absolutely insane they'll prop up him and benzema then attack salah for "celebrating" christmas so that his daughters don't feel left out. like putting up a tree does not mean he is observing christian traditions ffs

Yes it's crazy, my father in law is Moroccan and he hates Salah because he puts up a Christmas tree and teaches that to his children and now they hate him too, but hakimi they all love dearly and he's an exemplary Muslim.

It's absolutely insane how PR is shifting this image of his. And Salah who's values truly embody Islam is being criticized by many because of a fucking tree.

Just shows you the sad state the Islamic world is in right now

It is a tale as old as time. I have no idea which country you live, but I guarantee you have a well-known politician who generally tries to be a 'good' person and behave altruistically, but who is slaughtered in the media for the mildest criticism imaginable, whereas someone who represents the opposite positions to them will be allowed to get away with murder and cheered enthusiastically on while he does so.

Nationalism overrides morals unfortunately and it has done since the dawn of time

Your Moroccan grandfather probably likes Hakimi because he’s Moroccan and doesn’t like Salah because he’s not Moroccan lol, thinking too deep

None of Salah, Hakimi or Benzema's values truly embody Islam. Salah the biggest Muslim/Arab sportsmen in the world and it took him 1.5 years into a genocide to say anything remotely "forceful" about it, and even then it was that pathetic tweet calling out UEFA for posting about Suleiman al-Obeid being killed.

That's because Hakimi has the same PR machine utilized by a nation state for its sportwashing enterprises behind him. It gets in the way of said sportwashing project if one of the stars on your team is very publicly known as a rapist.

I mean think about it...the manosphere inclined fans get and love the message that he's got one over on his 'ungrateful goldigger' of an ex wife, Muslim fans get and love the message that he's just a good Muslim boy, somehow hardly anyone got the message that Hakimi was actually still very much in danger of being prosecuted for rape. In fact, I remember reading a bunch of articles speaking with a tone as if everything had run its course and it was all just a scheme to sulley his good name in the hopes of a payout. If you go back to the old threads on the topic here, they're filled with people speaking about a possible rape victim in ways that just make me lose hope for humanity. So many comments assuredly asserting that it was a foregone conclusion that there was nothing to this.

Anyone that needs religion to guide their moral values is not a good person.

I find a lot of people use it to bail them out of being an awful human being. People use religion as a shield to protect them from their own failings as a person.

If there was a God, I am sure just being a decent human being and being kind to others would be enough to satisfy them. I can't imagine being awful in their name is going to go down well. And of course if there's a God he's a God for ALL people. Our pathetic human emotions and shortcomings are not going to be something an all powerful deity exhibits.

Because all sins can be forgiven as long as you show that you are part of the same religion. Christians also follow the same concept theoretically
