From Op India, but taking up in the last 30 minutes by the Daily Mail and the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation.
Footballer Mohamed Salah has been ‘cancelled’ once again for wishing on Christmas. On December 24 (local time), Liverpool FC’s ace footballer Salah posted a photograph of his family sitting in front of a blue Christmas Tree with the caption, “Merry Christmas”. The happy family photograph did not go well with many Muslim social media users on various platforms, and they cancelled him in comments on both Twitter and Instagram. Salah is an Egyptian footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League Club Liverpool and is captain of Egypt’s national team.
Instagram User yxsm._ wrote, “Just as a reminder to everyone who is nonmuslim, WE MUSLIMS DO NOT CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS. It’s associating partners with God bc we believe he has no partners or children, and this is a major sin to believe!!!”
Another Instagram user, black_kiinnng, expressed dismay at a Muslim celebrating Christmas and said, “Can’t believe dis every year the same thing a big influencer like you taking part in this paganism event this is not from the Quran this is not from the sunnah this is shirk my beloved brother Mohamed first and foremost before a footballer your a Muslim away from the fame and clout one day you will have to answer to Allah azawajal as to why you glorified and promoted this for millions of people to see I’m gonna make Dua for you Insha’Allah, but honestly this is not from the deen this is not from the prophet (SAW) this is from pagans this is from the shaitaan May Allah guide us all Ameen.”
Instagram user itssidalou said, “Astagfirullah. You celebrating Christmas means that you believe Jesus Christ is your lord and that his birthday is tomorrow. When actually, nobody knows when his is birthday was and the prophets never celebrated their birthday. As a Muslim celebrating Christmas is haram and u encouraging your children is bad. Allah punishes the parents who don’t treat their kids about their deen. May Allah guide you.”
Twitter user Saif said, “I’m convinced that he does this just to piss off Muslims on social media. Anyways this is the guy y’all take as your role model?”
Another said: ‘I’ve been a Liverpool fan since I was born but I will stop supporting the club because you are celebrating Christmas with the Christians. You’ve just lost me as a fan Mo Salah. Goodbye!’
This is not the first time or the only reason for Salah to get cancelled on social media by the Islamists. In September, he got cancelled for condoling Queen Elizabeth II’s demise. Salah tweeted that the people of Great Britain and the world pay tribute and bid a final farewell to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. “My thoughts are with the Royal Family on this historic and emotional day,” he tweeted. Following his tweet, Islamists from across the globe attacked him on social media.
This was the third time in a row his Christmas pictures had upset Muslim fans, as they thought it was inappropriate for him to participate in religious activities of another faith.
I’m impressed he hasn’t been cowed into submission. Although he does have supporters for his message as well.
one fan describing him as the ‘African GOAT’. ‘To us you are Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe combined. Enjoy,’ they said.
His wife isn’t in a hijab, neither are their daughters and they are all wearing Christmas pyjamas. Heinous!

Mohamed Salah and family will be under threat for a long time. That is a consequence of free speech which often has a high price. Praise those who courageously live in that paradox.
Ask Salman Rushdie and the high-diving Russian dissidents for their viewpoints.
