"Quite a few Newcastle united fans wore Arabian style head dresses such as teatowells to the first match since the buyout. I think it was just a bit of fun. Some MPs say they are shocked. Anybody outraged?" I'm not outraged or shocked or crying. Nor do I find it abhorrent or any other word they use to make to sound dramatic. They are football fans showing support to the new owner. Same thing with the fellaini wigs and Spanish flags or shirts when torres signed for liverpool. People think to much into things these days and will always find something to be offended about. I worry more about children dying of lack of food and water each day. So I make sure I help raise money and help them. I'll get to the other stuff on the list once this is sorted. | |||

If your concern is more on the scale of children dying etc, then I'm sure you're aware that the keffiyeh is a potent symbol of the Palestinian people and is considered highly symbolic of their struggle. The keffiyeh is worn by Arabs around the world in solidarity with the people of Palestine. It's not a religious symbol, which many mistake it for.

The amount of food that is wasted in certain countries is crazy. " It might be helpful to have a read about the specific example of the keffiyeh, because it is worn only in Arab countries and for a reason. There are Muslims in many countries who do not wear it traditionally and that is because they are not Arabs. I wholly agree that hunger, poverty etc are important issues. In addition, until we understand each other (people across the various spectrums), we will never resolve such issues because someone, somewhere will always find conflict and blame. And describing a very important ethnic symbol as a tea towel, something you wipe the pots with, is actually not very pleasant. At least it should be called by the proper name. | |||

The keffiyeh is worn by Arabs around the world in solidarity with the people of Palestine. It's not a religious symbol, which many mistake it for. I can't link to the site, but if you search engine this title, you can read about it: THE HISTORY OF KEFFIYEH: A TRADITIONAL SCARF FROM PALESTINE I'm not aware of this fully. But what can I do about that? I can at least help feed hungry people and get water wells built. It's crazy in this time that hungry is still an issue. The amount of food that is wasted in certain countries is crazy. It might be helpful to have a read about the specific example of the keffiyeh, because it is worn only in Arab countries and for a reason. There are Muslims in many countries who do not wear it traditionally and that is because they are not Arabs. I wholly agree that hunger, poverty etc are important issues. In addition, until we understand each other (people across the various spectrums), we will never resolve such issues because someone, somewhere will always find conflict and blame. And describing a very important ethnic symbol as a tea towel, something you wipe the pots with, is actually not very pleasant. At least it should be called by the proper name. " That's what some of the fans used.. you are confusing those facts with some perceived desire to try and educate those who do not want to be exucated. They just want to win the FA cup | |||

"There were lots of fans who did this, some bought from fancy dress shops, it was just a bit of fun, but I did read on the NUFC page that someone is saying it’s racist…… Another kick in the teeth for us really, we can’t do right…." You can do right.. the critics are blinded by the fog on the Tyne.. | |||

"Quite a few Newcastle united fans wore Arabian style head dresses such as teatowells to the first match since the buyout. I think it was just a bit of fun. Some MPs say they are shocked. Anybody outraged? I'm not outraged or shocked or crying. Nor do I find it abhorrent or any other word they use to make to sound dramatic. They are football fans showing support to the new owner. Same thing with the fellaini wigs and Spanish flags or shirts when torres signed for liverpool. People think to much into things these days and will always find something to be offended about. I worry more about children dying of lack of food and water each day. So I make sure I help raise money and help them. I'll get to the other stuff on the list once this is sorted. If your concern is more on the scale of children dying etc, then I'm sure you're aware that the keffiyeh is a potent symbol of the Palestinian people and is considered highly symbolic of their struggle. The keffiyeh is worn by Arabs around the world in solidarity with the people of Palestine. It's not a religious symbol, which many mistake it for.

" Because people see the same thing in different ways, we will all never agree on complicated issue never mind simply ones. I don't try to convince anyone of anything but neither do I get offended by anything. I just accept its urge way it is and do my bit to make a difference that I can. As I'm sure most people do. | |||

"There's such a fine line nowadays between getting behind someone/showing supportive and being racist. If they'd had a German manager and wore lederhosen, would that be seen as a racist problem or a bit of dress up fun in support?" Is lederhosen worn as a symbol of the oppression of the German people, their struggle to survive etc etc? The best analogy I can think of would perhaps be if another nationality disrespected the symbol of the poppy, which symbolises remembrance of the suffering of war in UK culture. Most other countries might not see any special value in a paper poppy, but massive debates have been generated in international sports due to the wearing or non wearing of this seemingly innocuous symbol by UK teams. | |||

"Well the hypocrisy here is revealing .. the MP slagging of Newcastle United Fans having fun presumably has his petrol tank filled up with Saudi oil .. Probably doesn't wear a tea towel while he's doing it though? No. And that shows the hypocrisy.. " Not really the same thing though. Using someone’s products vs a half-arsed imitation or their national dress with a tea towel ... which people are tripping over themselves to interpret as racism or cultural appropriation without checking if the supposed victims are actually offended. | |||

"If we all buy electric cars the Saudis will be bankrupt soon & so will Newcastle. I think they are buying up the UK bit by bit to ensure we keep buying their oil. We have lockdowns to prevent travel, reduce emissions, sky high gas & petrol prices. Is the whole thing stage managed to curb human activity by stealth & fold lots of private companies & regain state control on the cheap? " They're already diversifying. | |||

"I guess it all depends on how the Saudi’s feel about it...I hate any kind of racial stereotyping if there is an undertone of inciting tension and division but I don’t think that was the case at all as I’m sure the Newcastle fans were doing it as a sign of unity to welcome the new owners and show they are happy about the takeover. However, I’m a Wolves fan and we were bought out by a Chinese company a few years ago and I’m sure there would have been uproar if our fans would have turned up to a game wearing stereotypical Chinese clothes and stretching our eyes like people used to do many years ago even though the sentiment would have been the same, and to be honest I wouldn’t have been happy about our fans doing that. Why is one less socially acceptable than the other though, and that’s a genuine question because I don’t know the answer or why I consider one acceptable and the other not. " Under currents and terms used show the clear deep rooted. Bias and true feelings. Those who know,know their full actions. Keyboard at its finest yet again the very tool used so many will attack and cannibalise on eachother,and make way for the chosen few to take full control and power once the Lesser's wipe themselves out.

"This joke is far less of a worry in comparison to the widespread criticism of the Middle East country’s poor human rights record! I don’t think this trivia will offend peeps that realise there’s no helping the ignorant. And we still put petrol in our cars .. Never mind the nonsense ‘whataboutary’ you do know that only a very small per cent age of petrol in the UK comes from Saudi don’t you? And a very small per cent of Newcastle fans wore Arabian headress ... Does that make it right?" Another Tommy name sake. At it again. Cant help it, its very catching heh. Passes the time. Very high level IQ and intellect. | |||
