.....Zidane's from Algeria doesn't mean he's a Muslim terrorist.

Of course, I apologize to Zidane and the entire Zizou family. However, in all fairness, I must point out being a Muslim from anywhere seems to be the basic building block of terrorism, at the moment.

I also think, provoked as he doubtless was, Zizou should have shown more common sense. Especially as a role model in a country where many hundreds of thousands of Muslim youths, born in France, have been recently been on such a destructive rampage.

You're absolutely right. Zidane was like a few athletes I know here; he was stupid at the wrong moment.

You are right but not in strict definition. Wahbaaist fundamentalist muslims and their racist/nihilist ideology are the problem but we use the term "terrorist" not to offend out Saudi "friends" spit. This is like saying "he who must no be named" when the average joe doesn't really understand who the hell we are talking about. I lived with an Iranian for three years in college. Not a bad guy but I have since lost contact. Anyway, everyone tries to gain any edge in a competition. You can't imagine someone with his history succumbing at that moment to a verbal slur. It defied logic. Also I heard some a$$wipe soccer guy on Scarborough Country saying Zidane was justified in attacking the Italian for the slur 'terrorist'. This guy was an American journalist and apparently doesn't understand the second amendment. I know this wasn't in America and he was a journalist but damn is he that fnnn stupid. I guess so.
