Cajun Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Now that the issue has been tackled, isn't there something we can do to stop this happening in the future? Ban all the non-white non-english forum users so no-one gets offended? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Bee Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I can't think of any alternative, unfortunately. I have a terrible feeling that the person you offended might have been white though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest number9 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Im a Muslim as well and I think I know what he was trying to do there,though Im not sure if it is the direction of Mecca he was praying to.Im pleased to see him doing that,and I hope it will become a trademark for him whenever he scores a goal. I dont think it was anything religous at all what he did. He was shocked he scored I guess cause he has been loosing his confidence over the months he need s more of these he will get better, unluckily he got injured again ...

I just impressed he still manage to think of it with that kind of emotional ecstacy (sorry, can't find a better word) seems like a nice person to me. Not every moslem did it actualy.

I hope it doesn't become a trademark. I'm not religious and never will be, I don't hold anything against people who are religious but personally i don't want their beliefs interfering with my life. Emre is a muslim and I respect that but i don't want to watch him worship on a newcastle united pitch, i think it is unappropriate to brings personal beliefs into football. Just my thoughts.

The tribute to the man city player you refer to doesn't mean anything to me personally, to me they are just pointing to the sky. What do you find offensive about the Muslim faith? what i find offensive about most religions is that they expect everybody to agree with them and how preachers try to persuade me that i am an idiot for not believing their religion. I don't want to walk into town to hear a christian preach about god and try to change the way i live my life because he or she is religious and lives their life by their faith. I don't mean to be offensive to anybody on the forum atall, I know muslims, christians and sikh's and have good relationships with them as people but i cannot accept their religion and wish for it not to have to be a part of my life, just because they believe it should be a part of theirs.

How about when Solano scored his second against Everton at home last season and done the cross on the chest? That's just as discreet as Emre's celebration.
