They claim the outfits are insulting to Muslims. Too bad they don’t seem to know the reasons why the Crusaders came to be in the first place (Muslim invasion of the Holy Land and Europe).
It isn't Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you
Steve S says
Those guys that wear those crusader outfits sound like fun loving guys who like to stir things up and piss people off. Kudos. Qatar is an Islamic fanatic country. Let them get pissed off.
I’m getting a laugh! LOL.

What the Al Jazeera “news” channel failed to mention was also the following:
Two England fans have claimed they were stripped naked and humiliated for dressing up as Crusaders at the World Cup England game.
The pair who live in Qatar, and who asked not to be named fearing the strict laws and rituals in the country, say they paid £3,000 for custom costumes from India which were inspired by comedy movie Monty Python.
They say they were asked ‘are you here to kill Muslims?’ when they walked into the stadium ahead of the match against Iran.
They were turned away at five different checkpoints for the wearing the offensive dress, which included head to toe chainmail and plastic props, and missed the first half of the match.
When they surrendered their outfits they then reattempted to enter the stadium to watch the second half but claim they were ushered into a side room and ordered to strip.
One of the crusaders even spoke with TalkTV after the game, slamming the treatment of supporters.
He said he’s been ‘lucky’ to stay in the fan-zone costing £250-a-night said: “The problem is, what they don’t realise in places like Qatar, the fans are the essence of the game.
“We are what makes the game. It’s not the corporates, they help financially in the background, it’s us the fans that make football and we are the football.”

So, it’s ok to be a muslim and not a Crusader….we should do the same with muslims of course.

May I suggest Bonny goes to the Belgian website ‘vrt.be english’ (type in those words, EXACTLY) and see their news regarding ‘hooligan violence’ after the Belgium/Morocco match.
It has been put forward by the media, as if the violence was instigated by ethnic Belgians, but……guess what!!!!!

“Hooligan” is always code for “white Christian.”
Ghulam says
What’s with Muzzies and our fear of free speech?
Especially countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan and Malaysia.
Let non-Muslims say what they want, and do what they do. Muzzies should learn to mind their own business.
Don’t you have faith in your Allah u Akbar slogans? Raise them high but don’t intimidate.
In fact I like those Crusader costumes. As I get along with the English more than other Westerners, I’d have invited those fellas for a cup of tea.
BareNakedIslam says
Ghulam, you crack me up sometimes.
BLR says
agree ! not your stereotypical muslim this Ghulam ?
BareNakedIslam says
He has a good sense of humor. That’s one of the reasons I like him. Many here don’t agree with me, however.

Few people in the West today know that pure-blooded (read: blue-eyed, fair-haired, porcelain white-or pink-skinned, pointy-nosed, thin-lipped, pink-nippled, and pink-external genitalia-having) European Roman Catholic Christians and Orthodox Christians decimated Koranimals in many a battle, chief among them being the 732 A.D. Battle of Tours, the First Crusade, the Battle of Montgisard, the 1212 A.D. Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, the 1340 A.D. Battle of Rio Salado, the 1475 A.D. Battle of Vaslui, the 1529 A.D. Siege of Vienna, the 1565 A.D. Siege of Malta, the 1571 A.D. Battle of Lepanto, the 1595 A.D. Battle of Călugăreni, the 1621-and 1673-A.D Battle of Khotyn, the 1683 A.D. Battle of Vienna, the 1694 A.D. Battle of Hodow, and the 1697 A.D. Battle of Zenta.
I wish all islamocritical Westerners and Eastern Europeans would follow in the footsteps of their gallant ancestors as well as those of Baruch Goldstein, Alexandre Bissonnette, and Brenton Tarrant, en masse and ASAP!

Actually, it’s the perfect place for Crusaders. Muslums don’t like to be reminded that they lost that one. They were asking for it besides.
