Interesting that the investigation is on racist chanting, but should it be on religious chanting, or terrorism chanting? Certainly a first for the FA and will be interesting to see the outcome

Didn't think there was a charge even made up for religious or terrorism chanting

No. It is racist. It's implying that Bradford's Muslim population are all terrorists.

I recall watching the Albion at Kenilworth Road where the chant of "town full of bombers" was sung.

Too busy watching our front pairing of McCammon and Turienzo tear their defence a new one to take much notice though.

Not the real one
No worse than what gets sung at Albion fans. We are expected to take it as banter. So I suggest Bradford do and don't expect to wait for any guidance or help from the FA. Any worse than 'you burnt down your town' against palace fans or 'you'll never get a job' at scousers? Is it because the chant involves Muslims that makes this different?

But by referencing Muslims, isn't that religious and would fall under the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 as religious hatred, or do the FA have a separate definition within their rules

Objection.
The prosecution refers to the chant naming Muslims when in fact it names the Terroist group Islamic State In Syria (not even Libya). This cannot come under the 2006 religious hatred act. However should come under the 2015 funny chants act.

You blow up the jewboys,
Like a good bunch of muslims,
Like dirty smelly arseh*les,
Like backwards thinking twats,
Like camel-f*cking b*stards,
Like a carbomb in Baghdad,
Come kill me again!
