Muslim Council calls on people to leave their bitterness behind and pray for country. FMTNews MuslimCouncilOfHongKong Mosque

Bystanders look at Kowloon Mosque a day after it was sprayed with blue-dyed water by police riot-control vehicle.

“It was unnecessary to drag this place of worship into this conflict between the government and the people,” Arabi Mohideen, 60, said after attending dawn prayers at the mosque in the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui district. Lam’s apology on Monday further underscored the sensitivity, and was accepted by worshippers, who lamented being caught up in the unrest.

South Asians, who hail from Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh, comprise about 1% of Hong Kong’s population, according to 2016 census figures.
