Singapore detains Daesh promoter
[Gulf Today] Singapore said on Friday it has detained an Australia-based Singaporean who allegedly glorified Daesh. Zulfikar Mohamad Shariff is being held under the Internal Security Act for being a threat to national security, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a statement.

"Zulfikar has made use of social media to propagate and spread his radical messages," the statement said in announcing his arrest this month.

Zulfikar's posts led to the radicalization of two other Singaporeans, a businessman and a security guard, the ministry said.

Zulfikar moved to Australia with his family in 2002. It is not clear why he returned to Singapore.

Zulfikar had also been supportive of terror groups like Al-Qaeda and its Southeast Asian affiliate Jemaah Islamiyah, according to the ministry. In Australia, he joined the Hizbut Tahrir while keeping in contact with radical imams and making "numerous Facebook postings glorifying and promoting the Daesh group," it added.

He set up a Facebook page called Al-Makhazin Singapore which he used as a platform to "agitate on Muslim issues" with a "real agenda" to replace Singapore's government with a Daesh state.

Following recent terror strikes worldwide, Singapore's leaders have renewed warnings that an attack on the country, is not a matter of if but when.
