Saudis Refuse to Honor London Dead at Soccer Match in Australia

Lest anyone be deceived by taqiyya spectacles in Britain, where Muslims have not yet achieved majority status, here is how much respect the victims of Islam receive from Muslim majority Saudi Arabia:

The Saudi Arabian soccer team refused to line up for a minute’s silence for the London terror victims on Thursday night…

Fans were left outraged at the display ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Australia in Adelaide.

Pictures show the Australian team lined up at the halfway mark, with the Saudi players ignoring the gesture as they get in formation to start the game.

Saudi players on the bench refused to stand for the minute’s silence.

Colin Kaepernick would be proud.

The moment of silence was anything but silent, as Saudi fans spent it shouting.

It has been claimed that honoring the dead with a moment of silence is a cultural thing that they just don’t get. However, Muslim teams have observed the gesture to honor people who were killed other than by Islamic terrorists. Imam Mohammad Tawhidi sees no need to prop up the lame excuse:

Tawhidi says it is a ‘lie’ to say the Muslim culture does not remember the dead with a moment of silence, and instead argues the football team did not partake in the mourning because they stand with the jihadist men.

‘They did not stop for a moment of silence because according to Wahhabi Islam – which governs Saudi Arabia – it is not wrong or a sin for a Muslim to kill a non-Muslim,’ he told Daily Mail Australia. …

‘In their eyes the attackers are martyrs who are going to paradise. And if they stand for a minute of silence they are against their Muslim brothers who fought for jihad and fought the ‘infidels’,’ he said.

Sheikh Tawidi also added the team would have been ‘ridiculed’ back home if they had commemorated the victims of the London terrorist attack.

Two Australians were killed in the London Bridge and related Borough Market attacks. Two others were stabbed in the neck but survived.
