposedly did it for everyone in the fucking world.

Merry Christmas. Pass the Eggnog (I'm looking at you, Rayra. LOL)

Though their entire league is known for their running game(from modernism) the Mujahideen and Intifada have dominated for the last few seasons with the Intifada relying on their special teams(suiciders)and passing(the buck)games and the Mujahideen known for it's deep bench and victories over the Russians it will in all likelihood come down to these two teams.Soldiers of Allah being relative unknowns and probably a front for another franchise and the Saracens having made no ground in league action for centuries.Thankfully they all rely on 7th century playbooks and may never take the field or even find their way out of the locker room.Don't even bother investing in seasons tickets no matter what the scalpers(L3) tell you.

WTF? I thought the Canadians would be the first country to sponsor Islamic sports teams. I was counting on Jihad Hockey season. Look lke the USA is a little farther along with Islamification than previously thought. I can't for the Jew Slaughtering halftime follow by a stoning execution of a woman in a burga. That will sell allot of buffalo wings at your local sports pub.

Sort of like Irish-Americans who glorified the IRA for about 100 years.
Sort of like German-Americans who supported the Nazis before World War II.
Sort of like Greek-Americans who supported the fascist junta trying to take over Cyprus and force union with Greece in 1974, and continually block alliances with Turkey.

So its not unusual. That doesn't make it good - but stop trying to claim Islam is unique in this respect.

A good start for Sunday -

Today's Sunday Telegraph in Britain carries a story suggesting that there WERE WMDs - and that they are still hidden in the Iraqi desert. The 45-minute deployment warning was/is at the root of all the Hutton enquiry furore.

[Link: www.telegraph.co.uk...]

Meanwhile The Sunday Times is suggesting that the boss of the BBC may be getting ready to resign :

The Sunday Times - Comment

December 07, 2003

Comment: Atticus: Down-in-the-dumps Dyke may seek an early exit from the BBC

Friends of Greg Dyke say the BBC director-general is not a happy chappy. One close chum said he is at the stage where he doesn’t want to get up and go to work.
The Hutton inquiry is taking its toll — the report is due in weeks. Dyke is also about to incur the wrath of his own team by decreeing that BBC reporters cannot carry on writing freelance columns for newspapers. It is a weak sop to the government, according to many at White City.

BBC critics sneer that his undoubted talents are better suited to running a commercial station, not a public service. And money-conscious Dyke’s mood will not have been helped by the knowledge that Tony Ball, his counterpart at Sky, is departing with a payoff of £10.7m. Dyke is on a rolling contract and had hitherto indicated that he would carry on for another four years, until he is 60. But it seems that he may no longer stay that course. The BBC chairman, and fellow Labour donor, Gavyn Davies, is sure to be keen to find out soon if Dyke intends to hang around.

If he does want out, Davies will need to get the negotiations going or risk having a lame duck DG at such a crucial time for the Beeb.

#95 - Gordon
The Irish, the Nazis and the Greeks!!! Is that the best you can do??? I've seen some pretty tenuous links attempting to equate the unique situation of Islam in my time, but this one is really stretching it. Come on, Gordito, you can do better than that!

How about renaming Glasgow Celtic "the Fenian Avengers" or "the Sword of Erin"? Why not change the name of "Bayer Leverkusen" to "Arbeit Mach Frei" or "Wacker Burghausen" could be called "Untermenschen das Mordsding"? In Greece they could rename "Panathinaikos" as "The Turkey Basters". Then we might have some equivilance.

Meanwhile, may I suggest you emulate an earlier Gordon?

Good God, man. My German is a bit rusty, but did you just post the lyrics to the Horst Wessel song?

#103 NitneLium

Yup, that would be it. What the hell is Steffan trying to say?

Here's an English Translation of this Nazi "hymn.":

Flag high, ranks closed,
The S.A. marches with silent solid steps.
Comrades shot by the red front and reaction
March in spirit with us in our ranks.

