and I found out Omer bows to Mecca five times a day and that sealed it.
Oh so his play on the court didn't do it, just purely xenophobic reasons? Trash his game all you want, but that stuff does not belong on here.
Also, you "found out"? You know he is from Turkey, right? Around 97% of Turks practice Islam. Great work there, detective.

Yeah. I googled it b/c I was curious about Turkey - assumed that most were Muslim but didn't realize it was 97%. I was thinking "well, he has a hot GF and he seems European / Americanized, surely he's not a practicing Muslim" but then I saw this...
I met Omer Asik last night
quote:
Omer Asik goes to the same mosque that I go to. I saw him a month ago and haven't seen him since. He gave me the "I speak no english" bit until he realized I was Muslim. He opened up to me and we chatted about religious stuff. He basically misses all of the Friday prayers because of practice or road trips.

i am! i ran into him at the masjid over a month ago. he's freakishly tall so he stands out. i had just interviewed him a few weeks before. he did not remember me. he was polite at the time. he was with a bunch of little guys. i know everyone is little next to him but they all looked like they were 5 feet tall. young guys.
Then later in that same thread the Muslim fanbois start to get in an argument b/c one is shia and one is sunni and they talked about not revealing the mosque that Omer goes to incase the other dude is crazy and has a bomb

Why shouldn't it be on here. He's my least favorite player of all time too. (Hornet or Pelican).
