Islam at the Olympics > Poor Sport Muslim gets his comeuppance

 

Muslim Olympian refuses to shake Israeli’s hand after match,

screams ‘Allahu akbar,’ later suffers ignominious defeat

“Allahu akbar” means “Allah is greater,” but here the fantasies of superiority met reality.


Judo Olympian refuses to shake Israeli athlete’s hand

and shouted ‘Allahu Akhbar’

The JC, July 29, 2024:

A judo competitor representing Tajikistan refused to shake his Israeli opponent’s hand at the Paris Olympics and instead said “Allahu Akbar”.

Nurali Emomali later dislocated his arm in different fight, in an event, pro Israel supporters have described as “karma”.

Emomali, who won the match against Tohar Butbul, walked off the mat without making the respectful gesture to his Israeli opponent.

Instead, he chose to say “Allahu Akbar” while holding up a prayer symbol, known as the “Finger of Tawheed.”

The symbol refers to the Islamic belief that “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His prophet.”…

Which, apparently, he did not repeat after his next match. Karma? I don't think so!

Poor sports like Emomali should be tossed from the Games and suspended from the next games. It is completely contrary to the Games standards.
