Default Re: Barça's emblem cross-less in Saudi Arabia

The same goes for the T-shirts: these are counterfeited T-shirts, if they don't represent the original symbol of the club. Barça should sue those who distribute the T-shirts. In case the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia refuses to do anything about that (ie. through its courts to enforce the original T-shirt), then Barça should refuse ever to play with any Saudi club or have any business whatsoever with that country. But that's not going to happen either, for the same reason I mentioned in the previous paragraph.

I even heard that in most Muslim countries, as well as in Israel, the sign plus (+) is not used in maths because of its similarity with the cross, but some dot or little circle instead. I am not able to verify that right now.
That's right. The football club is company which is based in the urge to earn money --the soul-related aspects are nothing more than an obstacle.

I read this article in the morning. I regard it not as an example of islamic hate, but as an example of our cowardice, our indecency, our inner void.
