Seperti yang dilansir Associated Press, Schalke 04 meminta bantuan ahli agama dan ulama Islam untuk membahas keluhan yang diserukan umat Muslim akibat penyebutan Nabi Muhammad dalam nyanyian klub.

Lirik yang dipersoalkan umat Muslim ini sebetulnya pernah memicu kegalauan serupa 1997 silam. Lirik tersebut merujuk kepada Nabi Muhammad yang tak tahu apa-apa soal sepakbola tapi menggunakan warna biru dan putih, warna kebesaran Schalke.

Tak pelak, seperti yang diutarakan juru bicara klub Thomas Spiegel, Schalke menerima ratusan e-mail dan surat keluhan serta menghubungi pihak kepolisian dan keamanan negara. Keluhan tersebut mendesak agar lirik tersebut dicabut dari dalam nyanyian.

Kutipan lirik lagu:

Blue and white, forever true
Blue and white is just like heaven born
Blue and white are the colours we have always worn

If we had a kingdom for us to make
It would resemble Schalke and no mistake
All the girls, oh so young and fair
Would sport a blue and white ribbon tied up in her hair

Mohammed was a prophet who
Knew nothing of football, that much is true
But of all the colours shining bright
The ones he thought up were our royal blue and white

A thousand fires in the night
Have brought us lots of pleasure and delight
A thousand friends all standing side by side
