Muslims cannot be a Red Devils fan no more!

KOSMO! carried a report about Muslims who wittingly or unwittingly wear football jerseys which display images of crosses, liquor brands and devils.

Johor Religious Council adviser Datuk Nooh Gadot said wearing such jerseys were forbidden in Islam.

“It is as if Muslims are worshipping and exalting the symbols of other religions. Islam does not compromise on this matter, regardless of whether it is worn for fun, fashion or sport,” he said.

Perak Mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria agreed with Nooh and said although Islam did not forbid its followers from participating in sports or dressing up, it has to be done within the boundaries of Islamic law.

Among the football teams whose crests carry images of the cross are Brazil, Portugal, Serbia, Barcelona and Norway, while Manchester United carries the “Red Devil” slogan on its team crest.

This means : 

1. If you support Red Devils, but tear out the emblem from your jersey

2. If you support Liverpool, tear a big hole to cut out Carlsberg

3. If you support Barcelona or AC Milan, cut out the emblem.

4. If you drive a Chevrolet, remove the emblem too - it looks like a cross.
