Inter Milan football strip 'offends Muslims'

[Masquerouge]

I should think the French monarchy and the Pope would be more angry with a football team looking like TEMPLARS (NOT CRUSADERS) than a Muslim would be. After all, they're supposed to be heretics!

That's true... but the French monarchy is not doing well these days

Neither is the football team.

Yeah, how dare we foul, deviant Westerners express patriosy to a religion that isn't Islam. How insulting! Why, if I were in control, I'd have the entire club stoned to death for this ridiculing bigotry!

Meh, let the nutjob complain, just don't give him any money from it.

i'm italians and i can tell you red cross is the only the symble of milan and that lawyer is only a big idiot

 

[sysyphus]

I just wonder why an Italian team has decided to use St. George's Cross...

 

[Red Door]

I'm opposed to this uniform, not because of the stripe, but because it's just butt-ugly. Inter should wear the blue and blacks all the time.

 

[Phlegmak]

I am offended that anyone is offended by that uniform. I'm being serious.

You're just being intolerant of others. Mainly muslims so that makes you a rasist!!!!!!!

 

[sourboy]

A swastika might offend too, but an iron cross is still a valid symbol. This is ridiculous.

Agreed.


The lawyer is just one complete nutjob at best....

1)red cross is the simble of milan so all milan teams should have it

2)it wasn't only inter or only milan it was milan/inter fusion

 

[Traitorfish]

"Western racist superiority over Islam"? That doesn't even begin to make sense.

 

[bhsup]

so doesnt this mean every strip with a cross on it is influanced by christianity and should be sued? Don't muslim countries have strips with the islam symbol on them?

Even if it is influenced by Christianity, big deal?! They should deal with it and move on. Big deal even if it was meant to honor the Templar Knights.

 

[BirraImperial]

This is just the opinion of a dumbass lawyer. I don't think we should start bashing Islam just because one nutjob thinks the cross in Inter's uniform is "offending".

 

[West 36]

Didn't the Muslims eventually kick out the Christians from the Holy Land? So... in a way this should be reminding the Muslims of good times. "We kicked that uniform's butt once, and we can do it again!"

I just wonder why an Italian team has decided to use St. George's Cross...

...or why England decided to use Genoa's flag...

1. Just because a team is from a city does not mean a team should use that symbol. The Inter jerseys are just plain ugly, they need to stick with the blue and black, just like Milan needs to stick with the red and black.

2. I've never seen (AC) Milan wear these jerseys.

 

[Communisto]

When are they going to shut up?

Yup. Pretty much in the long run the Crusades did nothing to harm Muslim dominance in the area. They probably helped more than they did harm.
