Boxers and their religion

It is becoming awfully trendy.

 

Also, all the Albanians (Krasniqi, Muiriqi, etc.) are Muslim. You know, not all Islamic people are brown and wear turbans....

 

I have heard that both Klitschkos are Christian, but the source is unreliable. Can anyone verify or refute this?

 

LOL, yeah, not the first time either. In the late 70s/early 80s top 10 175lbers Matt Franklin (Loach) Dwight Braxton and Eddie Gregory all converted...

 

David Tua, Chris Byrd, and Lamon Brewster are all Christians.

Lucia Rijker is a Buddhist... I think.....

 

On a side note I was going to school in Jerusalem last summer and one of my class mates was wearing a Star of David and a Cross. I asked her why she had both. She told me she was a Cristian but had Jewish haratige. She explaned to me that Haspanic last names that have the letter z in them indacate that it is very possible that their families at one time were Jewish and converted during the inqusition. I can't verify this but sense we are taking about religion I thought I would bring this up.

 

Daniel Mendoza was a Jew.

Well, it is a pretty goofy belief system.

Keep in mind that you did ask!

 

Well, for starters, it's an Abrahamic monotheistic belief system. I view all of those as equally insane, right off the bat. Christianity asks one to make a few more slightly more far-fetched and ridiculous assumptions on faith than Judaism, and in turn Islam seems to have slightly more of them than Christianity. The buck doesn't stop there though. There are plenty of things that strike a sane rationalist as far more insane than Islam - Mormonism, for instance.

I think it's trendy especially in the US and Europe because it represents a rejection of a mainstay stronghold of Western civilization in Christianity. It's like a kid who isn't really interested in drugs or promiscuous sex acting out to **** off their parents.

 

He's mentioned in interviews, and Dagestan, his home region, has long been a Muslim majority.

 

The authoritative reference would have to be the South Park episode "All About The Mormons".

 

God im tired of religion

If a boxer has God on his side and in his corner, does that mean that God is against his opponent?

The boxers that doesnt use God or trash talk in order to be confident are the heroes in my eyes.

The Klitschkos religion is properly a personal matter, as it is to people in most of Western Europe.
