"Muslim players in European soccer teams are a proof that their faith and cultures are not stumbling blocks hindering contribution to the development of their societies in all domains," Anas al-Tikriti, former chairman of the Muslim Association of Britain, told IslamOnline.net. "They can help clear misconceptions about Islam and prove that the Muslim faith is a way of life," he added. Many Muslim players have captured the limelight during their participation in the world football gala. Among them is French playmaker legend and three-time FIFA World Player of the Year Zinedine Zidane. His expected successor, midfielder Franck Ribery, has also made headlines during his country's opener against Switzerland. Ribery, a native French revert, raised his hands and supplicated to God like a typical Muslim before the kickoff.

Imagine, If France moves on to win the cup. And when they're handing them the trophy Zaidane would throw a speech to all the millions watching and says something about what's going in Gaza! My god that would be the BEST THING that someone could do to Islam.
