The pot calling the kettle black if ever we saw it, Rafiq is no better than any other racist.
I hope nobody listens to anymore of what this fool says.

I find it bizarre that people are using this disgusting Facebook comment by rafiq 10 years ago as some kind of comfort blanket to avoid the actual discussion this week. Rafiq has been an idiot - not just today’s antisemitism but also for doing things against his beliefs to “fit in” as he put it - lots of people in this world that go Through shhht but don’t do that.
Facts are that Cricket is institutionally racist in this country, Yorkshire's handling of it was diabolical, the ECB aren't for for purpose. None of that's changed

Look forward to the alternative meanings of yidd then - if there are any. My understanding is that it has historically racist connotation. Something Spurs have constantly asked fans not to use …. Unless things have changed I stand corrected

Given that you are not a Spurs fan and lacking in any kind of meaningful intelligence, I will explain.
In layman`s terms, Spurs fans are happy to use the word Yidd as an act of defiance. It goes way beyond being offended by it. Don`t tell me you have never heard the Spurs fans chant `Yidd Army`, obviously not given you are so clueless about the use of that word by Spurs fans.

Yes I’ve heard and know Spurs fans long term use of it. Doesn’t mean to say it hasn’t been offensive and is still considered by many as a racist term - whether Spurs fans like it or not… but given your kaaant-ish behaviour on here with regards to racism it doesn’t surprise me an iota that you wouldn’t take anyone else’s opinions (jews included such as abramovich)….

You are probably right here. Which actually makes the point of how YCCC had produced such a toxic enviroment, where racist comments were normalised
OK the way I see this, he was televised in the house of Lords crying whilst giving an account of white people saying nasty things to make fun of his Asian heritage although he himself had posted nasty things to make fun of Jewish peoples heritage. Isn't it time to shut this down?
Drinking to fit in??? There are pictures circulating of him necking directly from a 2 litre bottle of vodka. That's not fitting in, that's getting smashed.
I think one of the reasons Rafiq has overlooked the initial problems is he seemed a bit of a tool in his younger days. Just from what I’ve read.
But I do find it weird, Asians are encouraged all the time to come to the pub, integrate, act like the others but then stories come out about them drinking and then there is outrage? Seems kind of odd to me.

The term 'Asians' is a bit broad.
Muslims are not encouraged to drink, for obvious reasons. You don't need to drink alcohol to fit in.
I have a Muslim friend, not once have any of us encouraged him to drink (Also its handy when we go out as he drives).
But let's just say Rafiq had to drink to 'fit in'... There's a difference between that, and getting plastered drinking from a 2 litre bottle of grey goose.

It’s fine blaming the cricket club, and they do deserve plenty of criticism. But are you telling the individuals involved didn’t know they were in the wrong? It’s about time people start taking responsibility of their own behaviour and actions, rather than hiding behind the ‘well they let me do it so it’s ok’ BS. Attack the invidual, not the organisation.
But thats the point, now we are talking about Muslims right?
So in these counties and actually in most workplaces I’ve seen, there seems to be a lot of ignorance about people being Muslim. for example their prayer times which has been mentioned by other county players.
The amount of times I’ve heard someone say to a Muslim guy at work:
‘You can come to the pub at least, you don’t need to drink’
That seems to put pressure on him to come to a place they don’t really enjoy just because everyone else enjoys it.
Even if that is the case and you want that to happen, why the outrage over someone getting plastered like some of the other people there?
No issue in getting plastered, but, when you go to the press, crying victim, and saying they pinned him down and forced red wine down his neck. I had to drink jyst to fit in etc.. Alluding to Yorkshire not respecting his beliefs.
But then pictures of him willingly necking from a 2 litre bottle.... Sorry, it just doesent sit right with me.
Absolutely, in Rafiq’s case, I’ve never for once believed that he ONLY drunk to fit in and also he didn’t mention this earlier because he was in denial. He has made his issues far more difficult for himself by his actions as a youngster.
However, I also have a problem with many work cultures picking and choosing when to respect a religion and when to completely be oblivious to it.

