German football song irks Muslims



We read:
"An anthem sung by fans of the German football club FC Schalke 04 has drawn protests from Muslims because of its reference to the Prophet Muhammad.

The Gelsenkirchen club, which plays in Germany's top league, the Bundesliga, has asked an Islam expert to consider whether the song might be insulting.

The third verse contains the words: "Muhammad was a prophet who understood nothing about football". "But of all the lovely colours he chose [Schalke's] blue and white," it goes.

The club has received hundreds of e-mails from angry Muslims recently, since Turkish media carried reports about the song.

Police in Gelsenkirchen, in the industrial Ruhr region of western Germany, say they are taking the Muslim complaints very seriously.

So the Muslim's are saying what....

Mohamed DID know something about football? Or he DIDN'T choose blue and white for his colors?

At least they didn't bring up that whole "child bride" thing....

I think this could be settled with a phrase my 6th grade teacher once told the class...

"If you don't have anything constructive to say, sit down and shut the hell up!"

Yes he actually said that.

But what can we expect from an uptight, sexually frustrated gang of thugs who want to be respected but show none to others?

personally if I were in charge of this team I would tell the Muslims to go F.T. (if you don’t understand, it's anatomically impossible!)
