Of course they have swimming pools.

Didn’t they put homosexuals in cages and drop them into swimming pools?


What does a Tunisian kid have to do with things that happened in Iraq and Syria during ISIS's control of certain areas?

An African won a swimming contest and the only offensive jokes are about his religion. We’ve come a long way as a nation.

African? Sure, he is from Northern Africa. That’s more Arab than African.

That's great. I am hopeful the American Olympic teams have the most disastrous showing ever with all of the wokeness and the liberal politicization of sports. The only exceptions are the few who made a concerted effort to display their pride in this country. The rest can wallow in their own disgrace.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a frick about the religious preference of Olympic athletes?

Yes he’s African. He’s likely Berber, with a Y-haplogroup subclade that is likely indigenous to North Africa. The region was ‘Arabized’ but there wasn’t wholescale displacement, as the Arabs themselves were a small group. This is true of North Africa west of Egypt, and Egypt itself.

Yeah i don't get the "outrage" or "surprise" over this. He's not the first Muslim to win Gold and probably not the first to win one in swimming. Why is this something to care about?

Good for him. That’s really an amazing story to be honest. His religion is irrelevant. Go frick yourself for trying to make it political.
