French football star Nicolas Anelka has denied making an anti-Semitic gesture, known as the 'quenelle' after scoring a goal over the weekend. Muslim-convert Anelka claimed that the gesture he made was 'anti-establishment' and that he is 'not an anti-Semite or racist.' Former Real Madrid star Anelka added that salute he made was 'just a special dedication to my comedian friend Dieudonné.'
