    It does seem utterly bonkers.

    What's the next step - banning all spanish club jersey's because spain is a catholic nation, and so you dilute your islamic faith by wearing a Real Madrid shirt?

    Religion - The root of all evil it seems......

    I don't think you'll find too many Christian countries banning the sale of Turkey, Tunisia and Pakistan football tops because they feature the star and crescent Muslim symbol.

    It's true that every religion has its followers who take things to extremes but those Muslim fanatics really do take the biscuit.

    This doesn't look like a legal ban just a fatwa issued by a bunch of nutters. What it indicates is the worrying trend of the fundamentalist element in Islam to feel it can interfere in everything.

    The Muslim nutjobs are also trying to get flags with Christian symbols/crosses banned - this will affect all the Scandavian countries, British, English, NI, Scottish, Jamaican, Swiss, Australian, New Zealand, Slovakian, Greek, Maltese, etc etc etc

    .... not unlike the company from 50 miles away who, up until 20 years ago, put a ban on Catholics working for them.

    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    This has been airbrushed from history of course. Any reference to it is usually in jokey fashion as if it was just a bit of banter

    As for the extremists who want the shirts banned, plain daft.

    Who the hell do these Malaysians think they are coming over here and telling us what we can and can't do in their own country?

    Of course, organisations with a no Protestants policy are spoken about all the time. For example, how many Catholic high schools have a Protestant head teacher?

    It cuts both ways.

    ... as was the other company in the same city that wouldn't allow its greatest ever servant to have a seat on its board. Because he was a Protestant.

    A Catholic instituition with a Protestant head would be stupid in the extreme. Catholic schools allow non-Catholic children to attend and non-Catholic teachers, I think that is far enough.

    I know at first glance the ban on football tops seems OTT but maybe they are just trying to protect their culture. Personally I hate the Americanised culture we have in this country. There has to be a line somewhere. Look at Spain, if you go holiday there it's hard to get a plate of paella but no problem to get fish and chips in the Red Lion while watching Only fools and horses.

    I disagree, discrimination is never fair. Especially when you are expecting Protestant tax payers to contribute towards the funding.

    Apparently it had nothing to do with that at all.
