"MUIS condemns video of Singaporean Islamic State fighter executing man

SINGAPORE: The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) on Monday (Jan 1) condemned the latest propaganda video by the Islamic State (IS) featuring Singaporean militant Megat Shahdan Abdul Samad. 

According to local reports, Shahdan was seen in the eight-minute video with two other fighters in military fatigues, executing three men by shooting them. 

The clip also shows bombings and vehicle attacks. Before the executions, Shahdan is seen speaking in English, telling IS followers to "slay the enemies of Allah wherever you can find them". 

In response to the latest video, MUIS said it was a "desperate attempt" by IS to recruit individuals to "cause carnage" and "sow discord between Muslims and non-Muslims". 

The Singaporean fighter, who calls himself Abu 'Uqayl, also appeared in an IS video in September. In the 3min 30s clip, he was seen loading artillery shells onto a military truck and calling for people to join IS. 

MUIS had also condemned the earlier video and stressed that it has maintained its position "unequivocally"."

For this Sgp guy, bet his 1st day of 2018, though not sure when the video n the alleged execution took place, must b pretty happy he made the propaganda video again.

There is simply no excuse of a fellow human being killing another just because the other person has a different religion.

It is absolutely critical that MUIS denounced this unequivocally. Without any reservation. 

It is vital that Sgp brand of multi religious society living in Peace n harmony b defended with firm resolution n quickness.

The gov can act quickly n firmly with the people's support as there exist a clear understanding that allowing extremism in religion WILL bring this ideal state of religious peace n harmony down.

An awful 1st day of 2018 to read this as a headline. Yet comforting that while odd people might had strayed n got lost; the religious authority n the gov r on top of the situation. With the people's full understanding n support. 

Peace n harmony for Sgp we must defend!!
