The reaction from the masjid committee was mind boggling. 'What is the need of teaching all this?' they said 'A masjid should only do salah, jumuah bayans and tableegh from TJ' Other committee members accused the organisers of teaching the people too much Islam (??!!??) and made comments such as 'you are only interested in promoting yourself' (even though no names were given to the public). Other committee members mocked the efforts saying 'no-one will turn up' (The turnout was huge, 2-3 times what was expected), ‘You want to impart knowledge in modern ways’ . Other silly actions such as ripping the posters off the noticeboard, refusing to open the building early etc. hindered everything.
