Short Narrative
Nowadays, the perception to Muslim people is being dealt with kindness
unlike in the past. By the help of knowledge from the teachings of the school,
they do not introduce muslims as villains and bad people. Instead we learned to
respect their strong ties respecting their own religion, beliefs, culture and
traditions. They are still great people despite everything that happened from the
past. Muslim people deserve respect and acceptance from the society, and
treat them with no barriers and also not be feared.
