No one abused me for not taking part. I was running late and was ordering beers. I didn't realise it was taking place. I obviously would have taken part if I realised it was going on.This whole saudi thing where they did not take part in a minutes silence has got a little out of hand.
Its a shame the media did not research why saudi culture does not believe in honouring birthdays , deaths etc. it is not a Muslim custom , its a wahabist custom which is a very strict version of islam.
Yes the saudis have given a minutes silence previously at other games but they had the permission from their religious council. Imagine if they honoured the minutes silence and then where punished by their religious council when they arrived home.
What we saw thursday night was a clash of cultures and not individuals dishonouring the deceased.
There was loads of people the same as me.
