Muslims warned against 'devilish' Man Utd jersey

[Saint in Paradise]

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - Muslims must not wear the famous Manchester United red jersey because of the

"devil" emblem on its team crest, Malaysian clerics said Wednesday.

 

Manchester United and the rest of the English Premier League are massively popular in Muslim-majority

Malaysia and the rest of the Asian region, but conservative religious scholars said the jersey is un-Islamic.

 

Also off limits are the shirts of teams including Brazil, Portugal, Barcelona, Serbia and Norway, all of which

carry images of the cross on their team emblems.

 

Wonder if Saints will be OK then ? If they are better then get the sales team out there at once

This is NOT an anti Muslim thread, it is to bring this situation to the attention of any Saints fans tempted to

wear a football shirt in Malaysia that might not be welcomed.

If Anything this is a PRO Muslim fred. Anything that reduces the amount of Man Ure replica kits contaminating every street/shopping mall in the world is a good thing!!!
