Muslim lawyer sues over Crusader kitEveryone gets into the political correctness
act.
![]() A Turkish lawyer is taking legal action against
Inter Milan, the Italian football team, for wearing a strip with “Crusader-style” red crosses that he
alleges is ”offensive to Muslim
sensibilities”.
Baris Kaska, a lawyer in Izmir who specialises in European law, said that he had lodged a complaint in a local court against Inter Milan, which last month played the Istanbul team Fenerbahce in a Champions League match at the San Siro stadium in Milan. The Inter players wore a new strip - a white shirt with a giant red cross on it - marking the club’s centenary. Mr Kaska said he was not only seeking damages but was also appealing to Uefa to annul the match, which Inter won 3-0. “That cross only brings one thing to mind - the symbol of the Templar Knights,” he said. “It made me think immediately of the bloody days of the past. While I was watching the game I felt profound grief in my soul.” Fenerbahce sucked big time. I don’t think lawsuits will change that. Posted: Thu - December 13, 2007 at 11:15 AM |
