As Salaam Alaikum,
I came across this picture here, and read an article about it here.
Now I guess this occured in February where African nations were playing for the African Cup in soccer. It’s May now so I’m quite sure I am late on speaking on this subject, but still. After reading the article and some of the comments left, I am left thinking of how this is really ironic. And really how it shows something deeper, which I am not applying to this player, but it really does show something… it starts with an “r”.
This player was playing against Sudan.
I’m just saying… if you know what I mean. He was playing against Sudan and this is what he came up with?
Sure, Gazans have it really bad… but compared to other people, they have it good, I mean when it comes to publicity and all. Muslims probably cheered over this when this happened, Muslims who don’t have anything to do with Gaza. Did any of them think of what country he was playing against?
Am I the only one who could see how this could be a really big slap in the face to the Sudanese players?
I mean you can’t protest against everything, but wow.
I know it’s a competition but can’t you show some solidarity with the people you are playing against?
African Cup. African Nations. Yet still Arab-nonAFrican issues
And i only mention this because I found this because I heard about it through Muslims, and most of the players on both teams are likely to be Muslim. (and people love to talk about Gaza and pass it off as a Muslim issue)

Well if he protested about issues closer to home like torture in sudanese prisons, he would end up in jail himself. The Arab goverments have created people who always moan about an enemy that is far away (Isreal, USA) in order not to hold accountable the closer enemies (their own goverments).
After the release of Aljazeera cameraman Sami al hajj from Guantanamo, a conference was held to celebrate his release and anti-american speeches were made. Yet no one addresses the serious human rights abuses that is taking place under their nose. Every friday at mosques they shout “death to America”, how can Allah be on their side when they dont deal with their own injustices.
