Egyptian cleric: Jews use soccer to distract Muslims

From MEMRI:

Following are excerpts from a religious program featuring Egyptian cleric Mahmoud Al-Masri, which aired on Al-Nas TV on February 7, 2012:

Mahmoud Al-Masri: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which were written in order to corrupt the Islamic people, included corruption by distracting Muslims through soccer. They use soccer to distract the Islamic peoples.

I always knew that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was a Zionist!

Beyond the humor, though, is the interesting fact that some Muslims are so self-centered that even a century-old European anti-semitic forgery is considered an attack on Islam.