The street free for the brown battalions,
The street free for the Storm Troopers.
Millions, full of hope, look up at the swastika;
The day breaks for freedom and for bread.

For the last time the call will now be blown;
For the struggle now we all stand ready.
Soon will fly Hitler-flags over every street;
Slavery will last only a short time longer.

Flag high, ranks closed,
The S.A. marches with silent solid steps.
Comrades shot by the red front and reaction
March in spirit with us in our ranks.

but stop trying to claim Islam is unique in this respect.

Gordon, where does it say - or even imply - that Islam is unique in this respect? If you bothered to ask, I'm 100% certain Charles would condemn the IRA, the Greek fascists and the Nazis.

But this blog isn't about the IRA, Greek fascists or Nazis. Pro-terrorist Muslims in America are a disturbing trend, and will probably, sooner or later, become a threat.

From Steffan's post:

Those low-rent cocksuckers need to keep in mind their *true* heritage

I expect he's referring to the pro-terrorist Muslim football teams.

Streets are named after suicide bombers in Gaza and West Bank. Imagine...... a psycho who kills unarmed Israelis on a bus is glorified and his family given money. His mother honored for giving birth to this beast.

They sure are living up to the faith created by murderous Muhammed, the pedophile prophet.

Charles, I thought you had a policy against Mein Kampf and The Protocols. I think the Horst Wessel Leid falls into the same category.

To equate that vile satanic cult of islam with IRA or Greek junta -- despicable criminals as they both may have been -- speaks volumes of you, Gordon.

Neither comes even close.

Only the nazis and the militarist nationalism of imperial Japan come close to the sheer evil and savagery of Islam.

Yet just look how we treat the death cultists now. They are AT LEAST as big a threat as the japanese were 60 years ago. There is FAR MORE reason to intern and deport every muslim who refuses to denounce their allegiance to the moon god Allah and his terrorist pedophile "prophet" Muhammed as there was to intern those japanese-americans who refused to denounce their allegiance to their emperor.

While on the subject, did anybody see Chris Wallace spend his FOX debut basically asking Howard Dean to explain his kooky, insane campaign lies from about six different directions?

Rather than just belly-ache and hope that the Islamonazis choke on the "pigskin" - does anyone actually live in Irvine and is willing to organize a large, protest? Imagine the outcry if a group of KKK'ers staged an event with teams named "coons" or "N-word", etc. It's time we give the Islamonazis a dose of true "democracy".

OT but relevant. A question in the latest "Islam Q&A" email refers to import duties.

Here is my take on it: The questioner is a diplomat who takes bribes to allow goods to be smuggled duty-free. The imam answers that Muslims should do whatever they can to avoid tariffs and will go to hell if they charge them to fellow Muslims, but that the questioner should not take bribes for doing this.

So I guess that makes Muslims free traders par excellance.

Now given that these diplomatic workers are already abusing their own duty-free privilege just for money, should it come as a surprise were the trigger mechanisms for some suicide vests to come in the diplomatic pouch, if they think they are doing it for Allah? We screen to avoid letting the next Mohammed Atta into Florida, but we roll out the red carpet to let his "brothers" into Washington, D.C.

Hopefully the feds are on the case if, as is likely, such a smuggling ring is operating in the U.S. They might find more going on than bribes for tax-free shipping.

Here's a helpful map to the location. Maybe ProtestWarrior could bring the camera...

Woodbridge Community Park

It's so close to the freeway, I can't imagine it would be hard to drive there.

Would be fun to bring a little espresso cart and sell, oh, pork rinds or something.

129 steve miller,, are your" hilarious "and" biting " remarks about bacon and pork rinds suppoosed to annoy jews on this thread as well? if yes, well done , genius.

