If reporting is to be believed Omar Artan was denied entry to the US because of suspected links to members of terrorist group Al-Shabaab (sometimes written Al-Shabab).

Guess what, Arfan has officiated at numerous youth football matches in the Middle East and Africa. Guess what the word for youth is in Arabic? Al-Shabab.
Guess what else, one of the top football teams in Somalia is called Al-Shabab FC.

You cannot make this shit up!!!!!

Bear in mind, Arabic only has about 30 different words in total.

Each one has fifteen separate meanings.

You gotta admire the commitment to economy.

Never mind all that shite, I hear premium beer at the world cup events in the US is around $18/US pint

Is that Bud lite

 

[chrisw]

Never mind all that shite, I hear premium beer at the world cup events in the US is around $18/US pint

So, in real Pint measurement (a US pint is around 20% less) that is US$21.62 or £16.12 (at £0.7456).

Makes central London look cheap.

I thought an Al Shabbab was a form of junk food made from a paste of ground up animal waste products which Muzzies sell to drunken white people?

I suppose that is a form of terrorism. I fail to see how it also counts as a kickball team though.

No, you are thinking of Kweir Schwarma.
