While I don’t agree with his faith, I agree with his dedication to his faith. I applaud any man who’s principles hold true in every situation. I have risked getting fired for refusing to work on a Sunday, and I would have taken the firing rather than give in.

Ever seen Chariots of Fire?

Hakeem Olajuwon took that approach during Ramadan with the Houston Rockets. I think it made a great player even greater in his case.

There was a guy from Brigham Young Univ a few years ago that was drafted pretty high up. Once drafted he said that he couldn’t play on Sundays because he was a Morman & Sundays were for church.

I, too, can not condemn him for this and Chariots of Fire also came to mind .

“his faith .. his faith”

I know what you’re saying. But I think you have to be careful you’re not accepting the lib premise that it’s all the same, “your faith, his faith, whatever”

Islam is a bald-faced lie. 1600 years after the Old Testament was written they knocked off parts of it & crossed out jewish names & put arab names. Any 5 year old could see that!

It’s the 6th century equivalent of scientology! A farce! Laughable, pathetic fiction. Unfortunately time blurs those edges for most people.

When you stand up for Biblical principles, you are doing something good.

When this guy plays a worse game of football than usual it is because he’s following blatant lies. Following blatant lies arbitrarily is not good. It’s foolish.

Muslims who kill infidels are very dedicated to their faith. In fact, thoughout history Muslims dedicated to their faith have destroyed countries, peoples, plundered, forced countless others to “convert” to Islam, tortured, raped, pillaged and enslaved whole populations - all because of dedication to their faith.

Muslims who kill infidels and conquer turf in the name of Islam are very dedicated to their faith.

In fact, if they keep being dedicated to their faith in great numbers, they will either control the whole world or other people will have to stop them by force.

I know which outcome I’d rather see.
