Well if eating a burger once a week is mentioned in the Qur'an or Al Hadith then the idea itself would not have sounded so absurd now because there would be billions of people doing it. And LOL, it's a religion, you're not supposed to think about it logically!

lol not sure Ataturk has Islam in his mind when he made those rules. Sheikhs tell you that it is necessary for any Muslim girl to wear a veil just like it is necessary for every Muslim to pray, fast, not kill or lie..etc There are, though, a lot of Muslim women that don't wear it and still consider themselves Muslim just like there are people who violate but still consider themselves Muslims. So to the means of our original discussion, wearing a veil is not at all the same as wearing a cross or having a religious tattoo.

Sorry to bump this, but I'm hearing that he's still at the club despite Rafa leaving which makes absolutely no sense since he doesn't even have his badges to coach here!

There is something you need to understand about Islam and that is there are two main things that make it up and that is the Qur'an and the speeches and instructions of the prophet. If something is not in the Qur'an, it doesn't mean that it's not part of Islam. Now, to be quite honest, I can't remember if instruction that women have to wear veils is in the Qur'an or the prophet's speeches, but it is definitely something that all Muslim Sheikhs agree on and isn't up for interpretation. PS: This is incredibly difficult to explain in English!

I'm actually not against banning them in certain places where you really don't need to express religious beliefs like unis like they did in France. But the problem with that is that veils, unlike crosses for example, are not 'optional'. In Islam all women HAVE to wear veils. It's like praying and fasting.

I thought it would be against all religious symbols and not just veils as it was reported here. It's easy for me to say, as an atheist, that banning them would make for a more 'homogeneous' society, but who's to say that equates to a better society? Anyway, where do you stand on that? PS: With the way things are atm, I'd love any uni that's just not here!

@Stingray, Hey Tom, I read today something about over turning the bans on veils in Belgium. What's all that about?

LMOA! I posted that from my phone so I must have misspelled 'Soul' and my auto-correct made it 'Sole'!

@Drogzola,@BluesChick, yes, yes we get it you two. You're both in perfect relationships with your soul mates. No need to rub it in everyone else's faces! :P

Hahaha I think the scary bit is that every woman has the ability kill with her eyes. Like Superman's laser vision, but with more pain!

Torres has improve his linkup play in the last two months, but even during that period he's had games where he had me pounding my head against a brick wall. I hope that this form continues, but with Torres, I can't help but be skeptic.

That doesn't really conflict with what I said. I'm not saying that we should throw Thibaut away, just that at the moment it makes much more sense to keep Cech and loan Courtois out because Petr is still the better keeper. At the end of next season we can asses the situation again and make a decision again. PS: I'm not sure what mistakes you're talking about. You can literally count the 'mistakes' Cech has made this season on one hand.

I'm not disputing that Thibaut is a good keeper or that he is capable of pulling off world-class save, I'm just saying that he can't do it as consistently as Petr. Cech is still the better keeper, especially when it comes to positioning and decision making, which is only natural because those things come with experience. But that could sometimes be the difference between 3 points and no points. Not sure how Barcelona come into the equation. They have Victoe Valdez i goal, there is absolutely no comparison.

I'm not comparing Courtois to Cech when he was his age, I'm comparing then right now. And at this instant, Cech is the better keeper and if we want instant results and short time success then Petr should be in goal for us next season.

Well I disagree. I've lost count of the times this season that Cech has came up with an out of this world save to keep us in a game. It almost happens every single game but we are so used to Cech that we don't remember anymore. If we want to just build a squad for the future next season and settle for a top 4 finish then we can sell Cech and recall Courtois, but if we want to challenge for the tittle then we're going to need the likes of Cech and Cole and JT.

Ba can go on a 10 year goal drought and still offer to the team much much more than Torres. First of all, he's a target man, unlike Torres, so he offers us the option to lump the ball forward when our midfield is having problems and you can bet that more often than not he'll get to it first and get a knock down to a teammate. Secondly, he is a great physical presence; he can keep both CBs occupied unlike Torres who usually just runs away to the wings. Ba also actually gets involved in link-up play and make passes and create space behind him for Mata to run into unlike Torres who likes to just run into defenders whenever he gets the ball into his feet. There is no denying that towards the end of the season, Torres went on a decent run of form in the EL while Ba was off form but that does not erase the horror show Torres has put on in the past two and a half seasons or the great work Demba has done with the team. And let's not forget that Ba came into the team midseason which is always extremely difficult. So let's just wait for Demba to have a proper preseason with the team and see how he performs next season before we send him to League one.

The problem for Thibaut is that Cech is still by far the better keeper and definitely in the top 3 keepers in the world. You can't replace someone like that even if he's getting old. And you can't rotate keepers like outfield players, that's just a sure way to ruin both. Right now, it's pretty clear that we should keep Cech and loan Courtois. A loan to a PL club would be the best for his development, imo, but it would be unfair to not let him play in the CL after helping his team get there. At the end of the next season we have a look at the kind of season each of two keepers have had and make a decision again.

Alright. Whatever floats your boat, I'm not here to judge Why, Tom? WHYYY?!!

Thistles?! That's just plain weird...

What? So now you can't ask to see someone have a cactus shoved into his groin?! This place is getting sooo boring Why not?

LOL! And rightly so my friend If your woman is angry at you, make sure you stay close to an exit at all times and call over a couple of friends...you might need witnesses!

So is Stingray getting a cactus shoved into his groin by whatthemata or what?

English ONLY, please.
