New away Jersey of the FC: Mer losse de mosque en Kölle

The search for scandals may be in the summer hole is a hard business. A little story that has the "image"newspaper on Thursday to "fight to Erdogan mosque in Cologne-Jersey" inflated, is a beautiful example of this. The beginning of the week the football club had 1. FC Köln on Twitter, the Mail of a man made public, had terminated his FC membership is due to the new away jerseys. Because on the Shirt, the Cologne Panorama, office, Dom, Rhein – Energie – stadium, television tower Colonius, and also the Ditib is incorporated very subtly-Central mosque. "As I have noticed today that the FC runs now with jerseys, which are equipped with a mosque, and I can't identify with Muslims and mosques, I hereby declare my withdrawal from the faith community 1. FC Köln.“ Then, the man advantage of the opportunity for a homophobic jab: "I suspect that in the next seasons, the jerseys are pink, then the openness to the world would be perfect."

The FC thanked ironically for the idea with the pink Jersey, referred to his tolerance Charter, and took the notice with the words "Hadi bye" (Turkish for "time"). In the network an interesting and, in Parts, surprisingly nuanced debate ensued. Many users welcomed the fact that the club have shown a clear edge. Others pointed to the fact that some of the key points of the mosque Association Ditib discussions, the FC-Charter – just about by homophobia. As a result, the FC was again clear: "The mosque is a symbol for the large Turkish Community in Cologne, there are very many die-hard FC Fans. It has become part of Cologne's Skyline. This is true regardless of how one stands politically to the operator of the mosque.“ So everything was actually said.

scandal! Tend not to

The "image"newspaper found the and put a whopping five authors of the "riot to, THIS new Jersey of 1. FC Cologne!“ As the first shocking result, they presented the finding that the mosque on the Jersey-panoramic "suddenly stands on the Rhine (and not, as in reality, two kilometres away)". Scandal! Tend not. Both of the Colonius as well as the FC stadium in real life pretty far away from the Rhine. The Panorama on the Jersey is simply in the Tradition of the idealized view of the City. And on the left side of the chest of the Away Jersey is, of course, as always, the official FC Logo with the Billy goat and the striking Cologne Cathedral. The downfall of the Occident must be again cancelled. The house of God remains, as for Tout Cologne so also for the FC of the iconographic fixed star. Therefore, it is simply nonsense that the CSU interior expert Michael Kuffer was on Thursday of "image" with the words quote, you should not put the mosque, the landmark of the old Catholic Cathedral city of the same. Because it was "simply a cultural nonsense", was a politician from Bavaria.
