As a Muslim myself, I know this. I want to know what you meant by Zlatan referring to this... Are you suggesting the Islamic prayer has ever been confused with voodoo?
Zlatan tells Lukaku "‘Go do your voodoo s***, you little donkey"

Wasn't even Pogba's relationship with Lukaku strained by the end?
Lukaku doesn't exactly strike me as an easy team mate to have.
He's not a practising muslim. His father was a muslim from Bosnia and his mother a catholic from Croatia. He says different things in different interviews. He's said that football is his religion and everybody is welcome, he's also described himself as deeply faithful catholic.
I’d side with zlatan because lukaku is acting like a big kid. He seemed most angry about the mother comment, and posters in here even funnier saying he has a right to defend his family and reaction justified. Really? He’s a grown ass man, act his age and laugh it off, they’re not in school ffs
Come on, look at your username dude.
You're siding with Zlatan because you are a big fan and don't want to think he'd be a total twat.
Both look bad here. Zlatan's voodoo comments are very dodgy and Lukaku's rape and murder threats (if true) are very weird for the football pitch. What happened to simply calling someone a cnut in the heat of the moment?
Grow up ffs, what is it with these projecting comments form of debates. Trying to be funny on about garden sheds and stadiums, feck me. Donkeys live in little wooden sheds, in cartoons, in my head, in films. If they don’t in your world so be it.
looks like confirmed he said voodoo anyway so you can hop back on your racism train now and try and find some more funny comments To try and look cool with
How often do you hear voodoo jokes made about white or Asian people?
Donkey, I agree is just a general term for being stupid/clumsy
Zlatan clearly knows something about Lukaku and the voodoo connections from their overlapping time here. Whether there is truth to it, or he just knows how much it winds him up.
I don't believe a guy as experienced and switched on as Zlatan, who grew up an ethnic minority himself, would say that so openly and brazenly if he meant it in a racist way.

Funny how for some people it's the person that says it that makes it racist or not. A sign of the times.
Never assume, my username is purely because we signed him and I guessed his number looking for a quick promotion
After lurking here years.To be honest I forgot I was in here and with my username haha
Over 95% of images from my google search come up with dolls and witches though when I type the word “voodoo”...
Whats the whole Moshiri voodoo comment about? Ive read peoples explanations but I just dont understand why voodoo was brought up? He want to leave for Chelsea but later changed his mind to United? Where does voodoo fit into that?
It would be very weird to make voodoo jokes about someone that isn't an African descent or African since it's part of Africa's culture.
You’re completely right of course, I think I mixed you up with someone else, but I was much too hostile. Kudos for your stance.
What a stretch. A lot of white people compare black people to animals, so as he said an animal it must be rascist. Get out of here.
If anything, he said he likes white people, both male and female. The issue of consent might not be very clear to him though.
They both come out of this one looking like pathetic morons. Shockingly childish and idiotic behaviour from both.
The whole discussion is highly embarrassing.
Fact people are saying Ibra is racist and getting on like Lukaku is some sort of victim in all this is comedy, especially with his reaction before and after the exchange. ibra just threw some more petrol on it.
People are disappearing up their own arses these days with the debates.
Uote well known Ibra can be a POS sometimes.
Exactly, that’s the entire point of the insult.Probably because you’re rubbish
In the new video posted by Simon Stone it's clear Zlatan says "call your mother, do your voodoo shit"
and that's what makes Lukaku go for him saying "you want to talk about the mother"
Zlatan obviously knows the story and is just using it to wind him up - but it's not racism.

Would voodoo comments be considered racist in zlatans native country? Cus if not, who are we to judge? 
In all seriousness, I don't think it's particularly racist, I think it's something any player of any race/ethnicity who wants to get under lukakus skin would bring up. I don't think zlatans is looking at how factually correct it is, more it's something he knows will piss Lukaku off.
A whole lot of nothing tbh.

An Everton board member said that Lukaku told him his decision to leave was the result of voodoo ritual. Lukaku has denied this and was insulted as he is Catholic.
It was in the news at the time. Zlatan knew it was something which pissed Lukaku off and brought it up yesterday.
Probably because you’re rubbish
That's where I draw the line. Donkeys are smart and resilient animals, likening them with rubbish is scandalous.
Let’s not try and make this a thing. I was clearly thinking that Ibra was saying it in an offensive manner.
Ive heard people say “voodoo shit” for religious elements
I reread the posters message and yeah it was worded differently. Thanks for clarification

It's an absolutely sensitive subject on all sides and it's why I probably over reacted initially. At least we came to a someone amicable conclusion on a totally shirty subject that shouldn't be happening in this world.
Parts of Africa, not including Congo.
The only way to really sort this out is for everyone to do a Google image search for the word "Donkey" and see what comes up
Funny how people are just debating whether or not Zlatan is a racist but not if Lukaku is a sexist. Helena has been informed that she’s going to get raped.
Man knows he's a fecking donkey that's why.

That's beside the point, which I already made in an other post about Lukaku. It would be weird to make jokes about voodoo to a white or an asian person, the continent and cultural context would be completely wrong. Also there is variants of Voodoo in Congo-Brazza and also in other places, so in theory you can't exclude people that easily when they are from West and Central Africa, you need to know their family background more precisely.
What is the connection between 'voodoo shit' and Islam and salat? Your earlier posts seem to be connecting them and now you're saying "lets not make it a thing".
It's a reference to Lukaku's mum saying she got a voodoo message he should go to Chelsea right?
Only weird thing is Zlatan apparently following his fellow football players so closely he actually knew about this story.

8 pages on whether mocking Lukaku with "voodoo" is racist? Blimey.
I suppose everyone must know the intimate personal history between Zlatan and Lukaku, what they used to "banter" about in the dressing room etc.
