Antonio Rüdigera Real Madrid center back international with Germany, filed a complaint in the Berlin Prosecutor’s Office against journalist Julian Reichelt for linking a gesture in a photo of him to the terrorist group ISIS. “For all those who do not want to recognize Antonio Rüdiger’s Islamist greeting as an Islamist greeting: the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution calls this gesture “the finger of ISIS” and sees in the index finger a clear sign of Islam,” Reichelt published on his social networks.
The image you are complaining about Reichelt is an innocent publication by Rüdiger as a greeting to Ramadan: “May the Almighty accept our fasting and our prayers.” Now, the Madrid player has given a few words in ‘Bild’ where he explains what happened. “The gesture I used is called finger tawhid. In Islam, this is considered a symbol of the unity and oneness of God. The gesture is widespread among Muslims around the world and only in recent days the Federal Ministry of Interior has classified it as not problematic,” he points out.
The Madrid fan recognizes his religion, but gives some nuances: “As a devout Muslim, I practice my faith, but I firmly distance myself from any type of extremism and accusations of Islamism. Violence and terrorism are absolutely unacceptable. I stand for peace and tolerance.”
Different beliefs coexist in his family. “Many of my family members belong to different religions. However, we respect each other and celebrate religious holidays together. Respect and tolerance are fundamental principles that we all represent in our family,” says someone who recognizes that their gestures They have been able to create misunderstandings.
“However, I also recognize that due to insufficient attention, I have given third parties the opportunity to deliberately misinterpret my post to divide and polarize. But I am not going to offer a platform for division and radicalization, which is why I have decided to make a clear statement after our two successful international matches. At the same time, I will not allow myself to be insulted and denigrated as an Islamist. That’s why I decided to present a report“adds the German national team player.
“This is about propaganda and division; I will always defend myself resolutely against this. I hope this clarification helps clear up misunderstandings and bring the truth to light. I also want to thank the DFB, who supported me at all times in this matter“he concluded.
What is the ISIS finger?
The “ISIS finger” is the gesture used by Islamic State militants, in which they use their raised index finger as a symbol of their cause. It is a symbol of power and victory.
According to Reichelt, the ISIS finger gesture “has been adopted by terrorists over the last two decades. It has become indisputably the salute of ISIS and Islamist murderers around the world, of people who also murdered in Berlin and bring disaster and immeasurable suffering to the world.
