There are many more young and talented players which are muslims, and what i'm intending to do here is that what had happened the other day during Super Cup Barcelona vs Real Madrid (which saw Barcelona won on 3-2).

It is not known on what exatly David Villa said to Ozil, but he (Ozil) responded on quoting “I did this because I was defending my religion because David Villa insulted Islam.”

Whatever it is, insulting someone else religion is a big no no in any country. In this case, the accused Villa had to do the justification. You just made your reputation hang in the balance dude.

Live life to the fullest, stay strong to your believes, and in my case (and many more throughout the world), we believe in Allah and la ilaha illallah..


p/s: I'm proud that quite a number of my favorite players is Muslim, furthermore since they are the Gunners ;-)
