Versions of the jeers aimed at Mido are heard across Europe. Dutch fans often accuse Moroccan players of fornicating with goats - a "joke" popularised by Theo van Gogh, the filmmaker murdered by a fundamentalist Muslim in 2004. Nobody is ever arrested for that either. Nor were the English fans who chanted during England-Turkey in 2003, "I'd rather be a Paki than a Turk."
So apparently this phobia permeates the international scene as well. Well why is it ignored? Did the bushite philosophy become a world trend? I know people choose to be racist because of negative experiences that affected them personally, but mass Islamophobia?! What we should be talking about is mass Amerophobia, Columbophobia - Fear of the United States, American culture, etc.
Have we sunk so low as to stop a 15 years young girl from doing what she loves because she has respect at that age for her faith? You want to talk about creating terrorists, what do you think the world is doing to an entire soccer team or 15 year old girls or anyone else that fits their ignorant bill or george!!! Creating hate and stereotypes are what governments are good at. We the people need to become good stewards of the earth and each other and stop doing what this and most other governments across our planet do, which is, FEAR what we/they don't understand. You don't know what kind of snake is poisonous or not so KILL 'EM ALL!!
Pretty soon they'll KILL US ALL and then they will have the scorched earth all to themselves, taking the cockroaches rights away. So come on people, stop the ignorance, or at least know your enemy before your secret Islamophobia, brought on en masse, thanks mostly to the bushites takes over your soul! Aren't we "evolved" enough to "leave the kids out of it?" Talk to the artist before passing judgement on the picture. I leave you with one last view:
The taboo on Islamophobia is weaker than taboos on other kinds of racism. But Butch Fazal, chair of Britain's National Asians in Football Forum, suggests another reason. He says Muslim groups have been slow to mobilise against Islamophobia in sport. "After 9/11, after 7/7, we have become very insular - a community licking its wounds. Our initial concern was our own safety. The searching question we're asking ourselves is: have we lost our sons to fundamentalists? Sport was pretty low on the agenda of stuff that really mattered."
Peace
