Abu Treika booked for ‘Sympathize with Gaza’

Posted on By 3arabawy

Bravo Abu Treika!

Egypt’s Muhammad Aboutreika has been warned by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for displaying a slogan in support of Gaza at the African Nations Cup finals in Ghana.Aboutreika lifted his strip to reveal a tee-shirt with the slogan ‘Sympathize with Gaza’ as he celebrated scoring in the 3-0 win over Sudan in Friday’s Group C match in Kumasi.
The midfielder was booked for his actions.
CAF officials said Aboutreika had been warned after the incident for breaching regulations by displaying political slogans, although his statement appeared to be more humanitarian than political.
Aboutreika’s action came on the same day as clashes between Palestinian residents, seeking to break the blockade of Gaza, and Egyptian police.
The incident was reminiscent of the 2006 diplomatic bust-up after a Ghanaian player triumphantly raised the Israeli flag to celebrate a World Cup victory.
Defender John Paintsil was never reprimanded.

  6. Abu treika. All Arabs and Muslims support you. This action has many meanings the most important one is that no matter how many embasseys are opened in egypt, no matter if the israeili peace ideology is trying to be implemented in the arabic mentalities, the arabic blood will still lead its holders to the right, the hearts of arabs and muslims still beat by what our culture and nature had always been. I also here say FREE GAZA

  7. Hello all,
    I want to suggest that T-shirts identical to the one worn by Egypt’s Muhammad Aboutreika be produced and sold world-wide. I’m sure that are many Muslims here in Canada who would buy one.

    All the money can be send to people in Gaza.

    Write to me at dhoud_in_palestine@yahoo.com if you think it’s a good idea.

    Salaam,
    David/Daoud
