harrynufc 0 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Leagues top two scorers both muslims. Now thats a headline you wont see in the papers. We all know about ba but not so long ago it was said that van persie had converted. I know he has a muslim wife who came out and said his religion can impact on his support so he has to be careful. Which points towards him being an undercover muslim. Also anyone else notice Ba's celebration. He prostrates, with his knees and head touching the floor. Quite a common celebration amongst muslim sportsmen, especially in cricket. Any other decent muslim players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9034 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I know this is going to sound dickish, but I'm not sure what relevance a player's religion is to anything. Not meaning to sound a twat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TicTacWoe 0 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Aye it's irrelevant really. Didn't know Van Persie had converted, nor did I know his parents were both artists, check out old man Bob's work here: http://www.bobvanpersie.com/?page_id=24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wife was Moroccan descent, was brought up a muslim, but she couldn't give a fuck about it. To the muslim letter of the law to marry a muslim you must be muslim, but van Persie said fuck that and his wife can't be arsed with all that kneeling pish now. A quick google would tell you that.

harrynufc 0 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sorry i should have clarified, only reason im asking is because there seems to be a few muslim players in the premier league but ba seems to be the only one fasting, or atleast he's the only one that has come out in the media. Surely you'd think that there must be something in contract that says he has to be physically inc nutritionally taking responsibility in order to get his 40k or whatever it is. Imagine he wanted to fast every game day and wasnt performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fasting for that period to follow his religious beliefs, I know people who do it and its not pleasurable for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrynufc 0 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Imagine he wanted to fast every game day and wasnt performing. Then he wouldn't be a professional(ly employed) footballer. Next! Obviously that was an exaggeration but you do realise ramadhan aint the only time when they fast throughout the yr. My point is this, if someones religious beliefs are going to affect their work performance to a point where the company is losing thousands, surely youd think there would be some sort of clause in his contract, giving him non paid leave or something. Without being discriminatory. il have a read me that article thanks. Edited January 6, 2012 by harrynufc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's a known alkie, this one gets a yellow card every time he plays, this one's genius but disrupts the dressing room, this one has Tourette's, whatever. Ba's understandably shaky form during Ramadan has been forgotten in light of his performance since - I don't really see the point in making a big deal of it now.

Monkeys Fist 38911 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 How are the Roman Catholics getting on or aren't they a special case? Their Clergy make shite players, always offside due to straying into the box way too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
