OK well, Zinedine is of Algerian heritage (North Africa--considered Middle Eastern and predominantly Muslim).
and the Italian player made a racist comment, from what I heard, he referred to Zidane as a "terrorist" (because he's Middle Eastern and comes from a Muslim family).

Rubbish...you all believe the non Italian speaking media. What the effing hell do they know? This is what Materazzi said:
Materazzi was holding onto Zidanes shirt...and had been roughing him up a bit the whole game. So this was the exchange:
Zidane: "If you want my shirt, I'll give it to you after the game".
Materazzi: "no thanks, you can keep it".
Zidane: "I will leave it on the bench after the game"
Materazzi: "You can eff off with your shirt. I prefer your sister"
Now if that is insulting Zidanes family in anyway, then you can all eff off. That was a lame insult and so what, he finds his sister attractive...? I haven't seen her...she might well be.
Now this has been verified and someone who read-lip the incident and KNOWS ITALIAN has verified it. Yes...they both spoke Italian. because Zidane knows Italian (playedin Italy a few years) and Marco does not know French.
So believe all your lies...fact remains Zidane made a fool of himself and the dishonest French try to twist things around.
Wake up...!
edit: Oh yeah..and who was the fool who said he insulted Zidanes roots and because he is muslim, his religion also.
NEWSFLASH: Zidane is NOT a muslim. HAHAHAHA...don't you feel DUMB??? FFS!!!!!

It's Zinedine Zidane, and this subject has been rehashed no less than a million times. If you live in this universe you've heard the story and everybody has chosen a side. It's over, move on because it really doesn't matter. Zidane was wrong and ejected for his actions.

Zenedine Zedine? You definitely need a spelling coach and why are you still talking about this lame-o incident? It's not like they tossed haymakers at each other and we had a good fight. It's so over just like the whole WC 06 is.

"The thousand injuries of that Italian player I bore as best I could, but when he ventiured to insult my Mom, I head-butted that sumbitch like the dog he was."
--Paraphrased from "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe

after the game and in the papers zidane said that the reason he headbutted the italian was because of racist remarks aimed at his mother

They were having a discussion, like everyone knows, then Zidane told Mazzarini "Don't worry I'll give you my jersey when I win you" or something like that, to that Mazzarini said " Let me borrow your sister better" Zidane got pissed and then happened what happened.
He (Zidane) said it was a racist comment Mazzarini said to him, but that's really not what happened...
