Fury's Extreme Views & Religious Fanaticism Cancels Out The Rest Of His Personality?

Since you are against extreme views, maybe you should tone down your incredibly fanatic (and unfounded) opinions of Khan.

Weird thread.

Religious faith does not make anyone a "fanatic". However, having sex with another dude makes you a f@g.

F**k you Flatline

I have a hard time taking Fury seriously and I kinda get the feeling that virtually everything he says is done in 'tongue-in-cheek' fashion in his mind. He's definitely gone too far, but I've always been good at ignoring that type of stuff when I didn't wanna hear it.

He has some extreme religious believes that he could have kept to himself but he chose to tell the world all about them. If he live in olden days he might have been someone who stoned to death anyone who broke the incredibly strict religious rules of those days. He might have been someone who burned witches at the stake in old New England. Maybe he wouldn't do things like that but some of the religious stuff he has said is really over the top and more extreme than anything I have ever heard from any other boxer. He is free to say anything he pleases of course.

I think we're mixing the terms Fundamentalism with Fanaticism, although some might say they are interchangeable or seemingly indistinguishable from each other. When I say fanatic I mean he's very vocal about his beliefs, as opposed to saying fundamental which is where the Crusade scenario might come into play. Fair enough.

When he starts calling for a new Crusade, then you can brand him a fanatic. Until that moment comes, calling him a fanatic is pretty silly. He is obviously religious, but being religious does'nt make one a fanatic. And this is coming from an atheist.

I do fear Tyson might get banned It'll be a travesty for Boxing and British boxing

Fury falls squarely in the category of a religious fanatic by continuously name-dropping Jesus & Christianity during many interviews ever since the build up to the Wladimir fight started and all the way up to present day. In career terms, it's a recent development but those views seem to be the "real" Tyson Fury. To put this into context - imagine a Muslim boxer kept name-dropping Muhammad and Islam in nearly every interview like for example ex-boxer Anthony Smalls often did. Smalls was quickly labelled a fanatic, to the point that he was even investigated by the police and taken to court as a result of his strong views. Ultimately he quit boxing due to his religious fanaticism which was only fuelled by the authorities meddling in his affairs. The criticism he received for his beliefs seemed to only strengthen his resolve in his religion. A similar thing may or may not happen to Fury, as a side-note matter of speculation. Like Smalls, Fury also has what could be considered extreme or archaic views on male/female gender roles, homosexuality and the state of modern society in general. This all stems from his fanatical religious beliefs. We know there are more sides to Fury - he's otherwise got an entertaining and engaging personality (just like Smalls in fact) but do his extreme, archaic views and his religious fanaticism effectively cancel out all of his personality plus points entirely? Has Fury's recently revealed religious fanaticism ruined the engaging boxing persona he took years to carve out and present to the world?

No. Because he doesn't believe what you believe all of a sudden he's some nutcase? :lol1: This poor world