American Football (no sneer quotes required) is the most brutal team sport in existence. The average NFL player's career is short, painful, and injury-filled. Many players are virtual cripples by middle age. The biggest player on any rugby field would be among the smallest players on any NFL field. Don't tell me about helmets and padding, either. Without them, the game would be interrupted after every play to allow injured players to be removed from the field on stretchers. Try to get past your reflexive, envy-inspired America bashing. It makes you sound like one of them.

OT: More Palestinian child abuse.

No, lizzy, they aren't meant to annoy the Jews on the thread. If they've done so, my apologies.

And you especially I wouldn't want to insult. My intent was to point out that the seethers want to pick extremely offensive names for their teams, but that they would (in my opinion) seethe and whine the instant anything that would appear to slight them would appear.

But you make a good point - no need for me to be provocative.

I think just showing up to protest the inflammatory names would be cool enough. And a great way to point out that names like "Redskins" are banned, but names like "Jihadis" are OK because Americans are just too slow to understand that "Jihad" doesn't merely mean "get off my back."

lizzy - EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! (Sunderland-girl-impression!)

(And 132 - I like it! Lets 'em know we Zionists are watching their every move!)

129
I had a few kids in my junior high school , in Texas, in the mid 70s, waving ham sandwiches at me saying "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, good",when they found out I was Jewish,, steves comments on 129 puts him on the same level.

Lizzy, I accept your rebuke. I was wrong.

137 - Jeff S -

Yet you're allowed to mock football (soccer)? Go figure.

Besides, it was a joke. I like America, and most Americans I have met. Relax!

OK, steve, no offense taken,,, i just have to go in and cook dinner for the starving hoardes in a second, , im lazy and im a bit grouchy today... sorrry if i snapped at ya,..

gin-jah,, dave smum taught me a little ashington song about fiishies in a boooooooooooaaat,, sound familiar, lass?

Okay. I was going to just leave it alone right up to the point where I try to change the subject and everything, but.....
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH OUR NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS WHEN THIS ISN'T FRONT FUCKING PAGE NEWS???????????? GODdammit to hell anyway!

Uh-huh, another "toy gun". Looks pretty real to me.

Hey lizzy, I need to be put in my place. I've said some very offensive and insensitive things because I have been - well, insensitive. How else can I learn? (Maybe my mom should have slapped me more for my smart mouth. She certainly thinks so.)

German FM: Fence may end chances of ever reaching peace

Justice Minister Yosef Lapid told Fischer and Spanish Foreign Minister Ana Palacio, who also attended the meeting, that in the wake of the Holocaust, "we refuse to take what some of you see as 'reasonable risks.'

I was hoping it would read:

I happen to prefer my version.

ah, ok.

I had to step away for a bit -- w-a-a-a-y too much coffee this morning. I was starting to think my arguments made sense.

Ginger Liz

We mock soccer because of the scarcity of scoring opportunities and abundance of stultifying midfield play. We don't try to compare it to our sports, we just don't give a crap about it. It's been said that the British Navy spread soccer and syphillis around the globe. Contracting syphillis at least has a pleasurable aspect to it, however distressing the end results. I cannot say the same for soccer, and most Americans apparently agree, or it would have caught on here as a spectator sport by now. Sorry to have misconstrued your remarks, but I've seen that tone before, and it always strikes me as America bashing.

Colt (#152)

I wonder what he means...?

My mind goes to very dark places ... I don't even want to consider what he means. There is something obscene about it.

Israel rolling towards unilateral withdrawal

#156 zulubaby

There is something obscene about it.

The fact that he's German makes it worse.

OT: Time for everyone to simmer down. Our salvation is at hand: Richard Gere visits Jordan on peace mission
Gonna be kicking it with Ashrawi. I hope you all used Thanksgiving to appreciate American movie stars. I know I did.

The fact that he's German INDEED makes it worse.

Is there something in the water in Europe? I mean, what's with the endless Jew-hating? It is just eternal.

Beyond comprehension.

#159, boy, I'm sure glad that Gere is going on that peace mission. Up till now, I thought he was just a shallow, pretty boy.

