		<description>Yikes! Some of you lot really need comprehension classes or er, a god to hand out brains like Sunny so touching believes- of course I know the the piece is a parody and I clearly said so when I compared the al-watan journalists &lt;i&gt; favourably &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; to Sunny&#039;s shoddy thinking. That parody is the natural answer to piss poor argument about cultural imperialism and &#039;orientalism&#039; in football. None of this has anything to do with the poor 11-year old in Canada but do remember that, Sunny never made any mention of her, just &#039;idiots&#039; and western cultural imperialism and it was too delicious not to send up!&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a parody article mirax! Been doing the rounds for ages afaik. Please get over yourself. And as Jagdeep pointed out, I don&#039;t see what relevance this has. We&#039;re talking about a 11yr old girl from Canada not the Saudi family mouthpiece.</description>

		<description>As far as I know, the football playing hijabi girl in Canada didnt subscribe to the kind of thinking mirax blockquotes, so I don&#039;t know what relevance it has to this thread, amusingly demented though it is.

Oh yes of course it&#039;s a way to make snide comments about Sunny and his vocabulary.

Anyway, Orientalism is an idea and word that I think is bandied about too often without being properly understood by people on both the left and the right, and that probably damages the power of the ideas behind it by devaluing it and reducing it to simplistic rhetoric.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;mirax - is that a joke? if not, then they’re more nuts in saudi than i thought.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Possibly, it appeared on an internet forum at a time the Saudi government was (and probably still is) campaigning against frivolous fatwas.  Al-watan didn&#039;t compose it and apparently publised it tongue firmly in cheek.

It&#039;s unclear whether the original authors were making a parody in line with contempory issues (reading it i think its fairly clear they were) in which case the joke is on anyone who takes it seriously, or whether they were serious and everyone is laughing at them.

Anyhoo i support this

&lt;blockquote&gt;
9. You should spit in the face of whoever puts the ball between the posts or uprights and then runs in order to get his friends to follow him and hug him like players in America or France do, and you should punish him, for what is the relationship between celebrating, hugging and kissing and the sports that you are practising?&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>On al-Watan from &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Watan_(Saudi_Arabia)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;wiki&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;em&gt;It received some notoriety when its editor, Jamal Kashoggi, was fired for speaking out against the country&#039;s hardline Islamist clerics because they refused to denounce the May 2003 Riyadh compound bombings.&lt;/em&gt;

So there you go, not so mad as a &#039;mentalist, as they say in Riyadh. However, the next person to use the word &#039;trope&#039; will be taken out and shot.</description>

		<description>&quot;This is typical of orientalist thinking - that world football should only be preserved for those following western cultural norms&quot;

Still obsessing with your &#039;orientalist&#039; trope, Sunny?

The hacks at the al-watan newspaper in S Arabia seem to have a more nuanced (to use of your favourite words) understanding of the sublimely ridiculous than you. Enjoy:

&lt;b&gt; A Fatwa on Football &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;


In the name of God the merciful and benevolent:
1. International terminology that heretics use, such as &quot;foul,&quot; &quot;penalty&quot;, &quot;corner,&quot; &quot;goal&quot;, &quot;out&quot; and others, should be abandoned and not said. Whoever says them should be punished and ejected from the game.

2. Do not call &quot;foul&quot; and stop the game if someone falls and sprains a hand or foot or the ball touches his hand, and do not give a yellow or red card to whoever was responsible for the injury or tackle. Instead, it should be adjudicated according to Sharia rulings concerning broken bones and injuries.

3. Do not follow the heretics, the Jews, the Christians and especially evil America regarding the number of players. Do not play with 11 people. Add to this number or decrease it.

4. Play in your regular clothes or your pyjamas or something like that, but not coloured shorts and numbered T-shirts, because shorts and T-shirts are not Muslim clothing. Rather, they are heretical and western clothing, so beware of imitating their fashion.

5. If you have fulfilled these conditions and intend to play soccer, play to strengthen the body in order better to struggle in the way of God on high and to prepare the body for when it is called to jihad. Soccer is not for passing time or the thrill of so-called victory.

6. Do not play in two halves. Rather, play in one half or three halves in order to completely differentiate yourselves from the heretics, the corrupted and the disobedient.

7. If neither of you beats the other, or &quot;wins&quot;, as it is called, and neither puts the leather between the posts, do not add extra time or penalties. Instead leave the field, because winning with extra time and penalty kicks is the pinnacle of imitating heretics and international rules.

8. Young crowds should not gather to watch when you play because if you are there for the sake of sports and strengthening your bodies as you claimed, why would people watch you? You should make them join your physical fitness and jihad preparation, or you should say: &quot;Go proselytise and seek out morally reprehensible acts in the markets and the press and leave us to our physical fitness.&quot;

9. You should spit in the face of whoever puts the ball between the posts or uprights and then runs in order to get his friends to follow him and hug him like players in America or France do, and you should punish him, for what is the relationship between celebrating, hugging and kissing and the sports that you are practising?

10. You should use two posts instead of three pieces of wood or steel that you erect in order to put the ball between them, meaning that you should remove the crossbar in order not to imitate the heretics and in order to be entirely distinct from the soccer system&#039;s despotic international rules.

11. Do not do what is called &quot;substitution,&quot; that is, taking the place of someone who has fallen, because this is a practice of the heretics in America and elsewhere.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>ZinZin I&#039;m not from Milan.  i remember when I was fresh off the boast from India @ age 7 in Holland, and I watched the DREAM TEAM of Maldini, Tassoti, Baresi, Costurta, Rickard, Gullit, Van Basten etc, play Napoli with Maradona, and everone already had a team, so I decided from then on that Milan was mine.</description>
