Is there any way to pause this and pick up where I left off... 🤣

An investigation by SVD has surfaced some rather uncomfortable truths regarding Kaplan's alleged ties to far-right extremists... one wonders how much more might come to light if we kept digging.

Prior to his current role, he served as a spokesperson for the Muslim Council of USA (2005–2006) and Young Muslims of America (2000–2002)... He was also a founding member of American Muslims for Peace and Justice, a Muslim peace movement, while remaining a staunch advocate for the US peace movement... Furthermore, he served as a member of the board of the Green Party between 2003 and 2011...

Kaplan was on board the Ship to Gaza flotilla which tried to send necessities through the Israeli embargo of the Gaza strip. The Israeli armed forces boarded the flotilla on 31 May 2010 and the clash killed 9 flotilla members in the heat of battle...

During a Fight Racism Now seminar held in Visby on July 1, 2014, Kaplan drew a comparison between the young Muslims from Sweden who joined various factions in the Syrian civil war—including the Islamic State—and the young Swedes who stepped up to defend Finland against Russia during the Second World War's Winter War. While Kaplan later claimed his remarks were taken out of context, he did concede that his choice of words was somewhat clumsy...

During an interview with a Turkish newspaper, Kaplan stated that it is natural for Sweden to recognize Palestine as a state, suggesting that the occupied territories would eventually be liberated—God willing—and that Jerusalem will become the capital of Palestine. He further maintained that Israel would ultimately be compelled to enter into a peace agreement...

Kaplan stands as the first Swedish minister to be a practicing Muslim. He has also been labeled being an Islamist by various personalities, including the former Member of Parliament, Nalin Pekgul of the Swedish Social Democratic Party...

Back in April 2016, Kaplan faced a wave of backlash due to his ties to Islamists in Turkey [5]; specifically, he had met with Ilhan Sentürk, the leader of the Turkish nationalist group the Grey Wolves, and encountered individuals from the Islamist organization Milli Görüs on multiple occasions [6]. Naturally, this has sparked quite a few uncomfortable conversations in Sweden regarding where Kaplan actually stands on the issue of extremism...

🤣 Sweden, charging full steam ahead... 😍

Not at all. They ought to face the penalties mandated by laws aligned with European standards.

That would likely mean a few years behind bars, followed by two or three on parole... I recall a similar case that ended just that way.

A soft Europe, soft laws; they really do go hand in hand...

The American judicial system 🙏 provides yet another example of the rather colorful approach to sentencing found throughout the entire Western world... 🙏

I always had a certain appreciation for the crowd at the Thunderbirds games...

I seem to recall renting that one from Blockbuster, though that feels like a lifetime ago...

The current state of affairs in Chicago 🐔

Who actually filmed this, who bankrolled this entire production, and most importantly—who on earth benefits from it? It’s just a mindless flick serving as the grand finale to an equally pointless series. They spend the whole time sprinting through the streets while traps trigger behind them... And people call this a hit book? Give me a break. 😕

The government is actually doing something for once...

Considering the current state of the American education system and the questionable caliber of its universities, any dollar spent on them feels like money tossed straight into a void...

brightpilot6 said:Exactly. It’s hard to take the hype seriously when you realize this is a sport played at a high level in maybe a dozen countries globally.

I know a certain sport you all seem obsessed with, which is taken quite seriously in exactly one country...🐔 😁

In a sport where almost every offensive drive ends in a missed shot, you really need a goalie who can actually step up and make a save. When teams are clinching championships, the keepers usually hover around a 30% save rate—that’s plenty—but if you're sitting at half that, well, you're just out of luck... Your offense has to take an absurd number of shots just to compensate for those zeroes. That might work against some bottom-tier teams, but you aren't going to find those easy openings when you're facing a powerhouse like the French 🤣

steelharbor9 said:Regarding fouls, there’s nothing quite like watching someone jump into the lane just to sink a shot from the floor... I recall back in the day, Abalo would basically set up camp on the hardwood for a split second before releasing...

I think I saw it happen once too—back when we were facing Poland and needed that +14 cushion to stay ahead of Horvat... suddenly, they all realized he was technically in the paint 😁

Go ahead and drag my name through the mud if you want, Rezi, but half those shots wouldn't even go in if the player wasn't already touching the floor 😁 Even if it isn't simultaneous, the contact happens well before the release 🤣

I find these sentencing guidelines quite agreeable, as they allow for discretion in almost any assault case... 🤣

What an absolute joke this Baker is 🤣

I might just have to hand in Babić's resignation after this absolute disaster...

I honestly couldn't care less about one more medal ☕

Watch this statement:
I honestly thought Stevens wouldn't be able to hold up his end for two games in a row!!!!!

Get that moron off the national team...

The man is genuinely dim-witted, which almost makes him charming in its own way...

I suggest we bring in those guys from the local water works; perhaps some faulty groundwater issues were actually responsible for this loss... it really warrants an investigation.

And how did our goalkeepers hold up, dear Dzomb? 😁
