Yesterday in the stadium, the chant โthe one who doesnโt boo is Muslimโ was heard. I know it was aimed at the rival team and it wasnโt something against me โ but as a Muslim, it doesnโt stop being a lack of respect and something intolerableโ.
โI understand that not all the fans are like thatโฆ but to those who sing these things: using a religion as a joke in a stadium makes you look like ignorant and racist peopleโ.
โFootball is for enjoying it and cheering, not for disrespecting people for who they are or what they believe inโ.
โThat said, thanks to the people who came to cheer us on, see you at the World Cupโ.
Israeli air strikes have hit Al Ahli hospital in Gaza. More than 500 people - patients, doctors & those sheltering - have been killed.
What unspeakable horror. We will mourn their loss forever.
Our leaders could have spoken up for peace. They chose to cheer on war instead.
When will they demand an end to these atrocious war crimes? How many Palestinian lives will it take to call for these indiscriminate killings to stop?
Please, for the sake of humanity, raise your voice for an immediate ceasefire. The existence of the Palestinian people is at stake.
