“It made me think
immediately of the bloody days of the past. While I was watching the game I

A Turkish lawyer is taking legal action against Inter Milan, the Italian
football team, for wearing a strip with “Crusader-style” red crosses that he
alleges is ”offensive to Muslim sensibilities”.

Mr Kaska said he was not only seeking damages but was also appealing to Uefa
to annul the match, which Inter won 3-0. “That cross only brings one thing
to mind - the symbol of the Templar Knights,” he said. “It made me think
immediately of the bloody days of the past. While I was watching the game I
felt profound grief in my soul.”</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article3035438.ece">his demand that Inter should be “heavily fined for displaying
