Don't expect him to say anything different in front of a Western audience though Doesn't matter how many times you say it Mo, doesn't make it true. It's in bad need of a major reformation. There's a reason why Muslims are waging Jihad in so many different countries around the world. Countries ranging from Nigeria to China. Chechnya and surrounding caucus. Pakistan and the most of the ME. is suffering. As a non-Muslim reading the 9th (last revealed) chapter of the book, it's not difficult to understand why.

There's nothing being proud of where you were born.

Well be my guest then. You're quick to accuse the Jews of being baby killers but as soon as I start to point out some little home truths you start calling people Zionists and complaining about Islamophobia. Stop being a victim. If it's "Islamophobic" to point out home truths about the plight of Christians in Muslim majority countries then it's anti-semitic to accuse Jews on this board that their people are baby killers especially since I've we've seen from both sides, it's a highly debatable and controversial assertion. I think the Jews have on this board have a right to be offended by that seeing as all of them disagree with that contention.

Now this is the kind of stuff that gets people banned. Petty name calling. I doubt anyone here is actually a "Zionist". Or did you mean Jew? Oh, that will be racist now won't it? If you don't like the opinions of others, just ignore them or shut it because petty name calling is not going to get you anywhere. It's the sign of a lost argument. Next to your name is an American flag. Freedom of speech and all. I expect better.

I'll let the first part slide because you said you're not a Muslim. The second part is way off. Again. Arabs are denied basic human rights in Haifa and Tel Aviv? Can you please prove that Muslims as a whole are a denied food, water, shelter and freedom? Arabs are FULL citizens. They share the same basic rights as Jews (believe it or not) They are represented in every branch of government. Arabs are present in the Knesset. It's incredible you type that. Now can you show me ANY Muslim majority country where a Jew is allowed to hold authority over a Muslim? It's infact forbidden in the Sharia. Are Jews able to practice their religion in most Muslim majority countries today? Are Jews given (what's left of them) any basic human rights in any Muslim majority country today? What happened to the powerful Jewish tribes of Saudi Arabia prior to Muhammad? I'll answer that one. They either got exterminated or driven out. What about the Christians in Pakistan, are they able to preach about Jesus freely without fear of death, like this? http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/22/world/asia/pakistan-attack/ The Copts? The Christians in Nigeria's North? What happened to THEIR human rights and how come no other Muslim country in the world can offer the courtesy the Jews offer the Arabs in Israel? Are Jews and Christians not second class citizens in Muslim majority countries under Dhimmi status having to pay the Muslim HUMILIATING Jizya? (which is nothing more than a form of extortion akin to the racketeering cash in Godfather movies ). Are Jews, Christians, Atheists, Pagans even allowed to set foot in Mecca? If not, why not? Muslims are persecuting people specifically Christians more than any group by FAR today but no protests or rallies in the Muslim world. I wonder why. Dhimmi status as authorized by the Sharia is second class status for Jews and Christians in the Muslim world. This last comment of yours just buried your point (or lack thereof), Choulo You obviously don't have a clue what goes on in Israel.

Again, still can't see the supposed genocide. Genocides wipe out population not build it up. Can you site an example of any historical genocide (the word rightly used) were there is a high population increase? These stats are also easily available on Wikipidia anyway and any other population data accumulation site. And who is denying there is an occupation? You sure you know it's official terminology right? And what does that have to do with my comment? Nothing. More strawman points. You aren't even listening. One thing enters one ear and goes out through the next. Let's face it, Muslims living in the big cities in Israel are much more well off than Shia Muslims who get murdered regularly by Sunni's for being the "wrong" kind of Muslim. Same thing in Pakistan to where the Shia's are anything but safe and live in constant fear. Or you think Saudi Arabia is such a "nice" place to live? Where Muslims are killed outright if they choose to depart from the faith and adulterers are stoned to death? Get real. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And the same thing applies to the copy and paste job above.

