Muslim father is praised for his actions after he found out his daughter's Islamic teacher was teaching her to hate other branches of Islam

Image
A Muslim father has been praised by Twitter users after he narrated what he did when he found out from his daughter that her Islamic teacher had been teaching her to hate other branches of Islam. Hamma Hayatu said his daughter told him that her Mallam had taught them that Shia and Darika Muslims are Arna (infidels). So he took her out of the Islamic school because he doesn't want his kids being taught hate and intolerance. He was praised by social media users for taking steps to end such indoctrination. However, some told him he hadn't done enough and said he should have confronted the Mallam because the Mallam will continue teaching other kids the same things.  The post Muslim father is praised for his actions after he found out his daughter's Islamic teacher was teaching her to hate other branches of Islam appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog .
