Islamic Cleric Blasted For Urging FIFA To Ban Christian Players From Making The Sign Of The Cross After Scoring

Is it that the world is afraid of Christianity or that Christianity is not real or have loosen touch as the world evolves? Which is it? or is it for the fact that Muslim community hates Christians with passion?

FIFA has been urged to ban Christian players from making the sign of the cross after scoring a goal. A Muslim cleric from Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Alarefe called on football’s governing body to write it into the game’s laws that players be prohibited from tapping their stomach, chest, left shoulder then right shoulder to make a cross.

Alarefe, who is professor of religion at King Saud University in Riyadh, posted the controversial call on Twitter to his 17.4million followers, but he was quickly flooded with messages disagreeing with him. A number of people pointed out to the Muslim scholar that a huge amount of players kneel on the ground and kiss the floor in celebration of a goal, mimicking the Islamic prayer.

Alarefe wrote:

‘I’ve seen video clips of athletes, soccer players running, shooting and when they win they make the symbol of the cross on their chests and my question is if FIFA’s rules forbid this.’

While people form all religious backgrounds, including Christianity and Islam responded to his views, many condemned the cleric, saying it incited division.

Indeed! Religion of peace always have problems with minding their business.

This guys are just extremists and sadist

The extremist are here again! There should please take their stupid ideals away from sports. The unity of the world is hanging on a thin thread. And that thread is football

What about the jubilation of players like Demba Ba, kneeling down, opening yansh to heaven and nodding the ground. Why can't the cleric tell FIFA to ban that one also?

I'm a Muslim but this is the problem I have with this religion



haha, what is ur koinsignment?

Jesu! So someone can't practice his/ her religion in peace again

dis one they craze oo, how is that one affecting is life

this man deserve corporal punishment

Is football religious? They should instead have islamic football where only muslims play. If u commit foul, they chop off ur legs.

He just won talk am
galaxy s3 white for sale

Hmmm.

What about muslim footballers who knock their heads on the ground after scoring huh

thats why I'm not too comfortable with Islamic countries hosting major sport tournaments. eg the world cup. even if things turn out fine on the pitch, what about the ambience outside the stadiums etc etc

Wetin concern am?

Religion of peace

Let them ban Muslims too for bowing down to celebrate goals

Lol



The same people who hailed CAN and blasted buhari and every muslim in nigeria when CAN asked nigeria to pull out of islamic country sport will be here again bashing muslims for saying they should ban cross sign.


Hypocrisy and christianity.

Just disgusting.

Hiaaan! If they say ban hijab, He would say it never hurt anyone so why ban it. Now he should tell me, who does the sign of the cross hurt that he wants it banned? Between Hijab or naquib which some Muslims use to disguise bombs and the sign of the cross, which is more harmful to humans? They openly pray in the streets of non Muslim countries and no one has banned them. Yet ordinary sign made during games(which his religion doesn't permit him to watch if he wants to be strict about it) is affecting him?
Anyway, radicals have taken over.

This I assure you - something is wrong with Islam as practiced by some of them.

I want to insult the religion in its entirety, but the vast majority of good, right-thinking Muslims I know as well as the Yoruba ones make me exercise restraint each time I try.

But mehn, there's something fundamentally wrong with that religion.

How can a particular faith be so controversial.

These our muslim brothers sometimes speak as if they re possessed with the evil spirit...

Our muslim bothers bow their head on the pitch too nd we don't complain..

It's high time They make Shekau Fifa president..

Religion of feace..

Foolishness

Exactly why Donald Trump is very intolerant of this people. At first they will beg to be accepted, when you do, they start fighting for you to make changes that is not inline with their religion, with time they start changing the laws to their religion

But they can bow down when they score?

Religion of PEACE in opposite....


Thank God e no be FIFA president

...and they will ban Muslim players from bowing their heads down when celebrating.

Some people are just so unreasonable to a fault.

If Fifa should ban cross sign. Then Fifa is about to crash, for the cross is the holding pillar.
