Seriously, it's only once every 33 years, and the Winter games conflict in some 15 years is a whole lot easier because of the cold and shorter days.Jed Carosaarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775889983099808362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18220453.post-44642992038980732072012-07-26T17:18:14.090+00:002012-07-26T17:18:14.090+00:00I'm a Moroccan woman, living in tne Netherland...I'm a Moroccan woman, living in tne Netherlands and I can tell you some Muslims really do not know the words: Personal Freedom. Wheter or not the offical fatwa(in my opinion a big nonsense) has allowed the sportsmen to eat; it is up to the individuals themselves how to practise their religion. Maybe I am just too dutch, but why do they mind other people their business? If a Moroccan eats during the Ramadan - like I always do by the way - the Muslim Moroccans get agressive and verbal, but if a Moroccan steals a handbag, or does terror the same Muslims don't say anything and they are absolutely not defensive. Very hypocrite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
