Re: Inter Milan Kit - Offensive to Muslims

This looks like it's been blown out of all proportion - it isn't the whole muslim population, it's one attention-seeking lawyer.

I'd be interested to see how many of those (not on here, necessarily, but just in general) who are up in arms about this whole thing feel the same way about hindus using swastikas. Do they think "fair enough, they were using the symbol long before the nazis came along, why should they give it up just because of what it's now come to represent to many people", or do they think "you can't use swastikas, that's a nazi symbol"? I'm prepared to bet there'd be quite a few thinking the latter.