Spot on. This is what I meant yesterday when I said he’s been an idiot (even before yesterday’s news).
There are many people don’t do things to
“Fit in” whether that is drinking or vegans eating nesting on a night out etc. So for me, rafiq can’t be using they went against my beliefs when he’s been a prikk himself - it’s plain wrong and he knows it.
The thing about people not understanding Muslims and drinking is another one… I don’t blame them given there are some (although in minority) that do it regularly. Each to their own, people do as they please and nobodies actions should be deemed as representing a whole race/religion - good or bad.
Dont necessarily expect people to understand every culture or religion- In Hindus for example, drinking alcohol is considered a major sin and completely forbidden in some castes, in others it’s about moderation but you wouldn’t expect a white England man in Sunderland to know that - don’t blame them for that

Rafiq has been an idiot - not just today’s antisemitism but also for doing things against his beliefs to “fit in” as he put it - lots of people in this world that go Through shhht but don’t do that.
Facts are that Cricket is institutionally racist in this country, Yorkshire's handling of it was diabolical, the ECB aren't for for purpose. None of that's changed

An idiot? Would your manner be as mild if Vaughan had said something similar about an Asian? Methinks not.

Here we go…. “Person subjected to continual racism also once said something racist therefore racism is ok!”
What’s the over under on the number of responses that forward that argument? Jeez.. people need to grow up on the issue
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You means he’s only been been caught once. Do you honestly think this is the first time he’s ever made a derogatory remark about Jews or any other race?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are probably right here. Which actually makes the point of how YCCC had produced such a toxic enviroment, where racist comments were normalised

OK the way I see this, he was televised in the house of Lords crying whilst giving an account of white people saying nasty things to make fun of his Asian heritage although he himself had posted nasty things to make fun of Jewish peoples heritage. Isn't it time to shut this down?

Drinking to fit in??? There are pictures circulating of him necking directly from a 2 litre bottle of vodka. That's not fitting in, that's getting smashed.

I think one of the reasons Rafiq has overlooked the initial problems is he seemed a bit of a tool in his younger days. Just from what I’ve read.
But I do find it weird, Asians are encouraged all the time to come to the pub, integrate, act like the others but then stories come out about them drinking and then there is outrage? Seems kind of odd to me.

The term 'Asians' is a bit broad.
Muslims are not encouraged to drink, for obvious reasons. You don't need to drink alcohol to fit in.
I have a Muslim friend, not once have any of us encouraged him to drink (Also its handy when we go out as he drives).
But let's just say Rafiq had to drink to 'fit in'... There's a difference between that, and getting plastered drinking from a 2 litre bottle of grey goose.

Billy posting comments about racism whilst having “yidd” as his username. What was that about pot kettle black?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You have no idea what you are talking about pal, I`ll leave it to others to explain
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Look forward to the alternative meanings of yidd then - if there are any. My understanding is that it has historically racist connotation. Something Spurs have constantly asked fans not to use …. Unless things have changed I stand corrected
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So if a black person uses the N word, are they racist?

It’s fine blaming the cricket club, and they do deserve plenty of criticism. But are you telling the individuals involved didn’t know they were in the wrong? It’s about time people start taking responsibility of their own behaviour and actions, rather than hiding behind the ‘well they let me do it so it’s ok’ BS. Attack the invidual, not the organisation.

But thats the point, now we are talking about Muslims right?
So in these counties and actually in most workplaces I’ve seen, there seems to be a lot of ignorance about people being Muslim. for example their prayer times which has been mentioned by other county players.
The amount of times I’ve heard someone say to a Muslim guy at work:
‘You can come to the pub at least, you don’t need to drink’
That seems to put pressure on him to come to a place they don’t really enjoy just because everyone else enjoys it.
Even if that is the case and you want that to happen, why the outrage over someone getting plastered like some of the other people there?

No issue in getting plastered, but, when you go to the press, crying victim, and saying they pinned him down and forced red wine down his neck. I had to drink jyst to fit in etc.. Alluding to Yorkshire not respecting his beliefs.
But then pictures of him willingly necking from a 2 litre bottle.... Sorry, it just doesent sit right with me.

Absolutely, in Rafiq’s case, I’ve never for once believed that he ONLY drunk to fit in and also he didn’t mention this earlier because he was in denial. He has made his issues far more difficult for himself by his actions as a youngster.
However, I also have a problem with many work cultures picking and choosing when to respect a religion and when to completely be oblivious to it.

Spot on. This is what I meant yesterday when I said he’s been an idiot (even before yesterday’s news).
There are many people don’t do things to
“Fit in” whether that is drinking or vegans eating nesting on a night out etc. So for me, rafiq can’t be using they went against my beliefs when he’s been a prikk himself - it’s plain wrong and he knows it.
The thing about people not understanding Muslims and drinking is another one… I don’t blame them given there are some (although in minority) that do it regularly. Each to their own, people do as they please and nobodies actions should be deemed as representing a whole race/religion - good or bad.
Dont necessarily expect people to understand every culture or religion- In Hindus for example, drinking alcohol is considered a major sin and completely forbidden in some castes, in others it’s about moderation but you wouldn’t expect a white England man in Sunderland to know that - don’t blame them for that
