Muslims warned against 'devilish' Man Utd jersey
anchester United and the rest of the English Premier League are massively popular in Muslim-majority Malaysia and the rest of the Asian region, but conservative religious scholars said the jersey is un-Islamic.
Also off limits are the shirts of teams including Brazil, Portugal, Barcelona, Serbia and Norway, all of which carry images of the cross on their team emblems.
"This is very dangerous. As a Muslim, we should not worship the symbols of other religions or the devils," Nooh Gadot, a top Islamic cleric from the southern Johor state, told AFP.
"It will erode our belief in Islam. There is no reason why we as Muslims should wear such jerseys, either for sports or fashion reasons," said Nooh, an advisor to the Johor religious council.
"Even if it (the jersey) is a gift, we should decline it. It is even more sinful when people realise this is wrong and still buy these jerseys to wear," he added.
Nooh said there was no "fatwa", or religious edict, against the shirts but that one was not needed when it was clearly wrong for Muslims to don such a garment.
"These Muslims should repent, repent immediately," he said.
Another leading cleric, Harussani Zakaria, a cleric from northern Perak state, agreed that devils should be shunned, not celebrated.
"Yes of course in Islam we don't allow people to wear this sort of thing," he told AFP. "Devils are our enemies, why would you put their picture on you and wear it? You are only promoting the devil."
Malaysia is a generally moderate Islamic country, but conservative clerics have issued controversial edicts in the past including a ban on the ancient practice of yoga, which is criticised for including Hindu religious elements.

gv yishun to undergo renovation . . .
yes, finally the torn down multiplex is for going a major renovation from Aug 12, 2010 till November 2010. it will be great it they could link Northpoint to GV Yishun too. so even if its pouring outside, we can eat or window shop whilst waiting for the movie. also please bring back burger king and the stone chairs that they used to have outside. it brings back many memories of the times we used to hang out after choir, having our dinner and waiting for the next show.
i remember watching 'my girl' which i believed was the first show i caught at gv yishun. the theatre was packed and of course there was a lot chattering. the whole lot of us occupied the centre row, and to our right , there was a couple quarrelling. it was more like the girl kept scolding her bf, it was chinese so i didn't know what was going on. we thought that it will die down once the movie started. however, the girl kept talking and talking despite the whole theater going 'sheeeesh' but the girl didn't get the hint and still continued. then from the front row, a guy said something in chinese addressed to the couple and the whole theatre was in silenced. then someone from the back clapped for the comment made. the same guy from the front got up turn around and said thank you with a bow to the one that clapped for him. then the whole crowd laugh n applauded and just then the couple got up and left the theatre, the crowd went wild and finally we could enjoy the movie in peace. found out later, that the guy bought the wrong ticket., it was not something that his girl did not want to watch. boy it was fun. =p
yes gv yishun holds many memories for many of us and i hope it will continue to do so.
