Sister this got me feelin really sad, your my sis in islam and islam is the only identity you need!

To understand why i say this look to this thread:

http://www.islamicboard.com/basics-i...ht=nationalism

[PIE]"O Muslims, remember Allah, remember Allah. Will you act as pagans while I
am present with you after Allah has guided you to Islam, and honored you
thereby and made a clean break with paganism; delivered you thereby from
disbelief; and made you friends thereby?"
[/pie]

[pie]
It is
narrated by Abu Da'wud that the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said,

"He is not one us who calls for `Asabiyyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who
fights for `Asabiyyah or who dies for `Asabiyyah."[/pie]

[pie]
And in another Hadith, the Messenger of Allah (saaw) referring to
nationalism, racism, and patriotism said:

"Leave it, it is rotten." [Muslim and Bukhari][/pie]


[pie]and in the Hadith recorded in
Mishkat al-Masabith, the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said,

"He who calls for `Asabiyyah is as if he bit his father's genitals"
[/PIE]


I hope you dont take any offence inshaAllah.

supporting is like "calling for", make it stand out that your only identity is islam. No first and foremost business, "ONLY" identity is islam inshaAllah.

Yeah, but what a game!

Though, to tell the truth, Tennis and Boxing (what a combination) are my spectator sports of choice.

Back on topic, I think it would be cool if Muslims made an 'Ummah' team, because it would symbolise unity. However, it wouldn't be able to take part in the World Cup, as Ummah is not a country.
