titled Soccer Imams
Translated from the Arabic by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
1. Do not play soccer with four lines surrounding the field, since this is the way of the non-believers.
2. One should not use the terminology established by the nonbelievers and polytheists, such as: "foul," "penalty kick," "corner kick," "goal," and "out of bounds." Whoever pronounces these terms should be punished, reprimanded, kicked out of the game, and even be told in public: "You have come to resemble the nonbelievers and the polytheists, and this has been forbidden."
3. If a player falls during the game and breaks his hand or his foot, he shall not say "foul" and shall not stop playing because of his injury. The one who caused his injury shall not receive a yellow or red card but rather the case shall be judged according to Muslim law. The injured player shall exercise his rights according to the shari'ah, as stated in the Koran, and you must testify together with him that so-and-so tripped him intentionally.
4. Do not set the number of players according to the number of players used by the Jews, the Christians, and especially the vile Americans. In other words, eleven players shall not play together. Make it a larger or smaller number.
5. Play in your normal clothing, or in pajamas, or something like that, but not in colorful pants and numbered jerseys. Pants and jerseys are not appropriate clothing for Muslims. They are the clothing of the nonbelievers, and therefore you must be careful not to wear them.
6. You must play the entire game with the intention of improving your physical fitness for the purpose of fighting jihad. One should not waste time in celebrating a false victory.
7. Do not play for forty-five minutes, as is the practice among the Jews and the Christians. This is also the length of time that is accepted in the soccer clubs of those who have strayed from the righteous path.
8. Do not play in two halves but rather in one part or in three parts, so as to be different from the sinful and rebellious, the nonbelievers and the polytheists.
9. If neither side has defeated the other and neither side has inserted the balls between the posts, do not waste further time in an extension or in "penalty kicks" until someone has won but rather leave the field immediately, since this kind of victory is precisely an imitation of the nonbelievers and adoption of the despotic international soccer rules.
10. Do not appoint someone who follows the players around and is called "a referee," since after canceling the international rules, there is no need for his presence.
11. In the course of the game, it is forbidden for groups of youth to gather and watch, since if you are gathering for the sake of sports activity and physical fitness, as you claim, why should they be looking at you? You must make them participate in order to improve their physical fitness and prepare for jihad; or else say to them, "Go propagate Islam and seek out moral corruption in the marketplaces and in the press in order to correct it, and leave us to improve our physical fitness."
12. When you finish playing, be careful not to talk about the game and not to say "we play better than the opponent," or "so-and-so is a good player," etc. You should speak about your muscles and about the fact that you are playing as a means of training to run, attack, and retreat in preparation for waging jihad.
13. If one of you inserts the ball between the posts and then starts to run so that his companions will run after him and hug, like the players in American and France do, you should spit in his face, punish him, and reprimand him, for what do joy, hugging, and kissing have to do with sports?
