Summary
Muslims are advised not to be easily drawn into provocations or negative perceptions spread by those hostile to Islam, and to remain calm, rational and wise. Dissatisfaction should still be voiced collectively, but in a harmonious manner rather than with counter-provocation. Muslims should also avoid extreme behaviour that damages the image of Islam, and continue da'wah and campaigns presenting Islam as a religion of peace through social media.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Umat Islam seharusnya tidak mudah termakan dan terjebak dengan sebarang provokasi atau persepsi buruk yang dimainkan oleh musuh-musuh Islam terhadap agama Islam.
