JAKARTA - The actions of two German national team players, Antonio Rudiger and Ilkay Gundogan, drew criticism from netizens. This relates to their pose with the team ahead of the match against Japan on Wednesday, November 23.
Prior to that match, Rudiger and Gundogan took a photo with their teammates in a controversial phase. Der Panzer's players took a photo with a mouth shut pose.
The pose is known to be a form of protest aimed at FIFA over the ban on the use of the rainbow armband 'One Love'. The German national team became one of the countries that insisted on wearing the captain's armband as an LGBT-friendly campaign at the 2022 World Cup.
The action then drew criticism from netizens on social media, but the most striking thing was criticism of Rudiger and Gundogan. Netizens were disappointed with the two of them who took part in the same action.
Even though it is known that Rudiger and Gundogan are Muslims. Their actions are considered not to reflect a devout Islam.
"It's embarrassing. Even though you yourself said that you are a Muslim but you support LGBT. I unfollow you," said the account owner @omar*******ou in the comments column for Rudiger's latest upload on Instagram.
Are you Muslim? Why do you support (the rainbow emoji of the LGBT symbol) reading a lot of Al-Quran, pal," said @erian*****y on Rudiger's account.
You should be ashamed. You shouldn't call yourself a Muslim. Allah forgive me: 'You actually approach a man rather than a woman (you) to satisfy your lust. The fact is that you are people who go beyond the limits.' Al-Araf (81)," said another netizen in Gundogan's comments column.
"Ilkay you have to learn Islam which is actually my God, don't forget to see you," commented the account owner @esl_*** in Gundogan's comment column.
