Dear Sir,
I want to take your attention towards your football song.Above are the lyrics of your songs.

Mohammed war ein Prophet
Der vom Fußballspielen nichts versteht
Doch aus all der schönen Farbenpracht
Hat er sich das Blau und Weiße ausgedacht
Being a Muslim we respect our Holy Prophet(PBUH).we love our Prophet more than our lives.If the board never remove these kind of lyrics from songs then Board,player any other can be trouble from Muslim.if you think Muslim dont hate them then you should remove that lyrics else they will get a hate from everywhere.Maybe some extreme can harm someone.
