One user expressed their anger by mentioning how infuriating the video was because of the amount of disrespect portrayed by the preacher in the video.
Another user questioned what was the whole motive of the story and mentioned what the preacher did was “downright ignorant“.
Another group of Twitter users decided to point out the tone and volume of the preacher’s voice during the sermon.
“Also, I still don’t understand why preachers that do sermons would always shout when they obviously already have a microphone. So loud ??”
According to a few Twitter comments, this preacher has been reprimanded a few times by other preachers due to other controversial issues.
It was also confirmed by Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Kedah (JHEAIK), the preacher does not have an official teaching credential, especially to conduct sermons.
