Its just a chant but the problem is those with an agenda, like the BBC, will take it out of context and push it as 'Liverpool fan love Islam'. I suspect that is far fro the truth and the chant is simply, as said above, because a Muslim player is doing them proud. And good on him.
highbury57, //I wonder what the attitude of some of the respondents towards Islam is. Worrying undertones in some of the responses.//
No undertones fro me, like. Naomi I dislike the religion intensely and lets be fair as I am the 'infidel' it hates me too. The difference is I dont want to kill them all whereas their religion (in its extremes) does promote murder of the infidel.
The religion also treats women and homosexuals terribly, how can anyone support a religion linked to throwing homosexuals off tall building?
If the religion moves into the 21st century then I may reconsider.
