“One of the reasons I withdrew my daughter from an Islamic school was because she came home one day and walked past me and her mother without showing the usual respect we had taught her.

When I asked what was wr0ng, she said her Islamic teacher had told them that kneeling down to greet their parents was a sin and that any child who did so would go to h&llf!r£.

At that moment, I knew I had a serious problem because that was a r£d fl@g. I took her back to the school and confronted the teacher.

The response was simply, ‘Sorry, that’s what the religion says.’ To me, that was a clear sign of a culture being taken away from our children. I am a Muslim and a proud Yoruba man.

Respect for elders is a core part of our culture, and anything that seeks to erase that value is unacceptable to me.

Religion should not d£str0y culture. It should help people become better human beings while preserving the good values of their society...”
