Inter Milan football strip 'offends Muslims'

[Italian Celtic]

It was owned by the Normans, so yes.

England was dominated for 5 centuries by romans so Britain is only a part of big italian empire

This is maybe even dumber than the sudanese teddy-bear case. Here's a Wikipedia article, notice the flag of Milan, the same is on Inter's shirts.

The harder question is, what doesn't upset Muslims?

Okey. The Balkan thingy. Turkish rule wasn't really benign but it was nothing Europe hasn't seen plenty of in those years. So, let's don't pick on Turkey solely because they were doing what every European Empire was dreaming about: conquer as much land as you can. Plus, some European countries were even worse in treating their newly acquired subjects. If you want we can take this topic to History Forum, I don't want it to go to off-topic.

It looks like these thing is just exaggerated, one lawyer tried with a crazy idea. As this doesn't happen in EU and USA (remember the ex-judge who sued for several millions because of misplaced jeans?).

So yeah, there are some crazy people in Islamic world and there are some crazy people in Christianic world and even some in Atheistic world. But you know, if there was no crazy people there was no non-crazy people. Ergo: hip hip hooray for crazy people! Besides, Germany consists of a sausage shop in Frankfurt, we can hardly accuse them of being imperialistic.

The Ottoman rule over Balkan was hell on Earth!!! What you are saying sounds like a Holokaust denial to me. At least, I feel like this when I read something like that.

Yet more stupidity from Muslims they dont respect any of our values, traditions or symbols, but they expect us to abide by their own barbaric laws. I am not a Christian but the fact they have used language like "offensive symbol" and want Inter fined is a disgrace. This reinforces the case that Turkey should not be allowed into the EU at any cost

1 idiot does not make the opinions for the entire country (unless that idiot is the leader of the nation)

Normans != English. You couldn't call Ireland English at the time because there were norman settlements pouring in; Besides, the norman dynasties there eventually italianized.

Well, you may have had England for 350 years (although even that's not quite 500...), but you barely had us for 20 years. Not exactly loyal imperial subjects, eh?

And there's the Godwin, so if everyone could just pack up their stuff and move on to another thread, it would be much appreciated, thank you.