157 Henry S.

terrible idea

no matter how far Israel withdraws....unilaterally

it will never be enough

IIRC, in the past 100 or so years Poland has been moved westward quite a few miles, and moving the borders and the inhabitants doesn't seem to be causing any ruckus now. The borders of the Czech republic were settled after WWII and any non-Czechs were kindly but firmly escorted out. Part of old Prussia has become an enclave of Russia (Kaliningrad), but no one's too upset that the Germans are gone back to their extant homeland.

What's so wrong with simply asking the Jordanian and Egyptian governments to take their citizens back home? Wouldn't that be an equivalent way to fix the problem?

Jeff S - Get over it! Just don't get annoyed when I joke about your national sport if you are then going to do exactly the same about mine. It's called hypocrisy. ;-)

#152, #156, #158 - I definitely feel that anti-Israel politicians need to choose their words more carefully if they don't want to be perceived as making threats. (Jimmah and his "Final Solution" spring to mid as a very recent example!)

Of course, if they do want to be perceived as making threats . . .

#164 Ginger Liz

Jeff S - Get over it! Just don't get annoyed when I joke about your national sport if you are then going to do exactly the same about mine. It's called hypocrisy. ;-)

I took your post where you stated that rugby was a "million times" tougher than football as being completely false.

#162 ploome

Agreed, particularly since the withdrawal would be effectively unconditional, i.e., a retreat behind a wall with no dismantlement of the terror groups.

The move reflects the intense pressure brought to bear by the plethora of genocidal peace plans and the armtwisting coming from the WH. Winning the WoT requires a homeland for the Pals, you know.

The Pals already have a homeland - two, to be precise: Jordan and Egypt. Why should they get another? That would be three.

Ginger Liz (#164)

Of course, if they do want to be perceived as making threats . . .

I don't think they care. The anti-Semites are emboldened, it's okay to openly hate Jews again. What a relief!

The world is turning to shit.

You and I think alike. I blogged the link (with a hat tip to LGF) and added some of my own suggestions for opposing teams. Then came back here and I saw your comment (the only duplicate we had was 'Knights Templar'). I updated and linked your comment. Hope you don't mind...

IIRC, it was used as the theme song for a very good TV adaptation of Sons and Lovers over 20 years ago. It was shown on Israel TV when I lived in Rehovot (1979 - 1982), and was probably made a year or two before then. I think it stared one of the actors who was in The Likely Lads, a British sitcom from the 60s.

I also think I've just dated myself.

Thank G-d George Will is there to call the PA a bunch of "recidivist liars" - to Rabbo's face.

Thom - so George Will is on at the same time as Rabbo?

Sigh - 'd love to see that.

Yup. It took George about 5 minutes to get Rabbo to say that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state.

I don't think he means it, but he said it ...

ploome, did we miss it? I'm so confused, or hung over, or something.

Oh - and keep an eye on cspan. I think they replay the Sunday morning news shows but I can't find their schedule.

Ohfergawdssake, let's not get into a quarrel about American football vs. soccer or rugby. As a Packer fan, I know where I stand, but if I had been born in Liverpool or Sydney, I'd think differently. Insulting other countries sports on LGF is like getting into the whole Christian-Jewish debate - feathers get ruffled, nobody changes their minds, and tons of bandwidth gets wasted.

Did anyone see Beilin and that Pali-guy-whatshisname (bear with me - I'm coming down with the mother of all colds and am working my way through a tea and lemon that also contains enough brandy to knock out a horse) on NBC this morning? George Will was part of the panel talking about the Geneva Accords and he said (in so many words) that they were a naive, Rodney King approach ("Can't we just get along?") approach to the ME. He also called the Pali leadership liars.

Zionists are very fortunate to have Will in their corner.

Way, way, way OT but interesting, in the train wreck sort of way.

