#1 "Muslim Televangelist"

(Finally working their way out of the 6th Century at last.) If you were a devout muzzie, he would have a point. He is just not gifted enough to spain the sitiation.

Bishops are a Christian reference. Knights, Kings and Queens can conjure up images of crusaders. But then again, anything that is considered entertainment is cause for a fatwa against it.

#2 Chess requires logical thinking, thinking ahead, and employs no violence whatsoever - obviously un-Islamic.

#3 Originated in the Orient, found its way into Persia where the Muslims picked it up, spreading it through their culture. The Euros picked it up from them.

#4 I'd think that dogmatic Muslims would love chess. It's absolutely deterministic, with no provision for chance, happenstance or free will on the part of the pieces.
