Rilek1Corner was informed of an incident that occur recently.

A Muslim brother who goes by the name Terawis Al-Shahid Ashraff had posted on Facebook that someone he knew wore #SaveGaza #FreeGaza T-Shirt to a mosque to perform his Terawih prayer in the evening.

Just like any Muslim, that Muslim brother was merely showing support for the oppressed state of Palestine, and he sympathised with innocent victims killed by the Israeli forces.

Unfortunately, that Muslim brother was told to remove the T-shirt by an unnamed ISD officer.

Furious, Terawis Al-Shahid Ashraff then asked what is MUIS take on this issue.

Earlier this week, another Muslim brother Gulam Yusuf who is a freelance worker in the oil trade industry, had hung a Palestinian flag — which was emblazoned with the word “free” — to spread awareness of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, notably the “mass killing of innocent civilians”.

Gulam who stays in Sims Drive, took the flag down after he was advised by the police.

Has anyone experienced a similar encounter too?
