Many of us have been observing Muslims from the so-called Traditional Muslims Schools in Uganda (e.g. Kibuli Muslim Secondary School, Gombe Muslim Secondary School and Kawempe Muslim Secondary School etc) who are not mindful of the Muslim religion faith.

Many people have seen good Muslim girls and boys who later turn into Christians (born again Christians), Rastas and or join other un-Islamic groups when they get to universities or they grow old.

The Supreme Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Zubair Kayongo thinks the cause of this trend is ignorance of some Muslim youth about Islam.

He says that much as some Muslim school environment can maintain the faith of the Muslim students, it does not prepare them for the outer environment in which these students will live when they grow old.

So once these Muslim students are out of schools, they are bombarded with a lot of information- which they can not comprehend given their narrow understanding of Islam.

It is because of this that many Muslim students are overwhelmed and end up either compromising their religion or getting annihilated into other beliefs especially born again Christian faith.
