No, it isn't. Not by miles.

And most of it is Buddhist, anyway. Only Malaysia and Indonesia are Muslim, and they're nothing like the Arabian peninsula states.

You'd be surprised how "western" the West Bank is, too.

Iranians are Persian, not Arab, by the way, and it was a secular democracy before the CIA got involved because they elected a government that was too left wing for the Americans and wanted to nationalise the Oil industry.

But this kind of medieval implementation of Sharia is appalling and we are right to oppose it. You don't have to use it as a stick to beat the whole Islam with at the same time though.

Followed to the letter, Sharia is compulsary. Just sayin'.

All I'm saying is wherever this **** goes, there is trouble and persecution and poor human rights records. This incident with the players here is the tip of the iceberg.
 

China has an awful human rights record.

North Korea probably has the worst human rights record in the world.

Zimbabwe?

Burma?

Guatemala up until very recently?

There's a long list of non-muslim countries with just as bad and in plenty of cases worse human rights records than any of the Arab or muslim ones. I blame the wicked, corrupt, controlling bastards in charge of all of them, not their religion or lack of it.

True true. But tbf those countries aren't really using religion to control there people, just there own nutjob political beliefs.

Sharia is compulsary in Islam. Even though I'm sure a lot of Muslims wish it wasn't!

Excellent post.
 
Meh, basically what we can all agree on is that these footballers don't deserve that punishment for ****. Hope it gets overturned.
 
I wonder why he thought it was a good time to shove his finger up there... Weird.

Anyway, it startled the "taker" and surly he shouldn't be flogged in public..
 
Just remembered this, happened over 10 years ago in the NRL, Hopoate got in some serious trouble over it. Just plain wrong really, but I'm sure some people on here will unzip over it:
