The imam of the only mosque in Macau, Ding Shaojie, in an interview given to Lusa News Agency, expressed surprise at the inaction of the local population in relation to the war in Palestine, highlighting that the fear of retaliation may be limiting the protest actions of the Muslim community in the Special Administrative Region of China. The Islamic spiritual guide also admitted that, during the year that is now beginning, a new mosque could begin to be built in the territory, a city where he considers there is still a lot of ignorance about the Islam.
