Trabzonspor fans' chant for Egyptian footballer Muhammed Salah drew a harsh reaction from theologian İhsan Şenocak. Criticizing the "Allah Allah, Muhammed Salah" chant that the claret-blue fans say after Salah's goals, Şenocak argued that such expressions should not be used.
"TRABZON IS A LAND OF SCHOLARS"
In a post on his social media account, Şenocak emphasized Trabzon's religious identity and said, "What is Trabzon? It is a land of scholars, isn't it?" Criticizing the fans' chant for the footballer, Şenocak said:
"I say this as a person from Trabzon. In Trabzon, which takes its honor from Islam and faith, how can tens of thousands say 'Allah Allah, Mohamed Salah'? Where did you get this from?"
"PUT AN END TO THIS IMMEDIATELY"
Calling on the fans to stop the chant in question, Şenocak continued his statement: "Put an end to this immediately. You will bring Allah's wrath upon us. Calamity will come, misfortune will come."
