At least 74 people have been killed and almost 1000 injured following shocking and horrific violence during a football match in Egypt. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)
The scale of the violence and extent of death clearly indicates a significant breakdown in the norms of behaviour one expects from a civilised society as individuals went equipped and with the intention to cause harm.
While the violence and deaths are unprecedented previous comments by those involved in Egyptian football have indicated a major problem which LM highlighted ie the Egyptian manager saying he would only select Muslims for the national team or Zaki refusing to play with an Algerian.
The tension with a fellow Muslim nation Algeria became so bad that Gaddafi when he was not crawling out sewer tried to mediate and resolve tensions between the two nations following a stupid football row.
Although sad to punish all Egyptians LM believes that the loss of life and violence must result in an immediate domestic ban on football within Egypt and FIFA banning Egypt from international competition until a full scale Inquiry gets to the bottom of what and who caused the violence and they should only be allowed to return when suitable punishment for the culprits is carried out providing justice for the bereaved families.
