National player Antonio Rüdiger is linked to ISIS over allegations of accusations. The Tauhid gesture corresponds to the Christian ritual of the cross for 1,400 years. But he became vulnerable.
julian Reichelt has stepped up his game after the German footballer Antonio Rudiger had filed a criminal complaint against the former editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Bild” for insults, slander and instigation and had the support of the German Football Federation. Reichelt accused the two of “intimidation methods” and reiterated his original criticism of the photo Rüdiger posted on Instagram on March 11. He accused practicing Muslim Rüdiger of having spread a symbol with which terrorists around the world celebrated his murders.
Anyone who poses like this in public “consciously shows a fanatic greeting and not an innocent, spiritual gesture,” says Reichelt, who now works for a right-wing populist online portal. After all, this gesture was “in the last two decades of Terrorists been completely absorbed.” For this reason, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and its state offices “interpreted the raised finger as a sign of Islamist radicalization,” says Reichelt.