Because you're oblivious to the fact that Hamas, the terrorist group (as recognized by the US and some other countries) uses Palestine children as human shields thus causing thoroughly preventable tragedies. They say this themselves as evidenced by the video I posted. Here's another more recent one from a senior spokesman of Hamas admitting to this heinous, disgusting practice. They tell you to your face still you blame Israel: Why do they sacrifice their children in such a manner? It's two fold. So that they die as "Matyrs" for the "cause of Allah". And so that Israel can be painted as the brutal "Zionist" regime to the international community. Of course the Neo-Liberals and the far-right in some of these Western European countries will eat it up because of their (historical) own antisemitism. The supposed "genocide" in Gaza seems to be producing an increase in population of Muslims in that region. Must be a miracle. The only genocide I know that actually increases the population. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/gz.html Meanwhile, the Turks are yet to take responsibility (or even recognize) for a real genocide on the Armenian people, I digress. I'll like to see a similar act of solidarity to the victim from the Muslim community when a Muslim radical who "misrepresents" Islam carries out another terrorist attack in the name of Islam. It seems to me Muslims are only seriously bothered when it's other Muslims being victims of supposed injustice but if it's a non-Muslim, there's deafening silence. And therein lies the biggest problem and the biggest hypocrisy.

Just to provide a bit of balance because it seems the conversation has now been slanted terribly in one direction. Like I said earlier, it's impossible to discuss the Israel-Palestine issue without religious bias getting in the way of common sense and reason. The reality is that except for the few gullible, most people in the West are not buying the propaganda anymore, not even the Neo-Liberals. Hamas, which is nothing more than a terrorist organisation democratically voted in by the people of Palestine indiscriminately fires rockets into the Israel year in year out with the intention to kill and destroy the Jews and wipe them of the face of the earth. Just this year alone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_Israel,_2014 The Iron Dome of course intercepts these rockets. The moment Israel sees it fit to defend itself, there is a national cry by the Petro-dollar funded Islamic lobby against the "Zionists" really just a code word for "Jew" as the two have now become interchangeable. Hamas use the Palestinian kids as human shields (as they like to tell us), strategically locating little kids near weapon storage warehouses or intentionally ignoring intel on impending airstrikes. Of course the parents of these kids are all to willing to let their children die as Martyrs all "for the sake of Allah". The Palestinian children are being brainwashed to hate the "Zionists". I can think of no form of evil greater than that. Who the hell on earth does this? We see it year after year, Hamas shooting rockets into civilian area with the hope of killing "Zionists". It's a rinse and repeat. (1) Hamas rejects cease-fire. (2) Hamas shoots rockets with areas with children. (3) Children die. Who is the real enemy of the Palestinians? It's Hamas and it's virulent radical element. This is the most balanced video I've seen explaining how Palestinians do not have a right to the land they claim. Unfortunately, I've come to understand that most of the Muslim hostility towards the Jew is purely a religious issue and has nothing to do with land. It started with Muhammad and the Jewish tribes in Arabia and it continues today in the Muslim world. It's much more than "land". Anyone saying otherwise is being ignorant at best and deceptive at worst. Many people are not aware that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem joined forces with Hitler in the last years of The Third Reich and helped Germany recruit Bosnian soldiers to join the SS army and help slaughter the Jews. This was 5 years before Israel was even a state. On a more general note, using words like "genocide" on this forum and on other forums where I see words like "Apartheid", "Holocaust" being used to describe what is happening in Gaza is not clever and it infact demeans real genocides and Apartheid that have occurred in the past. If Israel really wanted to commit genocide against these people, they will be dead in 24 hours. Real genocides are being committed in places like Nigeria and Kashmir where Christians and Hindus are being target and killed because of their religion by Islamic terrorists. The things I hear from back home scares me. Nigeria is no longer a safe place to live anymore, because of the Boko Haram. Jihad is being fought in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, North Africa, Chechnya and the ME in general. Don't even let me get started on the Cultural Jihad being waged on the Western European countries. Isn't it a fucked world when a Danish cartoonist draws a cartoon about Muhammad and Muslims riot, burn down flags (mostly USA and Israel flags) and destroy the embassies but when mini-genocides are committed in the name of Islam, there is complete silence. When the Jews protect themselves the world goes nuts. Just look at this. Any non-Muslim will say that's hypocrisy and lack of empathy. And again, I think that stems from the texts of the Qur'an and Hadiths and it's very negative attitude toward the unbeliever. Look, I'm not typing all of this to be mean of to be offensive to anyone of you guys because I consider you (the Muslims is who I'm addressing now) decent people and supporters of my beloved Chelsea but a much needed reformation of Islam and serious condemnation of the acts of these terrorists and mad men is needed. When is the killing in the name of Islam going to end? Leg dragging on the matter won't do. "Islamophobia" and all these other now popular catch-phrases won't do. Put yourself in the shoes of a non-Muslim and think about it. Finally, all this Israel Zionist blame game has been done before. Many have historically blamed the Jews for all the world's problems. It's just sad to me as a "neutral" in all of this. In the Third Reich, Hitler systematically stripped the Jews of all their basic human rights till the Final Solution were he wiped out 67% of Jews on the earth. Speak of genocide. The same tired anti-semitic stuff I hear Hamas preaching and radical Muslim leaders and teachers speaking in 2014. That's saddening and my heart truly aches for the kids in the Middle East having to be indoctrinated to believe what can simply be defined as pure evil and hate. It's happened before. Here is a Nazi propaganda film blaming the "Zionists". All through creation Satan has and continues to use different people to destroy the Jews. Anyone who has read the Bible knows why. P.S : This was just a general observation on what I and many others in the States and beyond observe in the world around us today concerning the Isreali-Palestine conflict, the Middle East and the Muslim World. I won't reply to any of this. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. God bless.

