MADRID - Imitation Barcelona shirts sold in Saudi Arabia have a club emblem doctored to exclude the St George's Cross, the municipal flag of the Spanish city, La Vanguardia newspaper reported Saturday.

The Barcelona-based daily, citing Spanish residents in the Saudi capital Riyadh, said the horizontal bar to the red cross on white background had been omitted from the shirts' badges.

Club officials in Barcelona were not immediately available for comment.

La Vanguardia said that the club had been informed of the sale of fake shirts in Muslim countries, notably with the altered cross of Sant Jordi, but thought they were not sold in shops.

The paper said the alteration was down to a fear of offending Muslims by the cross' connotation to the Crusades during the 12th and 13th centuries when English soldiers adopted the St George's Cross as they attempted to take Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule.

So FuNnY...yet SAD.

After that they brag about women's rights in the Middle East (and especially S.A.)

*SIGH*

Thank You America !

In da US, Saudis feel kinda inferior due to some reasons, among them:

- The fear of getting kicked outta country and hence losing scholarships. So they simply "walk beside the wall" ;)

- Facing trouble issuing/renewing their VISAs. :D



what a sarcastic life cycle, in KSA they (Saudis) are persecuting others. And here in America nature is playing it's role by taking revenge on Saudis.

Thank you America. :D

When will Arabs (especially Saudis) realize that everybody is equal?.. Indians, Philippines, Germans, Brazilians, Indonesians, South Africans...etc.?


We're all humans, aren't we?

Saudi theater scuffle

Theatergoers in Saudi Arabia gave new meaning to interactive theater when they mounted a stage to punch, hit, kick and whack actors with planks during a performance.

The television network al Jazeera broadcast video Tuesday of Muslim militants attacking actors during a play whose theme was both anti-extremist and anti-liberal

The incident occurred about a month ago when the actors were performing at Al Yamamah College in Riyadh during a college-sponsored culture week.

The play, titled "Moderates Without Moderation," portrayed Saudi society as being both hijacked by religious extremists -- fanatics who advocate violence, terrorism, and fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and liberals who ape everything the West has to offer, good or bad. The play’s theme went on to contend that extremism on both the left and the right has left Saudi moderates with a lack of identity and direction.

The incident came after Islamists got wind of a play "against Islam." Some of the attackers, who were not students, were sentenced and jailed, but all have been released. Nobody was seriously injured as a result of the scuffle.

After the incident, the college performed "Moderates Without Moderation" before invitation-only audiences. 

Ibrahim Malik, the director of marketing and public relations for the college, said that this kind of incident has happened before in Saudi Arabia, and urged the government to do more to prevent similar occurrences. Islamists have previously issued death threats to comedians who lampoon terrorists and religious fanaticism. 

Malik suggested that the jailed attackers were released quickly because Saudi courts, which are based on religious law, tend to be lenient in such cases. He said the college was surprised to find out during the investigation that the ringleaders didn't even know the name of the play, and had acted only because they had heard it was against religion. 

Malik stood by the school’s decision to perform the play and said that "the university believes, as an educational institution, that they have the goal and objective to play a major role in confronting this type of trend."
