A company catering to Muslims has denied links to a militant group despite selling flags resembling those of the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (Isis).

Singapore's Today Online reported that Albenyahya Enterprise, a firm registered on the island as well as Malaysia, has filed a police report against those accusing it of extremism.

“We are currently not selling the flags any more, it was just a one-off thing due to customer requests,” Albenyahya's owner, Syed Mohammad Faisal BenYahya, told the daily yesterday.

Faisal, in a posting on the company's Facebook page, which has since been removed, had pleaded for customers’ understanding on the matter, denying that he supported terrorism.

“Upon legal advice, to protect my name, my family and my business, I have made a police report with regard to this incident," Today Online quoted him as saying.

The daily also said an Instagram post by the company three weeks ago showed the products were in stock and priced at S$17 (RM43) each.

The republic's Islamic Religious Council or Muis was quoted as saying that sermons on the danger of Isis were delivered during Friday prayers in Singaporean mosques.

Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs also reminded the public to ensure their family and friends were not influenced by extremist ideas.

“Isis has enlisted foreign fighters, including those from our region, to fight alongside the group and this has raised the threat of terrorism to Singapore. The authorities are monitoring the situation closely,” a ministry official was quoted as saying.

It was reported earlier that Isis, which is active in Syria and Iraq, had recruited scores of Malaysians and Singaporeans among its thousands of foreign fighters. – September 4, 2014.

Local company which sold flags associated with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terror group has come under scrutiny.

The owner of Albenyahya Enterprise admitted ordering about 20 such flags in July, during the month of Ramadan, to sell at a bazaar. The leftovers were offered through the company's Facebook page.

When online sites highlighted this in reports, company owner Syed Mohammad Faisal filed a police report to complain about "baseless accusations" that his company had links with terrorism. By yesterday afternoon, he had taken down his company's Facebook page.

"I didn't anticipate such a reaction. The most important thing is for me to protect my family," said the sole breadwinner, whose company sells Islamic wear and trinkets. He did not realise selling the flags would be such a big deal.

Asked about the incident last night, Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim urged Singaporeans to stay away from symbols which could be associated with ISIS, which is also known as Islamic State (IS).

"The question you must ask is, why would you want to support a movement that promotes mass killing, the murder of innocent lives?" he said after a post-National Day Rally dialogue organised by self-help group Mendaki and government feedback unit Reach.

"It is totally irresponsible of them and I do not think we should condone this at all."

Dr Fanar Haddad, a research fellow from the Middle East Institute at the National University of Singapore, said that the black flag features a common declaration of faith used by Muslims.

But the specific font and design have been associated with the terror group which is trying to establish an Islamic caliphate in Iraq and Syria.

The group has been blamed for numerous atrocities, including the beheading of foreign journalists. "While the IS certainly did not invent the black flag, they have appropriated it as their brand - very successfully, I must add," said Dr Haddad.

Buying their flag is comparable to football fans buying team jerseys to show their support and solidarity, said Mr Muhammad Saiful Alam Shah Sudiman, associate research fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) said in response to queries from The Straits Times: "Muis would like to reiterate that the acts of IS tarnish the Islamic faith and image of Muslims in general."

The Ministry of Home Affairs added in a statement: "The IS has enlisted foreign fighters, including those from our region, to fight alongside the group, and this has raised the threat of terrorism to Singapore.

"The authorities are monitoring the situation closely. Singaporeans can also play a part by preventing their family and friends from becoming radicalised and unknowingly drawn into the violence."

Bullshit to the max.

The police should investigate him and also those who ordered the flags through him - an excellent chance to flush out the rats.
