A report published by the German channel "Welt" angered the tweeters and pioneers of social networking sites. It came about the way the Moroccan national team celebrated after the victory over Portugal in the quarter-finals of the World Cup Qatar 2022, as it linked the way they celebrated with the terrorist organization (ISIS).

The channel published a picture in which the players of the Moroccan national team, Abdel Hamid Al-Sabri, Zakaria Abu Khalil, and Elias Al-Shaer, showed their index fingers to the top, and linked them to pictures of the terrorist organization "ISIS", and the German broadcaster described that picture as "angry and provocative."

This report angered the tweeters and the pioneers of social networking sites, stressing that raising the index finger is a sign used by Muslims since ancient times, and it is a ceremonial reminder of God’s unity and affirmation of faith, and the strange thing about the channel is that what the Moroccan players did is the same as the celebration of a large number of football stars such as the phenomenon Ronaldo and Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who also raise their fingers to thank God for the goal.

The channel's broadcaster justified his report by raising the index finger as the same signal used by "Islamic State militants after their conquests," as he put it, indicating that he is not sure whether the "Atlas Lions" players mean to support "any terrorist organization" by using the "sign of unification." .

The TV channel report made the tweeting followers respond strongly, as one of the tweeters published a composite image of the three Moroccan players (Abdul Hamid Al-Sabri, Zakaria Abu Khilal, and Elias Al-Shaer) along with the two former Brazilian stars Ronaldo and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, as they celebrated scoring goals by raising the index finger and commented on his post, saying: : "The German Wallett channel claims that three Moroccan players use an international organization sign. It seems that (Brazilian) Ronaldo and (Cristiano) Ronaldo were also members of ISIS??! .. Racism and stupidity are a dangerous and frightening combination."
