Newlyweds desecrate Israeli flag on wedding day

Mohd Hilmi Muslim and his bride Norfadhilah Mohd Badroldin, both 27-year-old architects, did it because they felt very sad in seeing Muslims suffer, especially the women and children who were victims of the Zionist regime.

Mohd Hilmi said as a Muslim, he strongly objects to such inhumane acts carried by the Israelis.

"Alhamdulillah, I am thankful that the wedding ceremony went smoothly and we get to express our disappointment and grief towards the violence at the hands of Israel in Gaza. As Muslims, we strongly object and condemn the act," he said.

Meanwhile, Norfadhilah said the terrorist state deserved to be insulted in that manner, even if it's just a show of protest show by stepping on a flag.

"They deserve to be treated that way and they deserve to be insulted. As a larger state, they shouldn't oppress the Palestinians, who are obviously innocent. We stand by them (the Palestinians) even if it's just by desecrating the Israeli flag," she said.

The wedding ceremony began around 2pm where both the bride and groom were paraded to their house in Kampung Umbai, Jasin.

The couple then trampled on the Israeli flag and burned it before entering the house.
