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?

And I guarantee that it's because we're now suddenly sponsored by Emirates (the same airline who do not allow homosexual staff members). To these people, I say:

Go to the bible belt country in the USA and say to them im openly homosexual and see if they give you a job i dont think they will... because christians and muslims are the same in this aspect not all christians of course but some and not all muslims either......double standards i think , im glad there are laws in America that allow homesexuals there human rights not based on sexual preference but as humans and that they can sue the person who doesnt allow them to work there just because there homosexual , and im ashamed that there arent any in place in the middle east because state and religion are so intertwined. Yet in lebanon they have recently been having protests to change the law hopefully the suceed , unfortunatley the gulf region are not democracies so its even harder to change there system.

I say go and watch the movie Milk and see what america was in the 1970's

What America was like 40 years ago is pretty irrelevant, and it's ridiculous to try comparing present-day USA with anything that goes on in the Islamic world and/or imply that there is any kind of "double standards" to that.

As for your second point, words may be cheap but in some cases they are vital. We are suffering an identity crisis in Europe at the moment, of what we are, and how came to be what we are. The last point there is very impotant, it seems that today, most of us living in the west have little or no idea of how we actually got here, how hard those liberties we enjoy today had to be fought for through centuries. And if fou don't know how you attained the rights you have, you sure won't notice when they are slowly taken away from you. And it looks like freedom of expression will be the first to go.
