"Did you know that the name of Mohammed Salah has no points because he donated it to his team Liverpool to stay on top, God on your morals, the pride of the Arabs."
If you are a follower of social networking sites, such phrases have inevitably come to you, in reference to praise of everything that is issued - or probably does not - by the Egyptian football star and Liverpool FC Mohammed Salah.
Thus Salah became "the pride of the Arabs". Whether or not the phrase is used as an expression of fascination or humor, it has become a "trend" in the language of social networking sites, or "cliché" in the language of cinema or journalism.
Note that the word Salah is pronounced in English (Salah - Salah) and reminds us of prayer |
Certainly, Salah has achieved a global football success, pointing out that he may not have reached an Arab player before. Even comparing him to the current football legend Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi does not stop, and it is interesting to see Salah among the winners of the international awards.
The Egyptian star publishes the list of search results on Google's 2018 search engine in Egypt for the second year. Salah's Twitter account follows more than 7.5 million followers, his account on Instagram is 22 million, followed by more than 11 million followers on Facebook.
Novelty and exaggeration
But the phrase "God is on your morals, the pride of the Arabs" turned into comic material to shed light on what some saw as an exaggeration in praising Salah.

At the level of Liverpool, praise has never been missed by Salah, who has long been a favorite of the club's fans.

The symbol of pride is lost
Sociologists say people are always looking for a legend or symbol from their countrymen, tribe, or religion to be proud of.
And because the Arabs are not at their best after having lost their intellectual, political and scientific symbols, or almost, they have only to be proud of the "pride of the Arabs" Mohammed Salah.
Certainly, the great country or the great nation is still born and able to have more great and distinguished people, not only in sport, but in all walks of life.
