You Can't Spell 'God' or 'Goals' without 'Go'

The Spoiler has found an interesting vid from the Norwegian league featuring two Bosnian Muslim players prostrating in prayer after a goal, only to be pseudo-sodomized by teammate Espen Nystuen.

The object of offense might be obvious, but am I the only one more offended by the preposterous notion that Allah the Benificent, the Merciful would give a Goddamn over a garbage strike scored in a lonely Scandinavian league? It's like Dani Alves signing himself, or those Jesus shirts at the end of the Confed/World Cup.

Can we all take Denmark Football Federation Secretary-General Jim Stjerne Hansen's reminder about FIFA Law 4 Decision 1 seriously? I disagree by the way with the Offside's assertion this is a 'tricky' issue...it seems to me irreligious in the extreme to suppose God is scoring goals for you, or that She even peticularly cares about one's success on the football pitch. A religious person might be thankful for continued employment in a field they enjoy, but to genuflect and sing Te Deums of thanks if your fax to Sales and Marketing goes through on the third try? No thanks...
