Muslims have been ordered to withdraw their children from Catholic-run schools in protest at the church’s Hijab ban.Sheikh Mohammed Dor said the church’s action was provocative and could spark Muslim anger in the country.“From Monday, I would like all Muslims to withdraw their children from Catholic schools and take them elsewhere,” he declared.Addressing the faithful after Friday prayers in Mombasa, the cleric also urged parents to reject public schools, including non-Catholic ones, that prevented their children from wearing the Hijab.He warned that Muslims would rise against those opposing their religion’s fundamental principles if the government did not intervene quickly.Sheikh Dor said Muslim clerics will soon meet and discuss the matter before declaring a Fatwa (Islamic edict).Seeds of hatred“We shall not be intimidated any more and the government should stop acting as a referee between us and the Catholics who are pushing us to the wall,” he said.Sheikh Dor, who is also a nominated MP, warned that interference with fundamental Islamic principles was sowing seeds of hatred.The MP accused some Western governments of plotting to ban the Hijab in Kenyan schools in a bid to plunge the country into religious turmoil.Two months ago, Education PS Prof Karega Mutahi issued a circular to heads of public schools warning against punishing students wearing the Hijab.Prof Mutahi said the law does not allow children to be discriminated against because of their religious beliefs.The Catholic Church protested against the directive, saying it was not consulted and said it will not allow the Hijab.
