Has anybody heard of the NFL's disciplining a Muslim player for making a gesture of prayer after scoring a touchdown- whilst never doing the same for Christian counterparts who make similar gestures?

Personally I think that if Muslim players are going to be disciplined for such gestures, then so should their "infidel/kuffar" counterparts( pace Tim Tebow)>

Anybody think as I do?

As the player himself said, he was flagged for sliding into the prayer pose which goes against the NFL rules in celebrating on the ground. This had nothing to do with his religion. If a Christian athlete would slide into a prayer pose, he would be flagged as well.

Yet another misinformed and poorly thought out topic. Par for the course. Thanks for religion baiting.

The league already released a press statement saying that the referees were wrong to give him a penalty.

NFL already made a statement on it saying that he shouldn't have been punished.

Tim Tebow was never flagged for 'Tebowing' I don't think. Everyone thinks he disapeared from the NFL because of him being very religious, when really it was because he sucked...

I don't think he ever did it in the end zone.

And the second part is obvious.
