JAKARTA - The steps of the Singaporean authorities to expel Ustaz Abdul Somad (UAS) have a long tail. In addition to criticism, there are also Indonesian public who support this policy because of the track record of UAS.

One of the sharpest criticisms came from Member of Commission I DPR RI, Fadli Zon. According to Fadli, apart from insulting Indonesia, Singapore is considered not a friendly and Islamophobic country.

Fadli's criticism was clearly refuted. Without mentioning names, social media activist Permadi Arya alias Abu Janda emphasized that those who gave Singapore the stamp of Islamophobia did not go far enough.

"People who say Singapore is "Islamophobic" are people who don't have picnics, never go abroad, only picnics until the monas, that's why kudet ah," said Abu Janda via upload on his blue tick Instagram account @permadiaktivis2 reported Friday, May 20.

According to Abu Janda, Singapore is a country that strongly protects the freedom of worship of Muslims, so it is not appropriate to call it Islamophobia.

"Singapore forbids radical preachers from coming to their country. Instead, they want to protect the true teachings of Islam so that they don't be damaged by radical and intolerant Islamic teachings. So, bravo Singapore, Indonesia, when?" said Abu Janda.
