Removed unencyclopedic content: This man is a great player and a great role model for the Islamic and Lebanese community of Australia. He acts the way people should. Cdh1984 13:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lebanon

Has he never played in the Lebanon national rugby league team?--Jeff79 07:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

World Cup 2000, he was Captain. Londo06 21:09, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Surely worth a mention. I will insert one.--Jeff79 00:57, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Children

Having just watched the State of Origin game 3 interview with him at the end of the match, i'm pretty sure he said that he had a daughter and 2 sons? Can any confirm this? Nicwright 12:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

  • I can confirm that Vossy is a bit of munt for thinking Tripoli is a little village, but don't know if there would be a way to confirm the children bit. Londo06 12:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
he said one son. and I've added reference to his family now. Michellecrisp 01:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HUGE IDEOLOGICAL BIAS

I feel strongly that the sentence: "El Masri is a devout Muslim who has become a positive role model for many young Australians" should be altered or completely removed. It has a massive ideological agenda.

It has the same agenda as the following: "such-in-such is a devout Nazi/Christian/Nationalist/Conservative/Whatever...and therefore is a positive role model for many young Australians".

I don't consider his devout religiousity or his veiled wife to be a positive role model. I don't believe Wikipedia should be endorsing any form of "devoutness" and should instead report circumstances rather than endorse them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidrose (talk • contribs)

Make sure you check under your bed, and behind your door, there might be a non-Anglo-Saxon hiding there, waiting to spring out and force diversity upon you. Oh nos!
Regardless of your beliefs, it is a fact that El Masri is considered a role-model within the general community. I have separated the fact that he is a devout Muslim from the fact that he is widely respected in the general community by splitting the sentence. Florrie 05:55, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
