The BBC has warned English football fans not to dress as crusaders when attending the Euro 2016 tournament this summer as they might cause offence to Muslims.
The advice comes via their iWonder website, aimed at a younger audience, which asks such pressing questions as Was Shakespeare a feminist? and How green is my commute?
Posing the question: Is it wrong to dress as a crusader for an England match? the answer appears to be a resounding yes.
Crusaders were the perpetrators of violent attacks across Europe and the Middle East on Muslims, Jews and pagans, the website intones, suggesting that fans may simply want to don the English flag instead, as this has nothing to do with crusaders or what they stood for.
And although it cant help musing: The English flag used to have connotations with far-right nationalism, it is forced to concede that: Today the flag is flown by local authorities and individuals in a purely patriotic sense.

Too F#@*ing bad. I find the burqa offensive, and the nightshirts the men wear in the street to, in fact I find everything about their culture offensive.....now where can I find a chain mail Hauberk and white tunic with the Crusaders Cross in red? Wonder if Amazon carries that...time to go shopping.

How IN THE WORLD would present-day Muslims know how the Crusaders dressed? SOMEBODY has been eating some "funny-weed" to come up with THAT one. Lord have mercy.
AND why would ANY present-day Muslim give a rat's patootie about what soldiers wore 1000 years ago? Gimme a break.

It’s not just outside their “religion” ... the Shias and Sunnis consider each other to be worthy only of death.

1. My MS/HS teams were “Crusaders.”
2. I gave a lot of money after graduation. A lot.
3. They changed the name to appease others.
4. The money stopped. (Mine.)
5. Plea: “give again, the others DON’T.”
6. Plea unanswered. Kids going elsewhere.
PC is a VERY short term plan. please share.

I won’t dress as a crusader if you don’t dress as a Muslim, especially your women. That’s fair. As long as you dress as a muslim, I’m offended, so you dress like a human being and I will as well. OK?
