Hopefully he will agree to give a percentage of his wages back too, on principle. Would his religion have a probblem with Virgin Money or Northern Rock?Last edited by Charly; 17-07-13, 05:51 PM.In the beginning, Fowler created the Heaven and the Earth.Comment

Wonga only offer loans at (exorbitant) interest. Virgin Money has a wider range of products. The same applied to Northern Rock.
It seems to me that the he didn't do the same in past years is not the clinching argument it's made out to be..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Indeed. The only disappointment is that none of his teamates backed him up but I guess the realities of Wonga are even further away from professional footballers than some posters here.Last edited by Kenneth; 17-07-13, 10:41 PM.Trey Nyoni: countdown to stardom-2 years1year0.5 yearsComment

Stolen from Facebook, but still funnyPapiss Cisse has been fined for refusing to wear a team shirt showing Newcastle club sponsor Wonga.
He's been hit with an initial fine of £5000, rising to £47,987,654,334 if he hasn't paid by FridayFootball without Origi is nothingComment

And the point Charly makes is valid - Wonga is contributing to his salary: would he give up a portion of his salary?Originally posted by Neil Young View PostMy kebab comes with chilli sauceComment

He's drawing a line. It's in a different place to you. I suspect he could find plenty of support among respected Islamic scholars for what he's doing.
Unless you're suggesting all Islamic scholars agree on absolutely everything...which they don't which, in turn, is one reason why there are so many Islamic scholars..

Common sense should prevail and in this instance it seems clear to me that Cisse is being reasonable and the club need to respect that."Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob PaisleyComment

What the club should do is to allow him to play without Wonga on his shirt. If he's engineering a move away it'll totally scupper his plans

There is no line on Interest - it doesn't matter if it's 1% or 1000%. Its like saying you can drink a tiny bit of alcohol but not drink too much.. If he is still accepting the salary Newcastle are paying him since Wonga started sponsoring Newcastle then he is not being reasonable at all. He is being a hypocriteOriginally posted by Tee View Post

Yes he will find many scholars but he doesn't need to speak to a scholar regarding interest as anyone muslim knows about Riba. It's pretty much like alcohol - you can't go anywhere near it. I would happily "support" him in his belief but I won't as he is a hypocrite. They were sponsored by Virgin Money before! So if he didn't go on strike then then he shouldn't now.
