Islamic Cleric Urged FIFA To Ban Christian Players From Making Sign Of The Cross by exlinkleads(f): 8:33pm On May 12, 2017 |
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.

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? 540 Likes 42 Shares

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 44 Likes 4 Shares |

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. 76 Likes 3 Shares |

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. 83 Likes 3 Shares |
