Turkish lawyer asks for cancellation of Italian team's soccer victory because winners wore "offensive" t-shirt featuring cross


Quote
A Turkish lawyer has filed a complaint to Uefa after Inter wore a shirt with an offensive symbol, at least to Islamic culture, in their recent match against Fenerbahce.
A Turkish lawyer who's an expert on European law, Baris Kaska, is asking Uefa to cancel the three points Inter earned in their win against Fenerbahce in the recent Champions League match.

The Nerazzurri had beaten the Turkish champions 3-0 at home to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

The reason for the appeal is unusual: the celebratory shirt for Inter's centenary worn by the team that night, and on several other occasions this season, offended many people in Turkey.

The shirt's scheme saw a big red cross on a white background, a symbol of the city of Milan,]/b] and reminded many of an emblem of the order of the Templars, which is considered offensive in Islamic culture.

Inter consciously did not wear their 'centenary shirt' in their first match against Fenerbahce in Istanbul, but at home, they did not think it was necessary to do the same.

However, the very sensitive Turkish media reacted bitterly and that led to the official appeal filed by Kaska, who announced this decision during an interview to Barcelona daily La Vanguardia.



Seems to be a new formula......can't win.....sue saying your feelings are hurt.

Wow.

If there's one religion that needs to butch up it's Islam.

And that muslim father in Canada killing his teenage daughter because she wouldn't wear the traditional veil...and his son covering it up from the investigating officials...all in the name of Allah.

I find the crescent offensive in the shirts of turkish players, because it reminds me of the horrors the muslim mujahideens caused to the christians they referred to as "infidels".

It's sad when you can't look up in the night sky and enjoy a crescent moon and star without politics.
