Let’s put it this way.

Muslims don’t understand why Indian Hindus put a red dot on their forehead.
Muslims don’t understand why Chinese Taoists burn papers either.
Muslims don’t understand why Christians hang a crucifix on a chain either.

The Muslims don’t understand why. But the Muslims don’t question or insult it. They accept it as part of the practise of other faiths.
So, similarly.

Non-Muslim don’t have to understand why kalimah Allah or Prophet Muhammad printed on socks is sensitive. It’s fine if non-Muslims don’t understand why it is sensitive.
You just have to accept it and respect it, as how the Muslims accept that Indian Hindus putting a red on forehead, Chinese Taoists burning papers and Christians hanging a crucifix is not something to be insulted.

Simple right?

Worse is non-Muslim leaders kononnya speaking up for non-Muslims and telling Muslims to chill. This one I cannot.

It’s like a Muslim company printing Buddha or Jesus face on a carpet, and then Muslim leaders tell Buddhists Christians to chill 🤯 You see how oxymoronic that is?

The thing is, the store doesn't do it on purpose, and no one in their right mind especially a business owner wants to make fun of the sacred kalimah. It's a QC problem from KK mart. I too am not happy with the issue. But what I can't stand is the mob justice. Like they've already apologized publicly, what else do you want them to do? Do you want them to go bankrupt? Is it even aligned with the teachings to see many perish and lose their jobs for something that's not intentional?

It is Ramadan. Why don't we all just be forgiving toward each other instead of harboring more hatred towards one another? That's the best dakwah a Muslim can do to attract unbelievers in my view.

I agree with you that KK should 100% be more careful and be sensitive towards Muslims (and all religions for that matter), especially when your largest market are from that particular demographic.  This is very bad business protocol. Finding such socks in your inventory is pretty bad.

However, my stand is that there is still much confusion as to who the culprits are. Let PDRM investigate. once the investigation is completed, and should the situation escalate into a criminal suit, then we should also look at the evidence tendered, submissions from the prosecution and defence, and draw our conclusions from findings of the court.

In the interim, I think we should all reserve our comments. This applies to both sides (boycotters and penyokong alike). Stop saying things that will cause racial tension and friction.

This being said, I'm also a supporter of free market practice. If you think that boycotting is the best decision for you, after taking into consideration, factors such as your beliefs, opinions, price, and etc, go ahead and boycott. There are other options anyway (some may be better, some may be worse, so do your due diligence).

On the other side, for those who think that you don't want to boycott, by all means, continue your support.

Let's stop insulting each other's race, religion, beliefs and opinions just because of a couple pair of socks.

Also, politicians, please fucking behave yourselves. Especially those from the "unity" government.

Errr you can print Budda or Jesus face on a carpet or underwear too... nobody really care.
Just nobody will buy.

Better you go and educate your own race on not going overboard (like want it close down or arson), sudah sorry dan apa mau lagi ? Extremism is a more critical issue than sensitivity.
