It's not just the Israeli team that could be an issue, the US team from the last world cup had two players that are half Jewish and have at least been to Israel, I'm not sure how often but they would probably have Israeli stamps in their passports. Regardless, I'd be very surprised if they gave anybody grief over entering the country during the World Cup, they knew before they ever submitted the bid that they would have to compromise on some issues.
lot of interesting information brought up here early in the thread, thanks for sharing the info dudes.
No that was him, he made the thread about being gay, and he seemed to be empowered and freed from years of feeling oppressed. It was locked, I believe, but it is still there, IIRC. Adeel, I am still very proud of you for coming out like that publicly, but apparently you are not allowed in Iran these days. Here is the thread where he came out to the world as a homosexual then later tried to deny it Please notice he never, EVER said "Walahi".....Adeel it is ok.....go get yourself some mancake... DD
...do you live here to know this? Have you had personal experience? Do you know Israelis who this happened to? I am in this country right now and my friends tell me they work alongside plenty of people who have been to Israel. Even if a passport did get rejected it doesn't mean Israeli's aren't allowed here, they are. Maybe it got rejected for some other reason. A lot of Indian and Paki passports get rejected as well. Would you call that anti-Gandhism?
Is it? In Houston, I have ten's of Paki friends and I always refer to Pakistani's as Paki's. No one seems to be offended by it. Are you racist?
Not at all, I am proud of Adeel for coming out about it in such a public way. Less proud that he felt ashamed later, but he still had the courage to do it in the first place. Especially as a Muslim, I mean that is major courage, IMO. Just trying to help you out, so that you don't offend people with those types of comments. Your choice whether to take the knowledge to heart or ignore it. DD
You cats are definitely onto something. Further investigation into the matter shows some pretty self loathing yet ambiguous stuff. 1. In a thread where he wants to write about Islamic women's rights, he randomly says http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=104802&page=1&pp=20 2. In this thread he denies being "white or transexual", but avoids the word homosexuality - http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=106257&page=1&pp=20 3. Another shocking post where he goes out of his way to talk about his hatred for gays - http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=2749009&postcount=30 4. Look at the title of this thread and Adeel's corresponding post, where he suggests 2.99 is the standard price for gay p*rn. He doesn't tip. - http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=2150674&postcount=14 5. In another post 10 days ago, Adeel casually uses the word in a different context: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=5740315&postcount=987 These are just 5 examples using the following google search - adeelsiddiqui gay site:bbs.clutchfans.net Over 11 pages of entries. I didn't even include the search terms "male scissoring", "twink", "nob", "anus", "self anal stimulation", or "homosexual". I think adeel has some issues with homosexuality that we all need to discuss before someone or their anus gets hurt. Maybe it's just a cucumber shaped fetish or a twink and bear dynamic that keeps him coming back for more, but regardless, it needs to be talked about.
Oh my god if you put anal into the search criteria, things get even worse! http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=122638 Thread Title: ANAL fans at Toyota Center Basically he talks about feeling very uncomfortable when there isn't some chunky male ass standing up in front of him. Male ass needs to be up in the air screaming and howling, not sitting on a seat hidden away from his view.
LOL. Finally found the thread. He denied it later, I guess he had second thoughts about possibly getting stoned (not in the good way) or something. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=122635 adeelsiddiqui: Spoiler
Oh wow, Hydhypedplaya is his cousin - that explains a lot. That's one angry family . But if Hydhypedplaya actually made that other thread, he has more of a sense of humor than I would have thought. Hmm. Unlikely. So adeelsiddiqui must really be gay.
Adeel, I may be 12 years older during the Qatar WC, but I doubt my timeless fashion sense will have evolved. Will it still be safe for me to wear hot shorts to the sporting events? Even if I manage to get past the authorities, can I get past your longing stares?
Where the hell did you find this photo of me. Stalker. By the way, adeel, I am sure you know most of these already, but I just put my research skills to work for you, here is a site with a lot of links for you: http://www.al-bab.com/arab/background/gay.htm
You've been hanging out in the UK too much. "Paki" is highly offensive in the UK, but not at all in the US. Weird, I know, but that's just how it is. On a side note, the word "moot" is used way to much in the D&D. I don't like that word.
Adeel, Your courage in admitting your gayness is admirable, I am still very proud of you for coming out in public. Way to go AMIGO ! DD
