Football 'supporters' all over the sing moronic songs about tragic events that have happened to their rivals. In Italy rivals of Juventus sing songs celebrating the deaths that happened at Heysel. Rangers and Celtic fans still sing sectarian songs celebrating atrocities.

So I guess they're Christians as much as those guys in Turkey are Muslims.
But it's only football this happens, seems to be the sport that appeals to the moronic fringe of all religious and non-religious sports fans.

I guess the yells of "Allah Akhbar" were just the same as the Christian hooligans here who are always yelling "Jesus Saves" at football games.
