Muslims shouldn't wear Brazil, Man U jerseys

Muslims wittingly or unwittingly wear football jerseys which display images of crosses, liquor brands and devils.

Johor Religious Council adviser Datuk Nooh Gadot, according to a KOSMO! report, 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, who agreed with Nooh, 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 is just too-narrow minded for me... Will the logo alone cause Muslim to change their thinking and indulge in darkness??

The advice from the Johor Religious Council adviser only forbids Muslim sport fans from wearing Man U jerseys. They are still allowed to support Man U and cheer Man U on Astro.

Jangan jaga kain tepi orang.

For non-Muslims, mind your own business.

The MU crest has the figure of the Devil or Satan in it, ie Satan is carrying a pitchfork(as the Grim Reaper) and has a tail(a serpent).

That is why MU players call themselves the Red Devils. (their crest is red)

Muslims cannot work as stewards/stewardess too because they serve liquor to passengers in the airplane.

Has anyone actually seen how the Devil looks like to actually say that it looks exactly like the mascot of Man Utd? Just because the Man Utd fans called it The Red Devil does not mean it is THE devil. In that case, a root beer is indeed a beer, right?

Dear Saiful, don't be too sensitive, it's nothing to do with Islam ..... just the person whom think they can represent Islam and make this stupid comment.
If wearing a jersey is a crime, then how about driving a Cheverolet car or working in the company, is it a crime in Islamic Law? Then, I guess quite good number of Islam are committing crime.

Well, i believe that is his personal view as a religious person. And most of the people that you all met basically don't really following on what they been taught in their religion.

So you cannot judge the person with the religious practice only. If the person is a theft, will you said that the religion in the want that teaching him to become a theft.

Reply with " i was misquoted"
3) when caught red handed on video with sight & sound
Reply with " it sounds like me, looks like me but i don't think its me"

THERE ARE A LOT OF VERSION OF DEVIL IMAGES.
MALAY WITH PONTIANAK,POCHONG ETC.
CHINESE WITH THEIR OWN ZOOMBIES AND ACTION AND WESTERNER WITH THEIR VAMPIRE ETC...ETC...A LISTLESS PERCEPTION OF THE DEVIL.

DEVIL IS DEVIL STOP HALLUCINATING ABOUT HIS IMAGE WHICH IS UNSEEN.
SEEK REFUGE FROM YOUR CREATOR AND SUSTENER FROM HIS SWEET PROMISED.
