This is a damn shame! They should have been taken outside the venue and told to walk home. But then again, he will be a national hero back home.
"Allah Akbar" indeed.

I guess the injury is Allah not liking his disrespect of another.

Would he have been a pariah back home if he had shaken his hand?

I just don't get hate on that level. Did he not wrestle the Israeli guy and had no problem touching him then? The only way he got away with it, is that he is a Muslim.

Probably. They are, generally speaking, a very sick society. I do recall a wrestler who wrestled for Iran. He lost and then had his head cut off. So, there's that.

Holy Christmas, you got yourself wound up over a missed handshake.
