Forever Pure - "We Have Arabs in Our Team?" - Clip

In this excerpt from the Independent Lens documentary Forever Pure, Dzhabrail Kadiyev and Zaur Sadayev, two young, Muslim soccer players who were brought over from Chechen to play for Beitar FC in Israel, begin training and are greeted angrily by a rowdy, anti-Muslim group of Beitar fans. "You brought us two Muslims, not football players!" they yell before cursing the players out.