The DUmmies all think that Cuba is a democracy, and that the U.S. has a much worse human rights record, and that Cuba is great because all Cubans get their daily ration of protein and can read Castro propaganda.

Anybody got hard links with which to refute them? I know we discussed Cuba's "democracy" awhile back, but can't remember which thread it was.

On the Israeli side, at least, it seems that anyone who wants to be taken seriously has to have their own peace plan.

lol

He said the high Palestinian birth-rate meant that Arabs would soon outnumber Jews in the land currently controlled by Israel between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea.

For years, Mr Olmert's Likud Party strongly supported settlement policy in the West Bank and Gaza and refused to consider giving the Palestinians even small amounts of territory.

Of course, it's always difficult to get your story straight, but there's this.

.....“Mullah Omar was spotted praying in a mosque in Quetta 10 days ago,” Karzai said. “This is the first time I have said this publicly.” Karzai alleged that Taliban rebels were getting support in Pakistan—Quetta has become their main base, he said—and he asked Musharraf to stop Pakistani Islamic groups from providing sanctuary. (“It is a lie that Mullah Omar is in Pakistan,” retorted Pakistan Information Minister Sheik Rashid Ahmed.)

And this:

Sharafullah, smartly dressed in a shalwar kameez, wool sweater and black boots, said bin Laden was represented at the Ramadan meeting by three Arabs in their mid-40s who were armed with new Kalashnikovs and bedecked in hand grenades. The Arabs informed Mullah Omar’s two representatives—one a former cabinet minister and the other a senior Taliban military commander—that bin Laden believed Al Qaeda had to widen the scope of its anti-infidel efforts as new opportunities arose. According to Sharafullah, the Qaeda representatives quoted bin Laden as saying, “The spilling of American blood is easy in Iraq. The Americans are drowning in deep, rising water.” Many Qaeda men are keen to go to Iraq, bin Laden’s delegates at the meeting allegedly added, and they again quoted “the sheik” as saying: “I’m giving men who are thirsty a chance to drink deeply.”

Bin Laden, they said, had also decided to “reorganize the distribution of funding” by reducing Al Qaeda’s monthly payment to the Afghan resistance from $3 million to $1.5 million, according to Sharafullah. Bin Laden’s men pointed out that raising and distributing funds has been complicated by the U.S. crackdown on jihadi charitable foundations, bank accounts of terror-related organizations and money transfers. Nonetheless, bin Laden wanted to “assure” the Afghan resistance that it would receive the promised amount. “We will never leave you alone,” the terror chief allegedly said through his representatives. .....

Bin Laden’s Iraq Plans

Well, here I was going to make some great insightful comment about the Geneva Accords, but the brandy in my tea kicked in and I can't remember what the hell it was I wanted to say.

Bye, kids, I'm off to my sickbed. And yes, I do want you all to feel very sorry for me. I've had my tea and now I'd like some sympathy, damnit!

:-)

I don't know if anyone linked to today's Telegraph, who report an interview with a general who claims to have supplied the notorious '45 minutes' information. And he says it was really half an hour. (However a Telegraph leader notes the claim concerned a global threat, whereas these particular nuclear warheads would have been shoulder launched.)

Charles, please put up Burchill's article. The last paragraph I found especially touching: "Not our Jews! Leave our Jews alone!"

#196 Dom

From your link:

The devices, which were known by Iraqi officers as "the secret weapon", were made in Iraq and designed to be launched by hand-held rocket-propelled grenades

"The secret weapon"? LOL! I don't doubt this guy's veracity but this sounds like something out of a Mel Brooks movie.

The rest of the world plays the true sport of football! The beautiful game as it is known!

You septic tanks (yanks to you) play some half arsed stop/start version of rugby while wearing more armour than a Sherman tank!

Did you forget how to play the real game of football when you founded America, so you thought you would ask the Irish? The thing is the Irish are so thick they can't remember that you play football with your bloody feet not your bloody HANDS!

