Saudi Players Ignore minutes silence



Probably get pelters from some for starting this, but Saudi Arabias Football team refused to acknowledge a minutes silence before their game in Adelaide for the London Attacks and in particular the two Aussies who lost their lives.

The article states it is not Islamic to do this, but would it have hurt them to observe it or would Alan have vented his fury upon them.

I saw no mention of that.

If (when) civilians die in a drone strike, and the local country wants to observe a silence for them, what would the opposing team do? I'd generally think they'd join in or be somewhat respectful, but I don't know.

So it"s Alan Alda they are always chanting. I knew I'd misheard them.

Sad to think that nations like this are the ones our lovely old country will have to cuddle up to in our post-Brexit world. Expect not a breath of criticism from the blessed Theresa.

From the article:

Most of the Saudi Arabian side are Muslim and the custom of pausing for a moments silence to honour the dead is not common under Islam. Instead, it is custom to pray for the dead, give to charity on their behalf and remember.
