Islam, Mou minacciato: "La colpa è dei giornali" – Sport – ilGiornale.it del 28-08-2009 via Sul Terrorismo.

English Newspaper Daily Star has reported about death threats made by some Islamic fundamentalists sites against Inter’s coach Josè Mourinho, accused of having attributed to Islam the lack of activity of Sulley Muntari against Bari last Sunday. "I believe that Muntari has some problems with Ramadan", said Mourinho on Sunday in the press conference in San Siro, on League’s first day. The footballer, born in Ghana, a devote Muslim, was substituted half an hour later by Mario Balotelli.

Italian Politicians and Muslim leaders have sprung to the defence of Jose Mourinho after reported threats were made against the Inter Milan coach on extremist websites.
British newspaper Daily Star claimed that death threats had been made against Mourinho on some Islamic sites following comments the Portuguese made relating to Ramadan.
Last week Mourinho had explained his early substitution of Ghana’s Muntari Sulley against Bari by saying that the practising Muslim lacked energy, possibly due to observing the Muslim fast during the month of Ramadan.
The threats made on chat forums came after the president of the Union of Islamic communities and organisations in Italy (UCOII) Mohamed Nour Dachan had said Mourinho should talk less.
But Dachan responded to the threats by saying: "We firmly condemn the threats made to the Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho with whom we want to express our solidarity."

    Whining, moaning ,bleating Muslims;don't you just love them??
    What next?the interruption of a top game to allow prayers when the muezzin starts wailing!
    If ill educated Muslims knew anything about physiology;then they'd know Morinho's hypothesis had a foundation in real fact!
    Glucogenesis is the physiological energy source when running c.10 kilometres in the course of a football game.
    It's the biochemistry of respiration; just like a car can't run on empty.
    Of course such things are not on the madrassa curriculum!

    Who needs science when the phrase "god willing"is the answer to everything?
    They would be better off trading this selfish player for a handfull of magic beans.

    Their knee jerk reactions to any conceived negative comment on Islam is conditioned into them from birth. They can't help themselves. And it only draws attention to the issue, thereby defeating the purpose of their reaction In the end, Islam is it's own worst enemy.