Oh and how comes that in your American football (with added poof pads) you have a World cup or World series and no other country in the entire re world even bothers to enter? There is not one other country in the world where that unflowing over hyped sport you call American football is even remotely near becoming a national sport.

Have you not heard of the World Cup? The greatest sporting event on this planet? Look south from your present position and you will find one (even 2!) of the greatest national footballing nations in the World(Brazil and Argentina!)! Even they managed to get the rules right, unlike you lot! I'm sure they would be happy to give you some advice!

Don't get me wrong I love America and Americans, but.....when it comes to football (proper football you call soccer) you have not got a clue! Even Saudi Arabia has more of a clue about football than you lot and they are a bunch of mad [bigoted word]s! As much as it pains me to say it.

If you have never seen the likes of Thierry Henry, Ronaldo or Zinadine Zedane play the beautiful game you are missing out on one of the most amazing sporting events on the planet!

I'm afraid, Americans, that when it comes to your American football, no one else on the planet gives a shit! We are too busy playing the real football!

I took your post where you stated that rugby was a "million times" tougher than football as being completely false.

Both rugby and American football are full contact sports. (yes, I have watched a live American football match!). The differences are:

1) Rugby players are as hard as old boots and don't use gay metal helmets and large 80's style shoulder pads in case they get 'hurt'!

2) You can't throw the ball forward in rugby to a guy in front of you who will run over the line to score. It's a backward passing game that means players must use running, agility and body strength to get the ball up the field, not a long throw.

3) There is one team that must deal with offensive and defensive movements instead of having two teams split seperately for these roles.

4) The game of rugby flows more. The problem with American football is you get 30 secs of action and twenty minutes of standing around talking about what they are going to do next.

5) Rugby (and footbal for that matter) is about skill and power, not about just running head first into an opposing player with a tin can on your head!

6) England are rugby WORLD CHAMPIONS!

Now don't even get me started on why football (soccer to the uneducated!) is better Amercian football, I will be here all night!

oh and...

7) A Scrum the equivalent to a scrimmage is full contact and if not done properly can result in a players back being broken should they fail to keep their spine lower than their pelvis.

Get it wrong and your spine could be snapped in half. Imagine the force of 2 teams of eight men in a full contact scrum pushing in opposing directions. Thats why vacks get broken!

This is unlike a scrimmage where teams don't even come into contact until the referee says to begin and then you run head long into each other and fall over.

My, what skill!

JWarrior,

I let most of this trivial argument of Football vs. Football slide, because hey, I don't care for either very much anymore. I was in England for the last World Cup, and all it meant was that we Americans were the only ones expected to be at the office and working.

Have you not heard of the World Cup? The greatest sporting event on this planet? Look south from your present position and you will find one (even 2!) of the greatest national footballing nations in the World(Brazil and Argentina!)! Even they managed to get the rules right, unlike you lot! I'm sure they would be happy to give you some advice!

But come on, do you think "world opinion" holds any credibility on this board? You know better than that.

#204 RIP Ford

"But come on, do you think "world opinion" holds any credibility on this board? You know better than that. "

Nope, you are very right there! And I have to say 'thank G-d'. That is part of what makes LGF such a great site!

"I was in England for the last World Cup, and all it meant was that we Americans were the only ones expected to be at the office and working."

You will know how seriously we Brits take our football then. Its not a matter of life and death, its more than that! ;)

Please don't take my attack on your national sport as being in anyway un-American. If its a choice of the UK joining the Zeropean Union or becoming the next American state, I say 'Give me a 10-Gallon cowboy hat and call me Tex'! Its just the sports I have an issue with!

Re #199:

Don't get me wrong I love America and Americans, but.....when it comes to football (proper football you call soccer) you have not got a clue! Even Saudi Arabia has more of a clue about football than you lot and they are a bunch of mad [bigoted word]s! As much as it pains me to say it.

