Oh dear god, apparently there are a lot of players on my old team and some of the team I play with right now in FM 2007. I must admit, I'm a pretty awful guy, so the sadistic possibilities are simply endless :D.
A few years ago I went through a pretty bad injury which prevented me from playing football for months. A big blow, since I had taken a starting spot in one of the Djurgården youth teams. When I was back my stamina was lousy and I was put on the bench. With no motivation left, I quit club football.

The guy responsible for the injury, a former club and current class mate is now a very promising goal keeper in FM07, and I keep hearing how people on the internet have bought him to their Barcelona squads etc. Asshole. :D

you were pretty disappointed to learn that Saddam didnt crucify catholics
I heard he was a big Mel Gibson fan.

...or maybe that was Debbie Gibson. :confused2

I can only imagine the CIA conspiracy theories of double dates between "Debdam" and "Osama bin Houston" (Osama & Whitney Houston).

Stand-up comedians sue Mosque
Several stand-up comedians in Amsterdam including the nationally famous Etienne Kemerink, have sued a Mosque in the capital after its imam had called for the murder of those who make fun of Islam.

The imam's literal wording: "Let there be no mistake: those who make jokes about Islam may be murdered in the name of Allah!"

These Imam's lack any kind of religious/political astuteness. Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) forbade his Sahaba (followers) from killing the hypocrites in Medina. These hypocrites were well known that they became Muslims but secretly hated Islam and conspired in different occasions against Islam and killing the prophet. They also made fun of Islam on different occasions. Were they killed? NOPE!!

Yes, I know that but that's because I've taken it upon myself to look into the religion of Islam and study some aspects of it. Few people here did the same. And at the same time, we have quite a number of imams in this country who have been warned/sued/imprisoned for repeatedly urging their followers to 'take a violent stand against infidels' or to 'murder those who insult Islam' or to simply 'attack the foundations of democracy and honour the Sharia'.

That's a problem because:

1) There are a lot of frustrated young Muslims in this country (who, admittedly, are frustrated because this society and previous governments have failed to make them feel part of the nation they were born in)
2) These frustrated people are vulnerable to influences
3) These sermons are no less than ignitions for terrorist activity

These imams make violence look like the ultimate solution to all problems, and at the same time people are willing to listen to them. People who hold power in any given religion are very dangerous.

That means the reaction to all of this from Dutch 'natives' (for lack of a better word) is as follows:
  • Imams represent Islam (and Allah which few people realise is the same as "God")
  • Imams want "us" (that would be "the Dutch" in popular terms) dead
  • Therefore: Islam is a violent religion
  • Thus: all Muslims must be violent extremists who seek nothing else but "our" destruction

And there you have it: the vicious circle we currently find ourselves in.

True.. It's a sad day when you realize that most people can be more potent at being an imam than the ones we have currently.. Thing is, if you're dumb, and you don't do well in school, you're usually got a life of beard-growing contests up ahead of you :p

Of all the things I've messed up this one must be the worst. I thought I had an exam tomorrow. Apparently I have it in three hours. I'm not going to do this one very well :D.
