Another offended Muslim

Really, you can't go more than ten minutes without hearing or reading about some perceived slight against Muslims. Did I write ten? I meant to write five. It hasn't resulted in rioting or people being killed (yet), but a Muslim lawyer in Italy was greatly "offended" when traditional Italian soccer power Intermilan played a game against a Turkish squad wearing uniforms which contained a red cross on a white background: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article3035438.ece. The fact that the cross is part of the city of Milan's symbol seems not to concern this lawyer in the least, who argues that the soccer shirts were intended to "humiliate" Muslims.

Honestly, when does this end? WILL it end? I just hope that Intermilan doesn't give in to this latest act of Muslim legal aggression.
