"We are just human beings, our duty is not to judge, our duty is to understand," Abdelaziz Bouteflika said in London after meeting with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

These lib types they say this cr-p, but when it comes to action they are the biggest fascists and fanatics--stopping at nothing to hurt the ones they judge and will never lift one pinkie to understand.

God judged; Jesus hated the sin. This manufactured BS is manmade hooey. Practice what you preach their brother. T'ain't he judging the judgers? Hypocrite.

Refresh my memory.

I love how the press is spinning it so that the guy who committed the assault is the victim.

Rush Limbaugh always looks at any football matchup based on the political correctness of the teams' mascots rather than any strategy or skills of the teams.

And under the global media complex, this is always winning play.

Here.

As the son of two Algerian immigrants, the 34-year-old is proud of his North African roots, dedicating France’s 1998 World Cup win to “all Algerians who are proud of their flag and all those who have made sacrifices for their family but who have never abandoned their own culture”

Sort of how the "offensive cartoons" showed the seething jihadists who walk among us, ready to issue death threats and riot.

Muslim. Blows-up women and children. Wants to kill all the world's Jews. Believes the world should be enslaved under Islam and dragged back to the 12th century. Any questions?

If you mean 12th century BC, then you are correct. Muslims haven't made it to the 12th century AD, yet.

Thank you. That's instructive.

[napscoordinator]

lol. Ok either one of us will win this one so let's just agree to disagree. I don't have that big a fight in this one...

[jla]

Francais ping!

"He was provoked and took the bait. "

A bad human being is a bad human being. I don't know if he's as good as you say he is at soccer, and don't care. I know he's a muslim, and islam produces evil.

If he's in pain... good. If he has more trouble in his future, I'll enjoy schadenfreude.

"Ahhh, yer ma wears army boots!"

Being euro-trash, probably more like, "yer ma voted for George Bush, twice."

I think what Zidane did was crazy stupid. Football is a team sport, and his responsibility was first and foremost to his team, especially as its' captain. He was provoked and took the bait.

I thought the French played a better game and deserved to win up until Zidane nailed that bastard in the chest. It doesn't matter what he said---there is no excuse for retaliating like that in a sport like soccer.

Now, in a man's sport, like hockey, you could drop your gloves and beat the piss out of the bastard. But in a sissy sport like soccer---where every time they got touched, the Italians exhibited poorer acting skills than all the failed soap opera stars in New York City---you can't. So the best way to "get back" at the guy who calls your mother a terrorist, or suggests that he's going to bang your wife after the game, is to keep your mouth shut, keep your hands/head/feet to yourself, and win the game, so you can rub his face in it afterwards.

I heard that Matarazzi said some vicious, hateful, rascist stuff to Zidane. So much for FIFA's anti-racism stance. He deserved that head butt.

[KC_Conspirator]

Now who is that!

[Jameison]

The Italians should be giving Marco Materazzi a medal.

Marco Materazzi:

#1. Scored the first half goal that allowed the Italians to equalize after falling behind to a Zidane pnealty kick.

#2 Managed to get the best player for the French, Zidane, sent off, by trash talking Zidane till the sucker lost his temper and head butted him. This was at a time when the Italians were reeling under relentless French attack. Zidane getting sent off put paid to all that.
Way to go Marco! Smart move

Note to Zidane : They never send anyone off for trash talking, so Marco Materazzi could trash talk you all he wants. You don't like it? Trash talk him back. It's done in sports all the time.

# 3. Same Marco Materazzi also scored in one of the 5 penalty kicks that gave the Italians the World Cup.


I think Materazzi more than made up for that first half penalty kick he conceded, that led to the Italians falling behind by a goal in the first place.

[Jameison]

"Michael Jordan times three"

Nonsense.
And I know Zidane.
He is no Michael Jordon, let alone Michael Jordan times three.
But hey ,don't let me stop you from hyperventilating, will ya?

[Petronski]

I'm not cultured and I don't even know what an Islamic terrorist is.

Anybody believes that, stand on your head.

"I love how the press is spinning it so that the guy who committed the assault is the victim."

In order to justify their stance on PC behavior they can't differentiate between verbal assault and physical assault. To them they are the same at least, and a lot of them FEEL that what you say is even worse than what you do, because it proves you are thinking of them as different, which shows the intolerance of the speaker. Anger is justified by the PC crowd, speaking harsh words has no defense.