Now, it's true that in the USA, American football is much more popular than soccer. But we have enough people who play soccer to keep ourselves respectable in that sport.

In the 2002 World Cup, the USA made it to the quarterfinals, whereas the Saudis lost all three of their games and didn't even score one goal in the tournament. In the current FIFA men's rankings, the USA ranks 12th in the world, while the Saudis rank 26th.

And on the women's side, the USA has won two of the four Women's World Cups that have been held, and currently ranks 2nd in the world in the FIFA women's rankings. I couldn't find the full rankings for the women's teams, but somehow I doubt that the Saudis are a significant factor in women's soccer.

#130 Ginger Liz

(Rugby Union, a million times harder than your American "Football")

I can think of many ways ""American Football"" is "a million times harder" than rugby.not quite "a million". "Football" players require incredible strength,speed,endurance and gamesmanship to play well and you could make the same claim for rugby except for some limitations in the game of rugby itself. You could teach two teams of apes a few maneuvers and place their favorite fruit at opposite ends of the field you could learn them to play rugby. Whereas
"Football" (as in little green ones) demands complex plans of execution, a large playbook to recall on the field at a moments notice without fail,the ability to improvise during execution of a predetermined play.They require the grace to be able to move effectively within the physical parameters of the play.But, and a big but, a huge butt, the game of "Football" is more often won not by brute strength or physical prowess but by a responsive,well executed overall strategy. "Football" is more of a thinking game than rugby could ever be and coupled with the equivalent physical and emotional requirements (no crazies please) this makes "Football" far and away the more difficult game of the two.

/sporting spirit of rivalry

#143 Ginger Liz

Yet you're allowed to mock football (soccer)?

See #207 above and replace "rugby" with "soccer".

I'm sorry, but it's american football they are talking about, not rugby or soccer, See article!

Rugby is the game for me.

I love American football, but really - 4 hours of real time to get through one hour of game time?!

Ah - but they have to squeeze in enough commercials to raise the equivalent of several nations's GNP's combined.

Which is why rugby - alas! - will never be a big sport in America: the action doesn't stop long enough or often enough for the taste of advertiser.

Which is a real shame because American are missing out on one hell of a game!

I was at Monza in 1998 for the first Ferrari one-two finish. 150,000+ Italians and me, stormed the track before the race was officially over. Freakin' amazin' experience.

Discussions of the propriety of the Washington Redskin's name made the frontpage of many papers. How come I've not seen or heard anything about this?

I already know the answer, I'm just hoping more LGF readers - especially in SoCal - will ask this question of their local papers.

RIP Ford

I remember watching that race on TV. It must have been a great experience to actually have been there! I hope you waited for the cars to finish going by before you went out on the track! The cars are so low and fast they would seperate you from your feet at the ankle!

There was some nut who made a protest this year at a GP and he started Morris dancing on the track in front of Jensen Button's car doing 200+ mph! He deserved to be seperated from his feet, unfortunately Jensen just missed him.

Their shite and they know they are.

One of the two state owned Spanish TV channels was broadcasting last night a French documentary on Hezbollah's soccer club (Al Aahd) titled 'SOLDADOS Y DELANTEROS ISLÁMICOS' [i.e. "Islamic warriors and forwards"].

So these people play soccer alright, but they'd still prefer to kick the head of a Jew.

The only football game with real BALS is Aussie Rules Football. Blood on the pitch every game - awesome.

Funny that muslimfootballs.com is registered to an address in Walnut, CA. Walnut, CA is also the home of the North American enclave of Hizb Tahrir. The Islamic Cultural Workshop is registered in Walnut CA, who promotes the writings of Hizb's leader and sells Hizb publications. The Islamic Cultural Workshop also uses the same address of Khalifornia's former web site contact info. The Khalifornia movement is closely associated with Omar Bakri of al-Muhajiroun fame. Seems that some strongly radical feelings exist in this obscure Walnut, CA.
