Leader islamici contro il Milan: "Ha la croce sulla maglia"

Nessun musulmano dovrebbe indossare la casacca del Milan. «È pericolosa» perché contiene la raffigurazione di una croce, «simbolo di un'altra religione». È questo il monito che due leader islamici della Malesia hanno rivolto a calciatori e fedeli musulmani invitandoli a non vestire magliette «sataniche» o «infedeli». Lo ha riferito ieri l'agenzia cattolica Fides. Ma l'appello non riguarda soltanto il Milan: anche il Manchester United è finito nella lista nera degli ulema perché la sua divisa raffigura il diavolo, così come di Barcellona, Serbia, Norvegia, Portogallo e Brasile, i cui simboli contengono croci cristiane. Il monito ha scatenato un ampio dibattito in Malesia, dove, tra l'altro, il Manchester United ha un grande seguito, tanto che nel 2006 è stato siglato un accordo tra il club inglese e l'ente turistico nazionale. Molti giovani hanno protestato sul web, chiedendosi, ironicamente, «se gli ulema non siano tifosi del Liverpool». Ma per Nooh Gadot, leader del Consiglio religioso della città di Johor, nessuna fede calcistica può fare eccezione.«Un musulmano non dovrebbe venerare simboli di altre religioni o il diavolo», è stato il monito dell'ulema, che ha precisato: «Un vero musulmano non dovrebbe né comprarle né accettarle in regalo».

Islamic leaders against Milan: "Has the cross on the shirt"

Muslim should wear the Milan shirt. "It is dangerous" because it contains a representation of a cross, symbol of another religion. " This is the warning that two Islamic leaders in Malaysia have turned to football and inviting Muslims not to wear shirts "satanic" or "infidels." The agency said yesterday the Catholic Fides. But the appeal is not only AC Milan Manchester United also finished in the black list of the ulema because his uniform represents the devil, as well as Barcelona, Serbia, Norway, Portugal and Brazil, whose symbols include Christian crosses. The warning has sparked a wider debate in Malaysia, where, among others, Manchester United has a great following, so that in 2006 an agreement was signed between the English club and the national tourist office. Many young people have protested on the internet, wondering, ironically, "if the ulema are not Liverpool fans." But Nooh Gadot, leader of the Religious Council of the city of Johor, no faith can do except football. "A Muslim should not worship symbols of other religions or the devil," was the warning dell'ulema who stated: "A true Muslim should neither buy nor accept a gift."

Seriously, WTF?

Nothing new. I remember when Inter played Fenerbache a few years ago and some Turk threw a fit because the Inter jerseys had a red cross on it (as far as I know it's the same that Milan has in their crest, the cros of Milano's patron St. Ambrose).

Well, in order not to be Islamophobic or offensive or colonialist or imperialist or superiorist or rascist or intolerant I guess we all have to keep quiet and let the blissful believers practise their beautiful creed in peace, no?
