Islamic Community reacts to religious nursery in Skopje

In the Gazi Baba district of the Cair municipality in Skopje, a kindergarten called “Bleta” teaches children and religious rituals. Denoncing such teaching was initially done on social networks. Alsat M inspected this garden. We learned [...]
According to information provided under anonymous circumstances, we learned that it is about a garden that functions at least since 2014. Sources add that garden education is not only oriented by the religious pattern but is taught in foreign languages, physical activities, and entertainment.
However, a kindergarten called “Bleta” with an address in Skopje does not figure either on the public or private garden lists. The Ministry of Labour and Social Policy has undertaken inspections to verify whether the garden is registered, who stands behind it, what is official activity and on what grounds violates the Constitutional provisions of the secular state.
So far, we have no official response from field inspections. From the Carir Community, where gardening is promoted, says that such an educational institution is not known.
I estimate that it should not be speeded up in this case and talk about hypothetical situations, but the issue must be verified and passed to the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, which has full competence, the Office of the Chair Community.
The Islamic Religious Community on the other hand condemns such actions. BFI's first Sulejman Rexhepi emphasises that religious gardens in Macedonia are not allowed and that such an action will fight it institutionally, Alsat-M writes.
Without our consent, no one can do it, and no one can think of it. We do not allow our unconscious children to infect us. As much information and education as poisoning can be. I guarantee and tell them that with all my organs we are unanimously opposed, Sulejman Rexhepi, chairman of the BFI, said.
Video material and photos published days ago on social networking describe the activities of small children in the garden. Between instruction and activities, children also learn Islamic rituals, such as prayers, prayers, rituals, and the singing of the surah from the holy Koran book.
Reference to the country's Constitution, Macedonia is a secular state, while religious teaching is not allowed in pre-school parallels and elementary schools.
