- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

تشهد الساحة الرياضية البريطانية حالة من الجدل بعد أن أعرب نادي "نيوكاسل" الرياضي عن مخاوفه من رفض اللاعبين المسلمين: "ديمبا با"، و"بابيس سيسي"، و"تشيك تيوتي"، و"حات بن عرفة" - ارتداء الملابس الرياضية التي ترعاها شركة "ونجا" للقروض، في موقف مماثل لما قام به اللاعب "فريدي كانوتي" مهاجم توتنهام عندما رفض ارتداء ملابس رياضية تحمل شعار موقع للعب القمار.

Cisse and Ba could lead Muslim players' boycott of wearing new Wonga sponsor on Newcastle shirt

Newcastle's Muslim stars could refuse to wear the club's new sponsor on their shirt.

In the latest controversy surrounding the club's deal with loan company Wonga, Newcastle now face a tricky situation with several of their senior players.

Under Sharia law, Muslims must not benefit from either lending money or receiving money from another person - meaning that interest is prohibited. Interest is not paid on Islamic bank accounts or added to mortgages.

Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse, Cheick Tiote and Hatem Ben Arfa are all practising Muslims.

They may follow the stance of former Tottenham and West Ham striker Freddie Kanoute, who refused to wear the logo of gambling website 888.com on his Seville shirt over his religious beliefs.

Kanoute instead wore an an unbranded top in Spain, although he agreed to wear the logo during training.

Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra, assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, told The Independent: 'There are two aspects to this. We have the rulings of the religious law and we have the individual’s choice and decision on how they want to follow or not follow that rule.

'The idea is to protect the vulnerable and the needy from exploitation by the rich and powerful.

'When they are lending and are charging large amounts of interest, it means the poor will have short-term benefit from the loan but long-term difficulty in paying it back because the rate of interest is not something they can keep up with. The Islamic system is based on a non-interest-based system of transaction.'

'Freddie was allowed to wear a top without the 888.com and that is a reasonable request to be made by the player. Assuming all four are on the pitch at the same time, if you have seven out of 11 (with advertising on their shirts) you have sufficient coverage. It is not asking too much, I believe.'
