Muslim Wrestler in WWE!

yo wwe has reached a new low

professional wrestling has always been a passion of mine, and we all
loved it; waheed, mujeeb, me, haroon, etc.  - it entertained us
for so long, and has been really fun, however a new character recently
to make his debut on RAW has really pissed me off


Muhammad Hassan and Shawn Diavari

they created a new wrestler, Muhammad Hassan; a muslim
arab-american,
(who is accompanied by his manager, Shawn Diavari - (who supposedly
speaks in arabic but really speaks only farsi) - coincidentally
Muhammad Hassan isnt even muslim, or arab (hes italian), diavari is
muslim and iranian

well the premise for these 2 characters are that they are 2 regular
arab americans, who were enjoying life as regular americans until 9-11,
when they became victimized unfairly; now they are going to get revenge
for all of the unfair treatment and bias against their ppl (arab
americans).

now this past monday they made their debut to raw… and basically what happened was….

Mick Foley comes out to the ring, he says he has been pretty much a Raw guy
but next week he is going to make a little trip to Smackdown. The fans
boo, but Mick tells them to take a look at the Titan Tron. It's a video
package all about the WWE heading to Iraq for their 2003 trip. Mick
Foley says he might not seem like a war guy, since he is mostly against
war, and he still has his Kerry bumper stickers in his garage. (Alabama
boos, they are a red state.) Foley then says he wants to go over there
though and be a part of all this and he is VERY proud to do so. As this
happens, Mohammed Hassan has some music played and he comes to the top
of the ramp with Daivari, INSTANT HEAT.

Daivari
says something
in Arabic. Hassan then speaks saying that all people will listen to him
now. He cuts a damn good promo but the people “what” the hell out of
him. Dumb ass fans. Hassan says that that he is a prisoner in his own
country and he used to support America, but after 9/11. He also calls
the troops idiots and even refers to them as INFIDELS!!!! Hassan argues
“how can u support this unjust war?”, Foley replies ” I SUPPORT
AMERICA! They REALLY get into it
after that with back and forth political words. Foley tells him that
he's pissing him off, but many people have died so this ass can shoot
his mouth off. He says people can run their mouth off EVERYWHERE,
except in this ring. He says some call it the squared circle, but he is
going to call it Foley Island! Mick Foley begs them both for a fight
telling them when they enter Foley Island they will get a fist in the
mouth and a boot in the ass. Hassan is JUST about to do so but then he
stops. He then gets on the mic and says “no, because I will not fight a
man I do not respect.” Hassan then leaves.

This is horrific, and i am appalled. First off, no offense, but
generally wrestling fans are not very diverse, and are not the
brightest ppl in the world - to depict these images of arab americans
as heels who hate america is not only irresponsible on WWE's part, but
damn right an outrage! This does NOT help the image many dumb americans
have towards arabs and muslims in general and I do not like the
direction the WWE is headed….
