Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 10:40PM WILL THE RAGHEADS go at least a week without being offended? No sooner have they recovered from the shock of children calling a teddy bear Mo', here's camel jockey lawyer Baris Kaska getting his islamic knickers in a twist over .... a football kit. What's up with these muslim girlie boys?
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.
As the Telegraph points out, a red cross on a white background is a symbol of Milano. Famously, the club badge of Inter's rivals AC Milan incorporates the same. But back to Baris the Offended. He says:
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.
It's time that over-sensitive islamic pricks like Kaska were reminded that for half a millenmium the Christian world was attacked by islam before the first Crusade, of the islamic occupation fo Spain, that France would have been islamic if it was for charles Martel, of the Ottomon Empire and that islam was stopped finally at the gates of Vienna.
And if life is so unbearing for him in the West, he can sod off immediately to whatever cross-free islamic cesspit he likes.

The possibilty of offending militant Islamists a hundred times a day, is just a cross we all have to bear.
Very droll, Colm :0)
Somebody remind me: when the crusades were taking place, who were in Istanbul?
Clue! It wasn't called Istanbul then. So who invaded whom, slaughtered the inhabitants, stole their possessions, destroyed their culture, and then made imperial war in the Balkans before they were turned back by the Poles outside Vienna?
Well I wonder what he makes of England, or Georgia, or Catalonia or the fact that St George (of cross fame) was born in modern day Turkey. But that was before Muhammed was born and set about conquering the Middle East. What about St George's worship as Al-khidr in Islam. These easily offended people are so often ignorant.
"It made me think immediately of the bloody days of the past" - yeah sounds like it touched on some traumatic memories.
England team's getting a new manager, maybe it should get a new shirt as well!
**** him and his islamic sensibilities. This is the west.
''And if life is so unbearing for him in the West, he can sod off immediately to whatever cross-free islamic cesspit he likes.''
Why should he? Or any muslim? Things are too good for them in the west - they ain't going no where.
"So who invaded whom, slaughtered the inhabitants, stole their possessions, destroyed their culture"
I think you'll find it was the Crusaders who first sacked Constantinople and left it defenceless.
True, Garfield - but they ain't there now. Someone else did the final deed.
How is it that the likes of Milliband and Brown/Blair can advocate entry of Turkey into Europe? It would be an invasion and the sacking of Rome so desired by islam would be a real possibility within my lifetime.
Allan,
because the UK and US don't see the EU as being in their long term interests. They couldn't care less if it failed.
In fact, if the Russians were ever incorporated, the UK and US would be openly hostile.
The countries that see their future in an EU, France, Germany etc, will never allow Turkey join.
The British are like those sacking Crusaders, looking to make a quick buck without thinking of the long term.
Next time the army on 30,000 camels at the gates of Vienna mighn't be repulsed.
Can i sue because im offended by the niqab? When i see a girl wear one it makes me think of the violence perpetrated against women in islamic countries and fills me with "a deep sense of grief".
"CAMEL JOCKEY" is the proof of your racism.Also proof of your rude,cruel personality.People like you make fanatics look good,because you sound like the other end of extremism.

i think you'll find that islam expanded, invaded and destroyed cultures before the crusaders started hitting back.....
