    I have Dish Anytime on one monitor (with both games going) while I work using my other two monitors.
    It actually works pretty well.

    Incorrect - the action is sinful in Islam, not the orientation.

    26:165 of the Quran is:

    أتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
    Ata/toona aththukranamina alAAalameen
    Do you approach males among the worlds

    The Arabic “Ata-tuna” means “do you approach” or “do you come after” (forgive the double entendre), not you are attracted to or lust over.

    And the Quran is one source of Islamic law, there are many others. There are plenty of Hadith confirming that the person who has a desire to sin but refrains from it is not just free from sin, but they are rewarded for their abstinence.

    So let’s not try and suggest that I have some sort of ulterior motive to lie about what the Quran says. I have nothing but sympathy for people whose societal norms don’t align with their sexual desires, of whatever inclination, but the Muslim position on marriage and sex outside of marriage is clear.

    Disagreed.

    Dest was MOTM, IMO.

    He did more on both ends of the pitch than anyone else in this match.

    Quite funny on the USMT threads.

    25 minutes to go and panic sets in. Digging trenches and bringing on the busses.
    They got the job done though and they won’t sack the manager tomorrow. :)

    Robinson is such a mixed bag, mostly great but then he’ll take these donkey touches and lose possession.

    Meh, we're not used to nice things.

    I cant say that I blame them; I was expecting Zimmerman to do something stoopid again to cost the US the match.

    I take it you weren’t watching the American feed, the dipshit commentator kept repeating that fact every few minutes like there were people just tuning in.

    I’ve managed to avoid those threads so far, thankful for this one so I can commiserate without going into that madhouse.

    By the way, what the ******** Haji Wright was thinking on this 97th minute last attack and his tame shot to the Iran keeper? The dude had a great chance to score or he could have just kept the ball by the corner flag. I picked the worst option in basically giving the ball back to the Iranians. Wasteman. The first 11 for Team USA is pretty decent but the bench is really poor. M
