A curious yet uplifting image is doing the rounds on social media, after a solitary, unnamed man stood on the street outside a mosque in Australia over the weekend.
The man stood outside the entrance to Yarralumla Mosque on Friday, holding a DIY sign of solidarity that read "Fellow Australians, I apologise for the religious bigots in our society, gov't and media." Simple and effective.*

The man appeared just in time for those making their way to midday prayer. And the general consensus online is — legend!*