Let them sign him. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this particular player is very overrated. Solid player and well rounded but that's about it. Yes, he's a CL and World Cup winner this season (Madrid and Germany are no slouches obviously) but he's not an elite player. Not a WC player for me.

Yes, Mourinho said that early on last season but the height issue has been less important since Matic joined. Also Filipe Luis is 6 feet tall. It was an issue when we used to play Lampard and Rami in the pivot but not anymore.

Playing Ivanovic will defy all logic. No way he starts ahead of Azpilicueta.

Kurt Happy Zouma.

I don't think too many players give a s***e about that, tbh. It's all about playing for a team that wins trophies and offers good wages. Location is an added bonus.

^^^^^^^^ Tuttosport seem to be referencing The Sun of all papers in that link. Mediaset are also saying "we are about" to bid" 75 million euros (without referencing the Sun) . Last time I checked, a bid doesn't take very long to be drafted. Treat it with his skepticism. http://www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it/mercato/juventus/2014/articoli/1041625/chelsea-75-milioni-per-soffiare-pogba-alla-juventus-vidal-verso-il-manchester-united.shtml

This signing probably means we're done signing starting XI players for now. We've signed Costa, Luis Kasmirski, Fabregas and Courtois is back, that's 4 out of 11 starters. These guys will need time to settle in the club. Another starter like a Pogba will mean we're changing half of our starting XI and this could be a big risk as we have some really tough away matches early on next season. I'm expecting more depth signings like a Tiago and maybe a second striker if Lukaku is hellbent on leaving and that's it.

http://bluechampions.com/2014/07/16/why-filipe-luis-age-is-not-an-issue/ I saw this decent piece on why Luis' age is not that big of a deal. The other part is about who should have been 4th choice CB choice between Zouma and Kalas . Kalas is older and was impressive when he started for us. Zouma is a massive talent but still very raw. Ok, one was playing in France while the other in Holland but one would have thought Zouma would be the one to be loaned out but I'm sure our scouts know more about that.

Aye! Also expecting a lot of decent overlapping as well. Luis did that well for Atleti and Azpi is a 1000x times better than Ivanovic going forward. All the problems we were bemoaning last season are being solved by our board. We aren't so stupid afterall!

WhoScored.com ‏@WhoScored 50m More Filipe Luis: Of defenders in Europe’s top 5 leagues, only J López (145) made more tackles last season than @FilipeLuis03 (131) #Atleti #CFC

He's half Brazilian and half Pole, FILIPE LUIS KASMIRSKI!! FILIPE LUIS KASMIRSKI!! I can see it now. Good times ahead.

Brilliant signing! One of the best LB's in the world today. He's 28 and the price is a bit steep but he will give us 4-5 years of top level service and that's a long time in football plus we do need some experience as well. Now we have a properly balanced squad for the first time in a while with quality split evenly from keeper to defence / midfield and attack.

Yep. ARSEnal fans moaning about it on twitter. Those clowns are so super-sensitive over everything.

Marca are saying that Madrid have agreed terms with Arsenal already. We might as well pass on this one. Another defensive midfielder is not a priority and Khedira is not that good. Arsenal can have him.

Durham is a bellend. He's easily the worst "sportswriter" in England today. Everything he writes is meant to wind up the reader. One day he gives us passive praise, next he's slamming us.

van Aanholt is going apparently. I thought he'll be a back up for Luis but now we seem light there. He will be the only recognised LB in the squad.

You can't come to any logical conclusion based off one game. The way Atletico play means more turnovers for the striker. Besides, there were many games where Drogba consistently lost the ball, especially early in his career for us. Means absolutely nothing.
