Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil took to social media to share a poem supporting a terrorist organization called 'Turkistan Islamic Party'.
It is worth noting that the flag Ozil used in the Tweet is the flag of the Turkistan Islamic Party who is widely regarded as a terrorist organization in the world.
The Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) or Turkistan Islamic Movement (TIM) is considered broadly as a terrorist group by China, United Kingdom and many others countries.
TIP's terrorist activities in Xinjiang, China, have caused great harm to the country.
Arsenal Football Club haven't made any declarations on Ozil's message until now.
All Football do not support any form of terrorism and strongly condemn this kind of terrorism-related behavior.

hmmm! instead of football discussion, people are now discussing terrorism. the true of the matter is terrorism is a bad thing and it is unacceptable in Islam. since people who claimed to know better cannot distinguished Islam from terrorism, let them do what pleases them. so whether you like it or not Islam means peace, a stands for peace, and it will always teach and preach peace.

Its just funny to me how people treat the same issue so differently. TIP is a terrorism group and its confirmed by United Kindom itself. Google it for yourself, United nation has declare its status as a terrorist group. But some biased people just don't want to look at the truth just becasue its related to China. Imagine a guy supporting ISIS publicly what happends to him? Imagine Ozil supports a terrorist who killed your friends and families in your own country, what would you say? As a human being, I seriously condemn Ozil's behavior and its not tolerable in any sense, and shame on you people who overlook facts just to twist the truth.

I can't be too sure how authentic this report is , but for someone to publish here on All Football, it means he , group or she has verified or has facts supporting this claim , however, am still finding it difficult to believe Ozil , being a public figure of his caliber, can't do such thing , nevertheless, if it's proven beyond reasonable doubt , then , i have nothing to say , but try to understand why he did it , despite his status as a footballer, and not a politician, the relationship between his feelings and that of those people concerned who may have been marginalized politically , this is a very delicate issue , and need proper handling ..

Freedom of speech also has a red line, which is not an excuse for you to interfere in the sovereignty and internal affairs of other countries and promote violence! In view of Ozil's public support for "East Turkistan", we resolutely resist! Your behavior has seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people. As a Chinese, we should resolutely boycott and protest against this kind of behavior whenever and wherever we go.

Hello guys! I would like to post a comment here because I saw many friendly and objective comments in All Football App. I am a student from Xinjiang China who is now studying in US. I use the Chinese version All Football app. Xinjiang is a place where is beautiful, diverse and safe NOW! There are 55 nationalities living their and the major are Uyghurs, Han（Major Chinese），Kazak， Mongolian and many many other people. We all recognize we are Chinese. I am not a Muslim but I have to say this organization is a radical Muslim organization like KKK to Christian. They killed ten thousands of people and caused many booms and other terrorist incident in my hometown even in many other city in China. Something really happened near to me and you cannot feel the feeling that as a kid I couldn’t go out to play for whole month and every time my father and neighbors brought weapons out to buy food. That was in 2009 and on 7.5 200 people died in Urumqi. So I have to say that most of the Muslims here hate the people that Ozil supported. The things that western medias talked about are not true. My uncle worked in the camp which you talked about. He taught them medical knowledge to become a nurse. In southern part of XinJiang, people were really poor and the young generation even could not read and write. You guys cannot imagine how poor they are because your living in developed country. I support CCP because they help them get out of poverty. It had been almost 3 years that Xinjiang have not happened any terrorist accident. My muslim friends and I all support our team in my city Urumqi. We are now in the second league in China. Hope u guys can know the truth. Peace!

Hey guys, I’m not a Muslim but I really love you guys. I have a lot of Muslim friends and they meant a lot to me. But what Özil has supported was just something else. It was recognized by the UN as terrorists since 2002, and it has conducted tons of terrorists acts such as burning its own followers and killing innocent citizens. Please check the facts before you blindly support it. I understand people’s feelings about Muslims and the Chinese, but I’ll say this is way too extreme.

Muslims are certainly not terrorism, but terrorism always wants to use religion to expand its influence. I just graduated from university and went to xinjiang to work on poverty eradication. The people there are very friendly. I don't deny that there are still many problems to be solved in xinjiang, such as environment, education, medical care and so on, but that's why we have to go there to work, in order to make xinjiang better, in order to make our motherland better. But there are always some western media talking shit when we are working hard. Isn't it illegal to spread rumors in the west? No investigation, no right to speak.

I M MUSLIM BUT I M NOT A TERRORISTS....... AF don't post this type of Statement it has nothing to do with Ur AF app.....if Ozil do such kind of act than there is law I think in this app there is no need of making any kind of chaos🧐🧐🧐
the statement never mention all Muslim are terrorists, but Muslim guys are too sensitive. China is facing very serious terrorism and making great efforts to prevent all citizens including Muslim people from the TMP's terrorist activities, if you don't think what China does is true, you can see the video https://youtu.be/UT57tZrqWDQ you can do the judgment that wether ozil supports a terrorist party or not after watching it.

So u supoort the china government muslim detention camps where millions of uighurs are being held without trial? Forced to leave their religion for freedom? Have their organs taken from them while alive? These camps that ozil has highlighted have been reported by international journalists and the UN. You support these detention camps?
hey guy ，if u have time you can come to xinjiang China to watch,the TIP are terroist.U say Chinese government is bad,I think u can watch the movie in CGTN.The life of the minorities in xinjiang is not as oppressed as you say,I think you can come to China and have a look instead of being misled by news like the BBC.No one knows China better than the Chinese
