Mohammad Salah: Fans Chant "I'll be Muslim too"



"Mo Sa-la-la-la-lah, Mo Sa-la-la-la-lah, if he's good enough for you, he's good enough for me, if he scores another few, then I'll be Muslim too," Liverpool Fans sing in stadiums and pubs while watching Mohamed Salah demolishing opponents.

The rhyme continues: "He's sitting in the mosque, that's where I want to be."

Saleh, 25, Egypt and Liverpool's Forward, scored his 30th goal in a season in 5-0 victory against Porto in Champions League last-16 1st leg match.

Dubbed Egyptian Messi, in 2017, he was also named the BBC's African Footballer of the Year.


The chant seen as bridging gap between civilizations and tackling racism and Islamophobia, arouse a welcome response on social media.

"Mo Salah doing more to end the clash of civilisations than anyone else in the world," joked satirist Karl Sharro.

User @Femi_SB said: "Mo Salah is gonna stop Islamophobia."

"I'm not a Liverpool fan but you must believe Football builds bridges with this Red chant for Mo Salah," wrote Gbolahan Obisesan, a writer and director.

"Mo Salah is so good I'm considering turning Muslim #TheEgyptianKing" joked @bairdy_10.

"Mo Salah has turned me in to a devout Muslim catch me outside the mosque if you're looking for me," said @bradleymaguire_.
