Assalamu alaykum - fans from Israel won't be allowed to attend a match in the UK

Assalamu alaikum. They're reporting that fans of the Israeli club Maccabi won't be allowed into the Europa League match against English side Aston Villa in Birmingham for security reasons. Birmingham's Advisory Group on City Security, which issues permits for large sporting events, announced a ban on the presence of fans from Israel at this game. According to the police - based on observations and analysis of past incidents, including violent clashes and hate crimes - there is a high risk of disorder during the match. The police stressed: "Relying on a professional assessment, we are confident this measure will help keep people safe." The decision was made, among other reasons, to protect Muslim and other spectators, in sha' Allah. As an argument they point to an episode in Amsterdam, when after a match between Ajax and Maccabi angry Israeli fans insulted Palestine, ripped Palestinian flags from windows and attacked Dutch people who disagreed with their actions. Riots then broke out and dozens of people were detained. By the way, a bit about the religion for those who don't know: Islam arose in the 7th century and strongly influenced the history, culture and social development of many peoples. In Arabic "Islam" means submission to the will of Allah. Today Islam has more than a billion followers.
