UK jihadists attack 'religion of soccer,' warn Muslims against taking part in 'colonial crusader scheme'
A British jihadist website has warned Muslims against being drawn in to what they described as "the new religion of soccer."
The Saved Sect website, which calls on Muslims to work to establish an Islamic state in Britain, has attacked "football fever," saying that soccer has "captivated the masses, dedicating their time and effort towards it."
Comparing the allegiance of soccer fans to Islam and jihad, the organization said: "Football is the deen (religion) by which people live their lives by and are willing to die for. Their jihad is to fight against those who are arch rivals against their team. Their da'wah (call, invitation) is to publicize, defend and justify their team, inviting others to support them in this."
"People will spend hundreds and thousands of pounds for this religion of theirs, traveling to other parts of the world in support of their team… showing affection, supporting and caring about… They will jump down the throats of those who so much as even dare to criticize their god rising to defend it at all costs," the Saved Sect website said.
Claiming that soccer plants the seeds of nationalism, and is therefore part of a "colonial crusader scheme" to divide Muslims and cause them to stray from the vision of a unified Islamic identity, the website told readers: "The sad fact of the matter is that many Muslims have fallen for this new religion and they too carry the national flag.
The statement, aimed at calling on British Muslims to disassociate themselves with the World Cup in Germany, ended with a quote by Islam's prophet, Muhammad, condemning nationalism.
I wish they had been able to convince the Muslim half of the Ghanaian team that before the game.
FYI - Where else but FR would you get news like this ???
After a goal, the Muslims would bow toward Mecca and the Christians would do a sign of the cross. I did some reading on Ghana and they really are a tolerant country when it comes to religion - we need more Muslims in the world like them ...
If they will declare Jihad against soccer, this will surely mean Jihad against their fellow muzzies as well... Soccer is more popular in most muzzie countries than any other sports...next to firefight :-)
Finally, something that makes sense. Even they know a 0-0 three-hour ties is boring.
Ghana's success seen by few

Ghana's qualification sparked celebrations from the players - but the reaction from the stands in Nuremberg was more muted.
Only a few hundred fans had been allowed to travel from Ghana to watch their side, known as the Black Stars, play in their first World Cup.
Thousands of others who'd bought tickets were refused entry to Germany because the embassy in Accra didn't believe they'd go home after the tournament.

These people "Don't" want to get along with anybody.
LOL!
Islam isn't any fun....
Yup, it's really the Wahhabi strain of Islam coming out of Saudi Arabia that is the problem. Unfortunately, their modus operandi is to shame the tolerant strains of Islam in Africa and the Far East as not being devout enough.
World Cup ping.

I'm copy pasting this one, it's a keeper for Liberty forum.....can't wait to use it....thanks
It isn't just soccer the islamofascist nutters are worried about, it's every single Western infuence...here's an example:

Next time your children have the television on, be warned that what they are watching contains messages designed specifically to enter the mind of the child or young person. In the case of many cartoons, for example, we see elements of idol worship couple d with the taking of partners with Allah Ta'ala. So many of these cartoons have a mythological underpinning with a focus on idolatry and false gods. All of these cartoons and so forth are laying the foundation for turning the children into Mushriks. For example Superman, where people in need call out to this caped Kafir in his underwear to save the day with his god-like powers. How many Muslim children spend their formative years acting out imagined scenes from Superman or other simila r cartoons? This is something in direct opposition to the principles of Tawheed that we, as Muslims, should seek the help of Allah alone...

Fun is against Islam.
