Saudi Arabia's Football Team SNUBS A Minute's Silence For London Bridge Terror by Umartins1(m): 5:37pm On Jun 08, 2017


The Saudi Arabian soccer team refused to line up for a minute's silence for the London terror victims on Thursday night because it is not in keeping with their culture.

A spokesman for Football Federation Australia explained they were told a minute of silence was 'not in keeping with Saudi culture' ahead of the match.

Fans were left outraged at the display ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Australia in Adelaide.

I guess their action is a thumbs up to the terrorist.

This act isn't painting Islam in a good light at all.

We should collectively say NO to terror.

Islam and terrorism, abuse and blood shed are inseparable. Muslim who try to defend the reputation of Islam saying that terrorists and fanatics are extremists and are not supported by the quran are hypocrites who don't know the quran. Religion of peace---- iffa hear angry
