(ANSA) – ISLAMABAD, NOVEMBER 03 – Pakistani tennis star Aisam Ul Haq Qureshi will wear a white bracelet during the upcoming Rolex Paris Masters in France as a form of “peaceful protest” over President Macron’s statement “against the Prophet Muhammad. “.
In a message posted on her official Twitter account, Aisam Ul Haq urged other athletes to wear white armbands to raise awareness that “as athletes we do not respect people and countries that do not respect other religions.”
In his audio message on Twitter he said: “The most valuable lesson I have learned as an athlete and tennis player is to respect the religion, culture and beliefs of all – he said in the audio message – Freedom of expression does not mean being the enemy from no one”. disrespect for someone’s religion and faith. This week I am in France where I am playing the Rolex Paris Masters and it is very sad and disappointing for me to see that a head of state encourages and approves of this kind of behavior that people allowed to make fun of Islam and the Prophet. These cartoons are not the result of provocations because Islam only preaches a message of peace, love and respect towards all the prophets. “
“I will wear a white armband – says the tennis player – in a peaceful protest throughout this week against President Macron’s statement and” I encourage not only Muslim athletes – says the tennis player – but also athletes from all over the world who they respect all religions to show solidarity, unity by wearing the white sash ”(ANSA).
