They're just being taught what's in the book that is the word of Allah, perfectly transcribed by Muhammad from the mouth of Gabriel.

People make a lot of assumptions about Islam compared with Christianity and Judaism — particularly that it's more inherently violent. But do people really know what they're talking about, or are they simplifying complicated belief systems to make a political point?
The team at Dit Is Normaal decided to put this to the test in the Netherlands, where they're based. So they disguised a Bible as a Quran, read verses from the Bible (such as "You will have to cut off her hand"), and asked people for their thoughts. People by and large reacted with a lot of "othering" of Muslims — making remarks like, "If you've been raised with this book and these kinds of thoughts, it's going to influence the way you think."
Then they found out the verses came from the Bible, not the Quran. They were shocked. "It's all just prejudice, really. I always try not to be prejudiced myself, but apparently I already am," one person said. Another person added, "Of course I've heard Bible stories when I was young, and I went to a Christian school, but I really had no idea this was in there."
