Why do some people call Zinedine Zidane a terrorist in this forum?

A headbutt (although disgraceful) does not make him a terrorist.
Is it because he is a Muslim and this is the easiest insult people can think of? As far as I'm aware he hasn't bombed any planes or trains.

By the way I haven't switched allegiance, I still support Italy.
I just think that it's in poor taste calling Zidane a terrorist.

Answers:
If there are two words that invoke a deep reaction and response in people, they are the words Terrorist and Racist and they have been thrown around the forum of late with little regard for the true meaning of the words. It is simple ignorance from some.
its wrong to all him that but he was so out of order, he needs to be called something
hes a really good player but hes not terrorist
Cmon girl, your smart! U know how people overreact and like to make big things. even bigger! :D
Zidan Is The Best Player On The World, And I Think That He Had The Right To Do What He Did.

Stay Cool
It is because he is Muslim. I think it's really bad. Being a muslim does not make you a terrorist.
its only small minded people who would say such things its called race hate it works in every country shame.
To call someone that is wrong in the sense of what a terrorist does. He is a soccer player, nothing close to a terrorist. Its wrong to call anyone that.
Because they're ignorant..he's not a TERRORIST!!
unfortunately it has become a fashion these days to harass Muslims and link them to terrorism whenever it happens.zidane was damn right to do what he did,before being a high profile footballer, he's just a man.and you have to stand up for that to defend your integrity and honour.
I, myself, am Muslim and I think that his religion has a part to play in it. Although he did commit a mistake, he's not a terrorist.
I hadn't seen those comments! I thought the point was that Zidane head butted that idiot in the World Cup as he called Zidane's mother something insulting regarding terrorism (she is Algerian I believe).

Zidane is lovely!

What I am noticing on this site is more anti-Muslim questions (which should be ignored) and some genuine questions that some (possible) Muslims have suggested as being anti-Islamic when they seem quite good questions for this site.

It's a shame both ways that there is a current tide of bad feeling. I feel sorry for Muslim friends who are getting the suspicious glances when they themselves don't want to be blown up by any terrorist. We have forgotten that Muslims died in 9/11 and 7/7.

All terrorists are anti-religious...and going back to your original question, should not be linked to sporting stars even in jest.
Because they know it gets to French fans.
There is no basis for it, no one believes he is
He is an amazing player, & i think most people would have done exactly the same if someone had insulted their family & a relgion they feel strongly about.(i am not religious so that wouldn't have bothered me) there are still a lot of narrow minded idiots who think all muslims are terrorists and all terrorists are muslims
ignorant peeps
hell yeah, i agree. but if you ask me.. they aren't trying to insult zidane or muslims like. they're just showwing off their stupidity
zidane is no more a terrorist than italian soccer players are cheaters.
i dont know why people do that. i think its stupid, just cause he is muslim they call him that. i dont know. i also support italy, but also france.
i guess there are just some people who believe that he is.i personally don't believe that he is.
It's the lack of knowledge that some people in this forum have. It is wrong to criticize people period.
People that call Zidane a terrorist, are not on this forum because of football, but just to provoke Zidane(French) fans !!!


btw: It was nothing disgraceful about head-butt, we (ordinary people) will never know how much pressure do players have on that kind of game!!!!
Yes, it is in terrible taste that people are still calling Zidane that. I think it's just ignorant people trying to vent their anger at the event that happened a month, almost two months ago. No, it certainly wasn't the best way to end his international playing carreer, but it happened and it's over. It's just a huge overreaction, that should have already passed.
CAUSE WHEN GOD WAS RAINING BRAINS SOME PEOPLE WERE HOLDING UMBRELLAS
Headbutting looked really violent
zidane isnt a terrorist, materazzi is
only psycos call him that.yet some psycos are here.

ps that made me laugh tozours..good one..
well, some ppl just dont get it, and they think of anything just to insult someone. calling Zidane a terrorist because he is a Muslim is offensive towards all Muslims. Its wrong and it should not be done.
Only small minded and ignorant people call him a terrorist. What he did was wrong but that doesn't make him a terrorist.
Allegations of the conversation between Materazzi and Zidane is still rumbling on.
it is a complete act of angering and harrasing aplayer and it is an utter act of racism
i dont know but the video on metacafe.com is funny
