Khatami declares harsh measures against football hooligans
Oct. 23- Iran’s President Mohammad Khatami declared Tuesday harsh measures against football hooligans who in the recent weeks caused heavy disturbances. “Nobody is against celebrations after football games but misusing celebrations for causing damages and disturbing other people will not be tolerated and hooligans will be harshly confronted in the future,” Khatami told reporters at the parliament. More than thousand hooligans were arrested in the recent weeks by the police after celebrations over victories of the Iranian national team in the World Cup games. Even after Sunday’s 1:3 defeat by Iran in Bahrain frustrated fans stormed into the streets and had clashes with police. On Sunday night, a large number of football fans accused the Iranian football federation to have intentionally let the team lose in Bahrain for preventing renewed festivities. The football federation harshly denied the charges. The football festivities caused a lot of trouble for the Iranian police as not only did the fans – including female fans - violated Islamic norms by dancing to loud music on the streets but also political slogans were shouted against the Islamic administration. The world football governing body FIFA rejected Monday a protest note by Iran over two players of Bahrain having played despite two yellow cards. FIFA said that all players were eligible to play and Iran must play in two relegation games against the United Arab Emirates with the winner playing next month against Ireland./-
Evidently you don't. No one mentioned Israel. I don't know where you got that from, but then I don't know where you get anything else. He was talking about Iran, Afghanistan, and the United States. Thus, by extension, so was I.
And for your information(not that you won't deny this on the basis of something made up on the spot), Turkey, which has a mostly Muslim population, is an ally of Israel.
...and if you knew how to make an apt comparison, you wouldn't be an idiot.
That's a pillar of traditional commie thought, i.e., Trotsky's "permanent revolution" and Mao's "continuous revolution."
Who could understand that better than me? Regards.

It annoys me greatly that some people expect their freedom as a right and then hide in their houses and complain that 0.01% of them are being hurt/killed while we try to kill their slave masters among them. They expect their freedom for free. They are the front line the war should start with them.
P.S. I rented "The Vikings" can't wait to watch it...hey there isn't an 8:00 football game tomorrow. Maybe I'll catch it then.
