December 22, 200717 yr I am sure a swastika would have evoked similar emotions among even a larger number of people, so I don't think we can really blame the guy for being overly sensitive.
December 22, 200717 yr But it's not a swastika is it, it's a red cross on a white background, which as the article states, is the symbol of the city of Milan. There's also the International Red Cross. Are you going to tell me that this organisation and it's symbol is offensive? So what do I think? I think this lawyer is a sh*t-stirring little toerag. End of story.

End of story. Well, the swastika is considered a holy symbol among Hindus, Buddhists and some other Eastern cultures. So, you are telling me there wouldn't be an outrage if a player had a swastika under his jersey and showed it to everyone after he scores a goal, the way Kaka shows his faith in Jesus. Its not just the Muslims but all people of all religions who get provoked by such trivial matters.
December 23, 200717 yr Jesus , muslims will stop at nothing to stir the sh*t . Any opportunity and there in . Im not the type to insult anybodys religion or beliefs but the Muslim faith is starting to control peoples opinions and views. The world is scared of them . Is it now a sign that world domination is near or on the way because they have more attention now than ever.They are putting fear into the minds of us so called non believers . Absolute bollocks . This lawyer guy is a prick , a trouble maker and an attention seeker .
December 23, 200717 yr He's saying it's a red cross on a white background and NOT a swastika. Amusing incident, this. If UEFA are good for anything at all they should make this guy look like a fool.
December 23, 200717 yr If UEFA are good for anything at all they should make this guy look like a fool. But we all know they aren't, therefore they won't
December 23, 200717 yr Lofty I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this as nonsense - it could set a precedent that you could benefit from greatly. If this case goes through then surely you could present a case for the anguish and suffering you are subjected to every time you see this and you have to see it every week - the payout would be enormous!!
December 23, 200717 yr Jesus effing Christ... this guy is a class A muppet. These two comments perfectly sums this whole thing up: The red cross on the white background is the flag of England. Is this character seriously suggesting that England abandons its national flag to avoid offending Muslims? Will Turkey change the crescent on its flag to avoid offending Christians? I thought not!! Robert, Liverpool, England, UK Muslims in western countries fight in courts to change heritage and christian symbols that doesn't suit their belief, while Christians in Islamic countries struggle to stay alive and not getting killed for just being Christians. Go figure! Hany, Toronto, Canada Also, I'd add to that last point... naming little teddy bears what little children want also leads to demands of death. Its nothing like the swastika, no one's got that on their flipping national flag !!!! Bollocks to it all.

Ah yes but now you're talking: Crimes against humanity: Scouse not humanCrimes against the state/treason: Scouse not English Complete and utter obnoxiousness. But then everyone knows that.

Its not just the Muslims but all people of all religions who get provoked by such trivial matters. Sorry but now you're just being silly. Yes I know about the swastika, also know as a fylflot (picked that little pearl of knowledge up from a Commando magazine when I was a nipper). I think that any Buddhist footballer who chose to display a fylflot as a demonstation of faith - and why would he when it is more of a good luck symbol? - would be guilty of gross insensitivity, don't you? In the case of this lawyer it's a matter of CHOOSING to be offended by something which is not intented to cause offence, something with a meaning totally unrelated to that which this idiot claims is causing offence. What you're attempting to do is dignify the argument by giving credibility to what is nothing more or less than blatant sh*t-stirring.
