Mo Farah doesn't like Trump: "It’s just ... blasphemy.”

Mo\'s got a great point. If the US and Britain don\'t let Africans immigate, they\'ll never win another Olympic distance medal

A Somalian Muslim, turned Brit Muslim, turned Oregon Muslim, turned world-wide Muslim. Mo knows no boundaries.

Please keep this thread above board people. For the record, the article states Farah's dad was born in London so he's got more British roots than you seem to imply.

Another reason to vote for Trump.

Mo's opinion only has limited value if he converts to American citizenship. That seems likely since his wife doesn't want to move back to the UK. I expect Mo to switch to the US post-retirement.

So Farah does not know what "blasphemy" means, and he doesn't recognize that there is a possible problem with Muslim terrorists in the West? He lives right next to France and refugee Europe. You'd think he would be a little more rational and understanding about alternative viewpoints regarding this.

Our immigration screening process is crap for some groups of people so we should let them in with no proper vetting until we have a good way to properly vet them? That's ridiculous to think Trump's suggestion is ridiculous. I'm not saying that I agree with Trump's solution, but it isn't blasphemy or ridiculous. It makes sense. If you can't properly control something, then don't let it happen. Especially when the problem and risk is increasing.

Is he also speaking out against the temporary ban of travel from diseased countries that happens from time to time? Both diseases and muslim terrorists represent an extreme minority of these populations usually.

Lots of these Muslim countries have lots of violent people and terrorists. Did he not see Benghazi? Did he not see the Libya? The Arab Spring? Iraq? Those weren't just a few people. Those were CROWDS of people that have no problem with mob violence, killing, hanging, beheading, and not just sodomy and rape, but sodomy and rape so bad that it causes death. I think I heard about at least one guy that was raped with a stick or a knife.

That recent attack in France also shows this. Apparently, it wasn't just a shooting. There was a significant amount of torture before. People had their eyes gouged out and genitals cut off and inserted into their mouths.

We wouldn’t dare to say any of the things he is saying in our country and get away with it. It’s just ... blasphemy.”

This says a lot about the lack of freedom of speech in the UK.

The UK is so pvssified, they even allow radical Muslim "journalists" to cover Muslim terror attacks.

Farah represents all that is wrong with UK at this point.

I wonder how the Brexit vote outcome affects his popularity. Surely - audiences watching him in Rio will know he is Muslim and named Mohammad. Given the anti-islam sentiment lately in England, will they actually be rooting for him to lose?

Very well said. We don't have to look as far the Middle East though. Britain is a prime example of what can happen when a country doesn't control its borders. The U.S. too, for that matter.

The politically correct Brits love their Muzzies.

"It reminded me queasily of another niece’s experiences — this time at an overwhelmingly white, Christian state school in Worcester. Her dad had wanted to know why when she said ‘Mohammed’, she automatically added the phrase ‘Peace Be Upon Him’.

‘Oh, it’s what we’re taught we have to say in RE,’ my niece replied."

The value of one's opinion is not dependent upon one's citizenship.

Mo Farah’s father, Muktar Farah, was most certainly born in Somalia and came to London as a young man.

As I understand it, he went back to Somalia on holiday and but then got married and decided to stay.

He left again because of all the fighting and seems to have been granted residence in Britain as an asylum seeker which enabled him to bring some of his family, including Mo, over to Britain.

Apparently, now he’s earning the big bucks, he (Mo) is estranged from his family, Muktar was not invited to the wedding and I also observe that as soon as the fact he was now a British subject opened up the doorway to huge endorsement and appearance riches, he paid us back by becoming a tax-exile.

The value of one's POLITICAL opinion is. Despite living as a tax exile in the US, Mo can't vote in the US; something you seem unaware of.

There was an article that stated Mo entered the UK illegally to get to his father. His father wanted nothing to do with Mo who ended up living with an aunt. Mo doesn't speak to his father because of that situation.

If Mo entered the UK illegally, why don't they deport him?

And could Mo explain what he considers the proper punishment for blasphemy?

The Quran is clear about this: death.

Maliki – view blasphemy as an offense distinct from, and more severe than apostasy. Death is mandatory in cases of blasphemy for Muslim men, and repentance is not accepted. For women, death is not the punishment suggested, but she is arrested and punished till she repents and returns to Islam or dies in custody.[106][107] A non-Muslim who commits blasphemy against Islam must be punished; however, the blasphemer can escape punishment by converting and becoming a devout Muslim.[108]

You don't seem to be aware that Mo's son is US/Portland-born. The children are US raised. They won't go back to the UK.

You also don't seem to be aware that Farah is a UK tax-exile, and pays US taxes. Moving back to the UK would cost Farah a lot of money, taxes-wise. If you think he will accept that, then you don't understand what is #1 to Mo and his wife--money.
