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!
