Is wearing and having pride in the Union Flag “a sin“? No. Though radical cleric Omar Bakri Mohammad thinks it is a bad thing for Muslims to do, saying:
Amir Khan is not a good example for Muslims. He wears shorts with the Union Jack. That is a sin…
He should not be wearing the flag because sovereignty is for God. His only allegiance should be to the Prophet Mohammed.
The ideal situation would be to have a Muslim team not registered to any state so he can represent the Islamic community.

Oh, come on. Having Union Flag boxing shorts is not sinful in any way. It is, however, tacky.
And British Muslims are British people who just happen to be Muslim. They’re still British, no matter what.

So much for Muslims having a British identity and sharing our values.
Obviously most Muslims do, or else Omar Bakri Mohammad wouldn’t have to speak out against it! Only the extremists don’t.
