I think we have had it

Why is it Islamaphibic?
...

If you follow the flow of the comments, especially Ivor's, it's obvious why morqthana asked the question that he did:

Agree with muslims or suffer.

Some implication that Muslims are inherently nefarious.

I doubt they'll get much peace and understanding from the crowd at the stadium.

Followed by a suggestion that spectators would be harrassed if they payed during Ramadan.

Why?
Are football supporters intrinsically Islamophobic?

Morqthana's question is a fair question based on the immediate previous anti-Muslim comments.

Why is it Islamaphibic?
Do we stop for Jews? Would oppose if they stopped for Jews? YES
Hindus,?
Sikhs?
Many forms of Christianity¿
Any other Religion?

I hear the Celtic games up here will be stopped mid way so a condensed Catholic mass can take place in the centre circle.

Perhaps play a bit of footy, then have some sort of multi-religious festival. Swing some incense burners, sing a few hymns, sacrifice a goat. Then play a bit more, then a bit more random religion.

At the same time, perhaps we should incorporate football breaks into religious festivals. Perhaps some keepie-uppies during weddings, have a kickabout during a funeral.

Alternatively, perhaps we could continue just playing footy in the football stadium and keep the religious stuff in the church or mosque.

Then many, including you, would argue that UK is being subjected to becoming a Muslim state and Christianity is being lost.

Keep religion out of sports.

Keep religion out of schools (other than learning the basics).

Keep religion out of workplaces (unless you work in a religious establishment obviously!)

Keep religion for church and home.

I'd really like you to make sense. I've tried reading it 3 times but still can't understand what your point is meant to be.

Ramadan breaks to be used across English football again - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c20jpvd300do

What's your problem?

What's your problem?

DOH, I'll probably be block from the thread for asking a question.

 

[morqthana]

Agree with muslims or suffer.

To what extent, and by what legal mechanism, do you think that private businesses should be forbidden from accommodating religious beliefs of their employees, if they choose to?

Should we have a law, for example, forbidding companies to offer Kosher or Halal food in their staff restaurants for employees who want it?

What about companies being forbidden to allow employees to wear a cross on a chain, or a brooch?

Making it illegal for employers to allow Jewish employees to leave work early on Fridays in the winter? Or to allow male ones to wear kippahs?

Legislation forcing employers to ban Sikh employees from wearing turbans?

Please tell us about how your rules would work, how they would be enforced, and what their scope would be.

I mean, you have thought this through, haven't you?

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

if they choose to?

They don't choose to, they're pressured into it.

By racism accusations or other threats. Disagree sufficiently with a muslim then a death threat will be issued.

Football stadiums are for football. Stick with that and you don't need any tedious debate about whether a cross is equivalent to a turban bla bla bla.

And should there be doubt, there's the post immediately following yours...

As this will be the 6th year where they've done it, can you tell us exactly when it isn't going to end well.

 

[IT Minion]

That's fine and dandy, as long as your religion allows that.

Keep religion out of sports.

Keep religion out of schools (other than learning the basics).

Keep religion out of workplaces (unless you work in a religious establishment obviously!)

Keep religion for church and home.

Fundamentalists of most, possibly all, religions will find some stupid rule that interferes with daily life.

In the increasingly atheist country that is the UK we're less tolerant of intrusive religions than we used to be.

Yeah, it's absurd to allow players to take a few minutes for a longer water break before they take a free kick.
