The world doesn't seem keen on giving Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah a break - from intentional acts of violence to judgments on the player's personal choices...
On Sunday, one Kuwaiti cleric said that Salah's injury during the 2018 Champions League final in Kiev was a "punishment from God for breaking his Ramadan fast early."
In a series of tweets shared on May 27, Mubarak al-Bathali explains that Salah is being punished by God for breaking his fast for a football game and not for travel purposes, which is not a "legitimate reason" in his opinion.
"He broke his fast intentionally"
"The fact that Mo Salah broke his fast for the sake of playing football and not for travel purposes. Thus, he broke his fast intentionally."
"Life is in the hands of God"
"The footballer Mohamed Salah decided to play for Liverpool without fasting, God punished him. No reasonable man, especially not a Muslim, believes life is managed by reason and effort. Life is in the hands of God. May God guide you, Mohamed Salah, and perhaps the injury is good for you."
Backlash followed
Many couldn't help but LOL
"The preacher does not understand"
"He can simply make up for it after Ramadan"
Valid questions were raised
"OK, sheikh ... Muslim footballer Karim Benzema also broke his fast ... so how did the game work in his favor?"
Al-Bathali believes Salah was punished during the game, but hundreds of thousands of people think Ramos is the one who should be punished.
Following Salah's heartbreaking injury on Saturday, an online petition demanding Ramos be punished by football authorities surfaced.
It has since amassed nearly half a million signatures at the time of writing.
On Saturday, the 25-year-old footballer, who scored 44 goals in all competitions for Liverpool this season, left the field with ligament damage in his shoulder following a controversial challenge involving Real Madrid captain and defender, Sergio Ramos.
