French Muslim football team refuses to play gays |
2009-10-09 |
[Al Arabiya Latest] An amateur Muslim football team has provoked an outcry in France after refusing to play against a team which promotes homosexual rights and has gay players. The Creteil Bebel Muslim team pulled out of its planned tie with Paris Foot Gay (PFG) at the weekend, saying it went against their religious beliefs to play against homosexuals. The PFG said they would sue Creteil Bebel for homophobia. "We have been insulted in the past, but this sort of thing has never happened," Pascal Brethes, chairman and co-founder of PFG, told Reuters. Creteil Bebel defended their pullout, saying their religious convictions were much more important than any sporting event. "As a Muslim, I have the right not to play against homosexuals because I don't share their ideas," Zahir Belgarbi, one of the team directors, told France Bleu radio. PFG was set up in 2003 to fight against homophobia, which is rampant in some of the poor suburbs around Paris where it plays. Brethes said he was shocked by the way Creteil Bebel players had openly revealed their prejudices. "It is as if they find it normal to be homophobes," he said. Human rights and anti-discrimination groups leapt to the defense of PFG and city authorities also weighed into the row. "The city of Paris will be inflexible when faced by attacks on its principles and will continue to fight in a determined fashion against all acts of discrimination," it said in a statement. |

#5 Regular check-ups for the Muslim players, too, if anonymous5089's description of their little antics is true, and I believe it is. After all, they act like that in Saudi Arabia, too, by all accounts. |

#4 Considering how rough "football" can get do they require regular check ups for aids for the "gay" team? |

#2 Yeah, this was discussed here; best comment EVAR on this one was "yarrr..., let's create a Wingnut Football Club, and let's refuse to play with everyone!". More seriously, it is very enjoyable to see Diversity™ eating its own, but, then again, the "frictions" between the Youths and the homos are nothing new, and often involve much more harmful events (assaults, muggings, and, yup, rapes, whihc is pretty funny, considering those are borne out of homophobia, but, hey, it's not gay to gangrape a man, as long as you're the rapists). This is usually swept under the rug, and as a result, IIUC, the "Gay Community" has no ilusions whatsoever about the Youths, especially as they usually come on top of the Diversity™/Victimhood™ foodchain... not that it will stop professional Gay activists to be as anti-western/ antiwhitey/ anti-Christian/ pro-immigration/ anti-Israel/... as the rest of the lot. |
