    Seriously why are muslims being openly targeted in the west? It’s like muslims are the new jews. Had there even been a time where Europe didn’t have a favorite pass time-punching bag group of people?

      well deadly Islamic terrorism in Europe hasn‘t really helped to ease relationships, I think that should be obvious.

    This is getting ridiculous lol. Benzema is an Algerian Muslim, of course he is going to support Palestine but what does it have to do with his achievements on the field? He had an amazing season and deserved that ballon d’Or whether he supports Palestine or Israel.

      The Ballon d’Or thing is insignificant. Accusing Benzema of having connections with Muslim Brotherhood is a much more serious accusation. And to say that he’ll withdraw the accusation if he tweets xyz thing I want just shows you the current situation in France. It is despicable from this guy. That he is a minister just makes the situation even more ridiculous.

        It has nothing to do with the ballon d’or or his football ability at all. Not sure why you think that

          I was responding to OP who brought up the BdO thing. My comment literally downplays the BdO thing.

          As for OP, they are most likely conflating it with the statements made by Valerie Boyer who said Benzema’s BdO should be stripped.

          in the west

          As opposed to? Please just one example, so we can all have a good laugh.

          Also TIL the actions of one western country reflect on all like 70 of them.

    It’s far-right politicians trying their best to « win » from this story and increase racism in France, because it’s from where they get their voters

      Far-right people don’t really need to try very hard to attract voters. Other side is doing their job for them.

      This particular case is clown show however, and it looks like the guy has personal vendetta against the dude.
