And are the offended teams going to remove any muzz symbols from their badges and shirts? I doubt it highly.
Even more reason to suspect the whole sport of soccer.
What will they do - explode?
Paging Muslim Rage Boy!
How long until Arsenal will be forced to remove the cannon from their badge because it's too militaristic?
“...due to the fact that there, the red cross represents the symbol of the brutal mediaeval Christian crusades against Islam.”
But someday the glorious Islamic empire will once again extend to Spain and they will safely be muslim lands once more.
The soccer stadium will also be able to serve as a public execution ground.
I'm feeling pretty good about those 'brutal mediaeval Christian crusades'. The Muslim's path to Jerusalem was soaked in blood. And still is today, come to that.

Note that the Beşiktaş is the only Turkish club which is entitled to have the Turkish flag on its emblem, because it once represented Turkey against the Greek national team. The flag is an enduring legacy of officially sanctioned ethnic and religious supremacy.
That any club that has historic reasons for having a cross or other religious symolism in their official uniforms/flags/banners is enough for that to stay in place.
The Crusades were a defensive effort to reclaim Christian lands that had been conquered by Muslims.
Has the whole world gone nuts or am I just trapped in a recurring loop nightmare?
I think they should knock down the minarets to avoid offending Spaniards.
I’m neither Christian nor Muslim, but this act by the Spanish team was pandering at its worst. Of all nations they could have stooped to, they chose Saudi Arabia?!! That excuse of a nation should have had its Satanic soul blown off to bits for all the Wahabbi activities that it has sponsored over the course of this century, responsible for the vast bulk of Islamic terrorism today. Besides, the Saudis are the most intolerant, arrogant excuses for life-forms that ever walked this earth, bi-pedally.
“the red cross represents the symbol of the brutal mediaeval Christian crusades against Islam?”
One more terrorist attack in America and there’s gonna be a repeat performance. And this time, we’re gonna finish the job.
In 1976, the World Hockey Association's Cleveland Crusaders moved to St. Paul and became the Minnesota Fighting Saints.
The City of Milan's coat of arms. Racist or bigoted??!! I think not.
Perhaps the Turks would have been less offended by Inter wearing their traditional symbol on the uniforms [/sarc]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The biscione, together with the Imperial eagle, on the coat of arms of the Duchy of Milan. The Biscione (large snake), also known as the Vipera (viper or in Milanese as the Bissa), is a heraldic charge showing in Argent an Azure serpent in the act of giving birth to a human: usually a child and sometimes described as a Moor. It has been the emblem of the Italian Visconti family for around a thousand years. Its origins are unknown. However it has been claimed that it was taken from the coat of arms of a Saracen killed by Ottone Visconti during the crusades. The biscione appears also in the coats of arms of the House of Sforza, the city of Milan, the historical Duchy of Milan and Insubria. It is also used as a symbol or logo by the football club Inter Milan, by Alfa Romeo and, in a version where a flower replaces the child, by Fininvest.
Too bad the Crusaders did not have a big enough defense budget; they could have stopped Islam back then!
I suppose it’s only about money: Selling shirts at ridiculous prizes is a major source of income for the clubs. And they can’t sell them in Saudi-Arabia if there is a cross on in...
Muslims offend me when they kill Catholic clergymen. When do I and the Church get satisfaction?
