The Greek gods, and how the non-believers still refer to them
Muhammed Salih al-Munajjed wrote a book about how the Olympic games are haraam because of their pagan origins and associations with ancient Greek mythology. Similarly, ‘Nike’ was the Greek goddess of victory, so some scholars equated wearing clothes with ‘Nike’ written on it with wearing a t-shirt saying ‘Hubal’ or ‘Vishnu’. Now Muslims are more concerned to package-up Afghan women and send them to the Olympics to beg for acceptance from the West, a much more important issue.
The ‘West’ has absorbed the Graeco-Roman identity as part of its culture, but this is an artificial idea. Actually the Greek and Roman civilizations were based in the south and the east of the Mediterranean, not in northern and western Europe. The centres of Roman and Greek culture were mainly in what are now or what were Muslim lands, such as the Mediterranean islands, north Africa, Egypt, Turkey, and Greater Syria. In fact, the Berbers, Copts and Syrians had much more to do with the Greeks and Romans than Europeans, certainly the Germanic peoples, including the English.

Its about 4 mins long, so have a look.
