Yaya Toure accepts drink driving charge, but.....

... insists that, as a muslim, he doesn't drink!
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has pleaded guilty to drink-driving, but says he had not "intentionally consumed alcohol".
The Ivory Coast player, 33, accepts he was "above the permitted limit", and did not challenge the charge.
He was fined £54,000 - a means-tested fine - and banned from driving for 18 months by Barkingside magistrates.
"It is well known that I am a Muslim and do not drink, said Toure. "I have always refused alcohol."
Toure was driving in Dagenham in east London at the time of the offence last month.
He pleaded guilty to the charge on Monday, but did not say in his Facebook statement how the alcohol got into his system.
In his statement Toure added: "Drink-driving is a serious crime and even though I was not intentionally consuming alcohol I accept the ban and fine and I would like to apologise for this situation."

Non-alcoholic wine = grape juice - so why didn't the prophet say/god tell him "grape juice"?

I'm actually more concerned that he got yanked in our territory just before the January transfer window opens!
Mind you, the prospect of coming from a Man City to West Ham would be enough to drive the prophet himself to a Babycham

Is he looking for a move to Arsenal?
Back in the day it was mandatory for anyone playing for the Gunners to have a criminal record...

"He claimed he had only drunk Diet Coke and was not aware the jug he was drinking from had been mixed with brandy.
But a judge said it was "inconceivable" he did not know he was drinking and banned him from driving for 18 months and fined him £54,000 - less than week's wages."

Where was he stopped?
Driving through/past Dagenham on A13 doesn't mean you actually have business there.

You can't compare muslims with BNP.
It would be fairer to compare Muslims with white Christians.
See how the scores stack up then?

Their martyrdom allows them in paradise all the virgins and a never ending river of wine... I brought this up with my sister and she explained that the never ending river of wine is in fact Non-Alcoholic wine... so panic over

You are actually allowed to consciously drink alcohol in Islam, IF you are amongst enemies and it would reveal you being one of the faithful not to do so.

I've found that with black drivers, them drinking 10 pints before getting behind the wheel would probably improve their driving.
