If he booms punts and we win the field position battle, and he's not a locker room cancer, he can be a satanist, for all I care

I believe Chris Jackson from — somewhere along the MS gulf coast (Gulfport) maybe, - he converted to Islam either while at LSU or right after.

Have worked with a ton of guys who are Islamic. They are great guys. He can worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster for all I care.
I tend to agree. If he does his job, and is part of the woodwork, that is fine. If he is a guy on a mission, we reserve the right to do otherwise.
Seems odd, two years early, he is making a public statement of sorts.

I did business with a group of Pakistani, I think they were all Muslim. Most were great guys, loved to go out , eat good food, and experience things. Always ordered virgin drinks. There was a couple who scared the crap out of me, real nervous and fidgety. They showed obvious contempt for women, waitress in particular. I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw their pictures on the news one day.

Sad sad day. Call me Islamophobe I don’t care ….yep I’m not cool with it and telling my daughters to cover up, walk behind a man, etc…17 that he can punt somewhere else
Yes, that is some direct Islamophobia.
Your daughters don't need to cover up or walk behind a man just because this kid is Muslim.

One has nothing to do with the other.

All the ones I've worked with are *** holes. I would try everything I could to make them feel comfortable and welcome, like make 9/11 jokes, telling them I expect them to share some of their virgins if they blow me up, etc. But didn't matter how welcoming I was to them, they just got more and more standoffish....

Sad situation. The Gospel is foolish to those who don’t believe
Some kid is Muslim. OK, so 17ing what?
Why does it matter?

He could be Buddhist or Jewish or Hindu. He could be Moron or Bahai.

It doesn't matter. As long as he contributes to the team and isn't a bad person off the field...nobody should give a 17.

You should’ve taken them some pulled pork.

Well - Mullen was a Scientologist. **

My family doctor is a Muslim. I inherited her when my old doctor retired, and at first the coverup thing was a little off-putting, but she's really nice and seems to be competent.

A lot of Christians would freak out if they found out that the only difference between Christianity and Islam is the crucifixion. Granted, that’s a pretty big difference, and fundamental to all of our worldviews. But truthfully there is some common ground there.

That said I’m a Christian so I obviously don’t agree with Islam. But demonizing folks doesn’t work either, if you’re interested in converting people - which sometimes I do wonder the true motives of my fellow Christians.

If he can kick high long punts I don’t care. I want him on our team. If he can’t I still don’t care, but I don’t want him.
