While on stage to accept the FIFA World Cup trophy

While on stage to accept the FIFA World Cup trophy, Leo Messi was draped in a black cloak, or “bisht,” by Qatar’s Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

To no surprise to those following the Islamophobic media coverage of the event, this ceremony triggered racist and derogatory comments from Western pundits and journalists. Criticism ranged from comparing the traditional garment to a “barber’s cape” to lamenting that it covered the player’s jersey during a “magic moment.”

But, for the hosts of the region’s first World Cup, the gifting of the bisht is a symbolic part of Arab culture to honor guests. The name is derived from the Akkadian word “bishtu,” which means “nobility” or “prestige.” The Amir of Qatar personally draping the garment on Messi is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a civilian in the country.

By mocking and belittling a symbol of honor and reverence, these commentators are exposing the extent of their ignorance and their anti-Arab/Islamophobic views.

Although they will not be progressing to the final

Although they will not be progressing to the finals, we wanted to congratulate the Moroccan national team on making history as the first African nation to ever make it to the FIFA World Cup semi-finals. They won the hearts of Muslims everywhere by playing admirably and displaying their faith unapologetically. We wish them the best of luck in the third place play-off game.

#Morocco and #France are facing off right now in a historic #WorldCup match. Morocco has already defeated #Portugal and #Spain to make it this far. Do you think they will knock out one more colonizer and advance to the finals?

Congrats to team Morocco on becoming the first African and Arab country to advance to the World Cup semi finals! 🇲🇦🏆

Congratulations to Team Morocco on being the only

Congratulations to Team Morocco on being the only Muslim-majority country to advance to this year's Round of 8 at the FIFA World Cup 🇲🇦 This is the first time in the country's history that Morocco has made it to the quarter finals. Morocco is the first Arab country to advance to the Round of 8 and the first African finalists to reach the quarter-finals since Ghana did it in 2010. A historic moment in the first World Cup hosted in a Muslim-majority and Arab country in the Middle East! And fittingly, as they do with every victory, the team ended their penalty kick victory by prostrating to Allah (swt).

With the United States qualifying for the next rou

With the United States qualifying for the next round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, 20-year-old Yunus Musah, a midfielder on the U.S. National Men's Soccer Team, is a Muslim player you should keep your eye on.

Born in the U.S. to Ghanaian parents, Musah grew up in Italy before moving again with his family to England, making him eligible to represent England, Ghana, Italy and the United States in the World Cup. He officially committed to the USMNT on March 15, 2021.

Musah speaks four languages. He is, in his own words, “Black,” “African,” “American,” “Muslim,” “Italian,” “English,” “an immigrant” and “a citizen of the world.” And in addition to all of those identities, wherever he has gone, he has been a brilliant footballer.

Growing up, Yunus looked up to his parents. Amina and Ibrahim’s own journey inspired him, as they had immigrated from Ghana to Italy for a better life. “They’re definitely my biggest role models,” Yunus says.

Their household values hard work, kindness, and putting God first. They are deeply devoted Muslims. Yunus especially enjoyed his mom’s cooking to break the Ramadan fast at sunset. He was amazed to see so many Ghanaian people in his mom’s shop; so many who shared his culture in one place. A place where he could feel comforted. Supported.

As we watch the U.S. progress in the World Cup, we congratulate them on their qualification and wish Yunus Musah, who turned 20 on November 11th, a happy belated birthday!
