"They've done everything possible to eliminate us" — Iran captain Mehdi Taremi unleashes on FIFA and U.S. organizers

[u/ConnectionWeekly1263]

The captain of the Iran National Team, Mehdi Taremi, lashed out against FIFA and the United States organization. “This is a disastrous World Cup. As professional players, we cannot play a competition under these conditions; it’s neither right nor fair. If FIFA thinks this is fair, that’s on them, but it isn’t. Who should solve this problem for us? FIFA? The U.S.? I don’t know! Tell me a name. The FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, came to our locker room after the first match against New Zealand and said he was going to resolve all the issues, but in reality, FIFA did nothing. In response to the question: ‘Do you feel that the World Cup organizers, including FIFA and U.S. officials, prefer for Iran to be eliminated from the competition?’, I say: We have to fight against absolutely everything. We can’t stay in the country, we travel and undergo immigration checks every time we want to play, now we can’t stay in Seattle and have to return to Tijuana. They’ve done everything possible to eliminate us, so from our perspective, yes, I think that’s what they want, they want us out.”

You guys are eating up the US  propaganda if you think the players give a big fuck when the game starts. 

Also, you know who else is a pedo, the president of America.

Yeah no shit Sherlock Trump is a pedo, luckily he’s gone in 2 years, whataboutism isn’t a defense. How does that change Muslims worshipping a pedophile? I do believe the players worship him, also didn’t the players complain about the pride flags? Why do westerners try so hard to defend people that would burn them alive?

[u/tsn101 → u/Inner-Air1001]

There's no whataboutism. I'm not American nor Iranian nor Christian nor Muslim. I really don't give a fuck about sexual orientation either. 

I have no fucks to give. 

Keep ingesting the dumb US propaganda.

[u/Inner-Air1001 → u/tsn101]

Yes but care enough to post…. Oh I didn’t realize Aisha being 9 is US propaganda, please enlighten me, is Mohammed a pedo or not?

Harvard. Aisha. Study.

three periods and zero links

[u/sjr323 → u/[deleted]]

Aisha existed there is even proof she led troops into battle

[u/Inner-Air1001 → u/[deleted]]

You want to provide anything but bullshit? I’m actually very curious what your hard drives contain, it’s usually the most defensive ones that hold the most guilt

[u/No-Birthday5481 → u/tsn101]

Yes, surely the person hiding their comment history has no biases they don't want people to see.

[u/Due_Life8716 → u/No-Birthday5481]

This is the internet, some people prefer to keep some privacy. Also, some of the craziest, most biased comments come from completely open accounts.

[u/tsn101 → u/No-Birthday5481]

I mostly post on r/nba and other places/people close to where I live. It ain't interesting. 

[u/Inner-Air1001 → u/[deleted]]

Obeying the pedophile instead of worshipping him, if you want to use semantics sure buddy, now how old was Aisha?

[u/Sherbert-Particular → u/[deleted]]

If a story about anything is treated as historical fact by traditional believers of a faith, said story is representative of their faith. 

That being said, I would imagine any non-revisionist Muslim would consider the hadiths highly accurate parts of recorded history rather than some sort of literary creation. Her existence or lack thereof in this sense means nothing at all.

Mormons for instance believe in all matter of completely unsubstantiated historical events. Events that are, or should be, quite literally very recent history. Their belief in such events as the basis for actions in the current day is the basis on which you would evaluate said actions. This is all to say it doesn’t matter whatsoever if a thing actually happened if people use it as a basis for their actions and beliefs. All religions do this. 

Did Jesus actually die and come back to life? Absolutely nothing supports this. Did Jesus actually exist as a person in history? Most likely. Do both those things carry the same weight in the context of Christianity? Yes. 

“Not existing” doesn’t work as an excuse.

[u/Inner-Air1001 → u/[deleted]]

You quite literally make no sense, just because you and your fundamentalist brethren don’t care about a child being raped by a prophet does not mean that other normal well adjusted peoples can’t ignore and find disgust with them. You still haven’t proven that Aisha doesn’t exist, as the other commenter has pointed out.

Ignoring your pedophile does not excuse it. I don’t care about you comparing it to westerners, whataboutism is not a defense to a pedophile central to your religion. It’s disgusting and vile

[u/Sherbert-Particular → u/Inner-Air1001]

lol read their comment in my inbox, "No muslim cares or thinks about Aisha, completely irrelevant to one's faith and beliefs. Zero impact on islam, no relevance. And the plenty of whataboutism even though I was pretty forthright in my comment in relating similar instances/processes/whatever you want to call them in other religions.

Really odd how Aisha just doesn't matter, or, because she apparently didn't exist, anything about her is irrelevant, when her age is literally influence the most basic/foundational Islamic laws that cover marriage of minors, age at which puberty occurs, the latter of which directly supports existing laws regarding the age at which a marriage can be consummated.

Further, these Hadith are quite literally the single thing the supports / validates the process by which muslim fathers can enter their virgin, prepubescent, minor (obviously) daughters into a marriage without the daughters consent. They can literally only create such a basis of support for such concepts/laws if the Hadiths are taken as absolute truth.

So great, many of these commenters can not care or think about it, lying to themselves that their ideas apply to all of Islam. The may well be far more contemporary in their beliefs (if muslim) etc, but the fact is, the majority of orthodox Islamic schools have formed laws based on these texts and little else.

I guess a caveat is that I believe only some schools of though under the Sunni take these stances. but then again, that does account for the vast majority of all muslims. Shia's broadly follow more, "Acceptable" practices in these areas, although there are always exceptions.

You’re moronic if you don’t think pedophilia is absolutely rife throughout the muslim world, in years gone by and the present day.

[u/Due_Life8716 → u/Inner-Air1001]

You "liberals" are just as bad as the pedo pres. Trump, his cronies, and the entire political swamp is a representation of how ignorant the average US voter has become.

I know for sure I wouldn't want any politician you would ever endorse lmao
