Oh how I want to be at The Jihad, oh when the Saints go ....
Great night at The Jihad !
At least after quarter time when we stopped trying to play the Shytney game plan.
Great to see some of the younger players coming through.
How good was Gilbert.
Zac Dawson looks like the Maguire replacement in our defence.
Farren Ray was handy.
Goddard already looking like a good bet for our B&F
And the usual good-things went well - Ball, Dal, Fisher, Monty
Great to see Bakes back.
And Gardiner looks like he might deliver this year.
All in all a solid start at The Jihad.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

How on earth can it suggest that?bergholt wrote:probably because it suggests that all arabic words sound the same and are only spoken by terrorists; which is doubly offensive because it conflates arabs and muslims.rodgerfox wrote:Why?dcstkfc wrote:I feel that the reference to Jihad is offensive to the Islamic community.

But it's not called that, you are going out of your way to change it from a name to something that represents death and war initiated by the muslim people, that is not political correctness going to far.
Lets start calling the MCG the KKK

Now that is an offensive comment.
Once you get down off your high horse, perhaps do some reading before you come across as an ignorant moron more concerned with how other people conduct their lives than your own.
Means something along the lines of 'holy struggle' although in practise it is usually a religious war analogous with the christian's Crusade.rodgerfox wrote:Jihad doesn't mean 'death and war initiated by the muslim people'.ausfatcat wrote:St. Luke wrote:Well I'm calling it the Jihad Why dance around on tippy-toes about calling it that?
