I gave candidates the option to teach me something, if they wanted to.

As you can see from the examples I gave, what they taught me was completely up to them.

It was just a fun exercise that I and every candidate enjoyed.

Forgive me, but I just don't see the problem here.

If you did decide to teach you something about the Quran, that would be great!

I don't know enough about these holy books, and I always welcome a chance to learn more.

There is no problem. But some people will create problems out of thin air, when there is none.

100% true.

Completely unrelated, but I find that other people will create problems by making an off-colour statement, something mildly offensive, or disrespectful and then when they get a reaction they say "why are you making a problem where none exists".

DARVO/gaslighting behaviour, and I wish it was rarer than it is.
