As Islam and Christianity are both Abrahamic religions, he would literally be thanking the same deity regardless.

And I wouldn't care one way or the other.

People would demand him being fired and the football stadium probably would become a lynch mob.

I couldn't care less, even if I gave two sh!ts about football. However, some of the God squad would be none too appreciative of his heretical shenanigans.

Then he wouldn't be a starting QB in the NFL. The main reason he is getting a chance is his popularity with the fans. He took that chance and is making the most of it and he is supposed to. Be he was lucky to get the chance considering that others before didn't get similar opportunities

Why do Americans have to be so "sensitive" ? Soccer players, both Muslim and Christian, do this all the time in Europe and other parts of the world, and no one gives a s****. Let people do whatever the f**** they wonna do.

99.9% of the time a player's religion doesn't matter over here either.

Part of Tim Tebow's hype, for whatever reason, is because he's an evangelical Christian.

Allah just means God in Arabic. He goes by at least 13 different names, Yahweh being the most prolific until english came around.

The different between Islam and Christianity is the prophet and the scripture.

Most people are christian in the US. However, catholics may be one of the popular subgroups, but I dont think they are the most popular.

Then... well, who cares? He wouldn't be loved by the Christians and Hated by Atheists, he would instead be loved by Muslims and still hated by Atheists (and probably some Christians).

Honestly though, he's a pretty good player. Makes the skeptic in me question if there is a God, and if he does watch football when someone like Tebow can make those turnarounds.

For some reason I always wonder how there can be so much hate against Muslims by some some Christians and vice versa.

I mean, they worship the same God. Jeez, its like a more hardcore version of Baptists vs Catholics are some ****.

Heh... I think it's great that he believes in a god that gives a flying fuсk about how his team does. That's a special kind of hubris, IMO... then agian, I also think he's praying ot nothing sooooo... Still, I guess the Pats' god was better than Tebow's god.... or something.

This.

I like my football coverage to be about the playing of football, not what some guy is doing on the side of the field while he's not actually being that remarkable at the game he's playing.

When Mike Tyson got out of jail he thanked Allah after every fight for awhile. I don't remember too many complaints about it.

But then again, this was pre 9/11, so I can't say what would happen now. Haven't paid too much attention to him since he went on a losing streak and only remember him from the Hangover.

SNL took a light poke at Tim Tebow but Pat Robertson response is what's making this an issue... but since when is Pat Robertson not the subject of controversy... if Tebow thanked Allah then Robertson would probably make a couple headlines talking crap about him, it's all about Pat Robertson if you haven't noticed.
