This is interesting. The Egyptian soccer coach only allows devout Muslims on his team. I mean, I see where he's coming from. If you're religious, you pray to God often. If you pray to God often, you pray that you win. If you win, then you win different cups, games, etc. But to single out Christian players? What if they're religious Christian players in Egypt that are really good? And what if these so called Muslims are pretending to be religious just to be on the team? I don't follow up often on Egyptian soccer games, but I'm pretty sure there have been excellent Christian players on the teams before (El-zamalek, Ahly, etc). I just don't think your religion should be based on whether or not you get to play on a team. If you're religious, excellent. If you're Muslim--good. If you're Christian--good. Let's keep a person's religious beliefs out of this and just WIN! And pray that we win!
