Chip, chip, chip. Giving in to sharia demands gives way to more Islamic demands, more accommodations. If Muslim players don’t want to drink champagne, so be it — but you must submit to their mores and traditions as well. therein lies the rub. Jewish law pertains to Jews, canon law to Catholics, but Islamic law asserts it authority over non-Muslims. *Cheers.
Reuters: English FA ditch champagne for cup winners[EXCERPT] “(Reuters) – The Football Association (FA) will break with tradition and no longer hand out champagne to competition winners to avoid offending players whose religious beliefs prohibit alcohol consumption.
[…] Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez, Benjamin Mendy and Ilkay Gundogan are among the Muslims who could take part in this year’s final, along with Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure. Islam prohibits the consumption of alcohol.”
No More Popping Champagne for Winning Soccer Teams Over Muslim Sensitivities
By Daniel Greenfield, April 25, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementChampagne. Like freedom of speech, cartoons and seeing eye dogs, a champagne toast may be one of those sacrifices that have to be made in the name of the goddess of the new age of multicultural man.
Her name is sensitivity. And she is blind because she wears a burka. Here’s her manifestation as another tradition falls.
The Football Association are to scrap the tradition of awarding a case of champagne to the FA Cup winners out of respect for players’ religious beliefs.
English football’s governing body have a long held tradition of placing a case of bubbly in the winning dressing room on cup final day as a congratulatory gesture to the victors.
But following internal discussions the FA are abandoning the idea so not to offend players whose religious beliefs forbid alcohol use.
It’s lovely of the FA to think of all the Mormon soccer players.
Obviously such accommodations wouldn’t be made for the Mormons. Much as nobody would take hamburgers off the menu out of sensitivity to Hindus or shellfish out of concern for the Jews.
Sensitivity is another name for fear.
The Muslim faith strictly prohibits alcohol, while it is not recommended in other religions. Some players are also tee-total and under the legal age to consume alcohol, further considerations for the FA.
Jubilant scenes of euphoric players spraying champagne around the winning dressing room following victory in the final have become the norm over the years.
But such scenes provide obvious difficulties for Muslim players, even if they do not consume the champagne.
The FA will instead put a case of an alcohol-free champagne substitute in the winning dressing room so players can replicate those spraying celebrations.
An alcohol-free champagne is the perfect embodiment of modern Europe. It has external similarities, but it’s ersatz and unreal.
Do winning teams give up and abandon their victory celebrations?
Is Europe winning or is it losing?

Exactly. Well said.
Along the same lines: Some years ago my [hilarious] brother-in-law proposed “The Hot Dog Line” at all airports:
Before anyone could get on an airplane they’d have to take a bite of a hot dog. Anyone who wouldn’t is banned. Works for me!

I blame the English football’s governing body for this more than I blame the mooslems. Mooselems will be mooselems: continually offended over first one thing or another, but the “governing body” simply folds and knuckles under to the mooselems without so much as a whimper.

time for separate but equal to return to christendom. let the muslims have their own league, let black americans have their own school, return to male and female colleges, etc. the world of the white judeo/christian person is under attack from all sides who want to do nothing but destroy us, and like the dark ages, it’s time to return to living behind walls again. we are not all ever going to get along, which is why God separated the different races and religions on different continents

What is sad is that for 50+ years, so-called minorities have complained about being excluded. So they force their way in, and not want to be excluded again. And I said so-called because a few years ago I discovered by accident that whites are just 16% of the global population (1 out of every 7 people on Earth). THAT is a minority!

Hmmm. I was under the impression there was ‘white privilege’, but it looks like we’re actually an oppressed minority.. just like everyone else. The only difference between the white minority and all the others is that we aren’t constantly whining about it!

White people are a minority globally. Guaranteed the invader “minority” will still call themselves a “minority” when they are the majority. Minority or not, I am glad I am “white”. People don’t have to be alarmed or frightened when they are around me.

This is highly reminiscent of the “Tower of Babel” Bible story. The world developed its various cultures and languages independently. Trying to ‘homogenize’ everybody into one common culture is not only a fool’s errand, it’s also unnatural, and quite obviously unworkable. Of course if the Muslims get their way, we’ll all be forced to worship Allah.. or else!

OK then.
Old traditions have to disappear. The new masters want it that way.
Giving up more and more traditions and values due PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WORLDWIDE TERROR !
It’s nothing else! How long will we have to endure this collapse before Islam?

No one is forcing these inbreds to drink or eat ham! We are giving our cherished rituals away because of fear….gut fear that the Muslims will throw a fit because some non-Muslim wants to celebrate with alcohol. No wonder the Muslims have no respect for us. We deserve none.

One cannot place the blame solely on the Demokkkrat Party. The State Department is responsible for approving refugees and refugee status. Moreover, it is responsible for issuing any, and all, visas. Last I checked, President Trump appointed Michael Richard Pompeo as Secretary of State. Let’s call a spade a spade (no, I ain’t talkin’ ’bout soomawwlees).

The UK has decided to wants to be an Islamic society.
Detailed Information regarding Islam and Sharia is broadly available for free and is easy to understand.
The British had plenty of opportunity to toss out PM May and reverse this transition to Islam. They didnt.
One can only conclude that they like being an Islamic society.
Have fun with that.

Vile submission. More capitulation by the West, whose mental properties were possibly weakened by decades of progressive decrees, and extremist political correctness.
So that now one is silenced and pushed over.
Why should the West change their manner of doing anything to make anyone else comfortable.
Let those who drink champagne to celebrate do so, and those who do not drink champagne, except perhaps in private, let them refrain.
That is called fair play. People should consider not supporting these teams and their nonsense.

Ayatollah Khomeini: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer.”
This is more proof, as if any was needed, that if anything is good, beneficial, enjoyable, the Muslims won’t allow it.

You want to see the hordes of drunken Muslims in Germany. Getting pissed seems to be the first thing they like to do when they arrive illegally as a “Refugees”. To make it worse, not being used to alcohol they only need a beer to be pissed out of their underdeveloped little brains.
