'Blasphemous' balls anger Afghans

[guyabano]

So you don't mind having Jesus or God, or few verses from the bible written on a ball you kick around on the ground with utter disrespect?

No ! Some soccer player even believe it bring good luck

In addition, who says, I kick a ball with disrespect?

I think you have to be "Looking" for "disrespect" to think putting countries flags on a ball is the utter display of it. IMHO

Just someone looking for a fight. :grumbling

Just the fact that americans (those high up in power) know what islam is what will cause disrespect and enmity betw. muslims and yet they arrogantly still do it. The big deal made at world cups about putting saudi flag on the balls was not enough attention to let them know that is a stupid idea to do. What about the protest and request of saudi to NOT put their flags on the balls. Like i said, some people are either very ignorant and insensitive about other's cultures or do it on purpose to stir up trouble.

You have every right to assume that an insult was intentional.
I have every right to assume that some are just looking for a fight.

I would love to know who made the balls. :rollseyes
