Master Fox Posted 12 December 2007 Posted 12 December 2007 Muslims take offence A football strip worn by Italian team Inter Milan is at the centre of a legal row after a lawyer claimed it offended "Muslim sensibilities". Players wore the new strip – a white shirt with large red cross on it – in a Champions League match last month against Turkish team Fenerbahçe to celebrate the club’s centenary. But a Turkish lawyer, Baris Kaska, took exception to the "Crusader-style" cross which he said symbolised "Western racist superiority over Islam". He claimed the offending shirt reminded Turks of an emblem of the Christian order of the Knights Templar. Mr Kaska, who specialises in European law, has lodged a complaint in a local court against the club. He is seeking damages, and is appealing to Uefa to annul the match, which Inter Milan won 3-0. Mr Kaska told the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia: "That cross only brings one thing to mind - the symbol of the Templar Knights. "It made me think immediately of the bloody days of the past. While I was watching the game I felt profound grief in my soul." He said the court had contacted both Uefa and Fifa to convey his demand that Inter Milan should be "heavily fined for displaying an offensive symbol". Inter Milan officials are reportedly "astounded" at the controversy. They have pointed out that a red cross on a white background was the symbol of the city of Milan, and that many Italian football clubs have incorporated the cross on their shirts.

Pathetic Oh yeah and i'm sure someone made him watch that game...He'll probably be claiming someone rascally abused him forcing him to watch the game next!

DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 It only takes one fool of a Turk to inflame these sentiments He is clearly a tosser, and if you all ignored him he might go away
Kilworthfox Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 I'm more worried by the blatant cheating of the Turks! Mohammed would have cried BTW England!
Micky Ruddle Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 They're always thinking of a tiny problem, then they are straight on to it. If they could just shut up for once, stop ranting an raving about silly things, then the world would be a happier place. They make it worse.
Dames Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 "It made me think immediately of the bloody days of the past. While I was watching the game I felt profound grief in my soul." Funny how he claims that. Wasn't the last crusade like 800 years ago? So how the fook can he think of that which was so long ago. He's really clutching at straws. I hate people that use Islam as an excuse to do things such as this and get some publicity.
danny. Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 I'd like to know what they think of this then They would probably go nuts if any country had that as say their flag, and blow up innocent civilians of that country. Oh wait.. they already did. BEHEAD those who say islam is violent!!

Tommy G Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 Muslims moan about most things. Most things I don't care about and just laugh. Idiots
Simi Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 "It made me think immediately of the bloody days of the past. While I was watching the game I felt profound grief in my soul." I bet it did flower. Must be really hard for you to cope of those things you've never experienced. I saw someone crossing the road the other day which reminded me of when this girl got ran over on Eastenders. I'm currently writing to the BBC and asking them not to show ANYONE, EVER crossing a road. Traumatised I was.
Floating Fox Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 He's a lawyer, you expect it. All of them deserved to be shot. Not because he's Muslim.
Raj Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 What is this World of ours coming to eh??? I wish i lived on the Moon sometimes.....
Koke Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 Muslims moan about most things. Most things I don't care about and just laugh. Idiots They are idiots I'm a afraid. I just fail to understand why the BBC would publish this nonsense. I mean, who really cares whether some clueless up-his-own arse Turkish lawyer got offended of Inter Milan's away kit?
