They should be brought to this kind of school,” Hataman said. The newly built Islamic school is located in the coastal barangay (village) of Buli-Buli, the town center of Sumisip south of Basilan. “This is not a simple school, but also a reformation center in Sumisip,” Hataman said. Abdulmuhmin Alyakanie Mujahid, vice chairman of the Basilan Ulama Council, said they welcome the establishment of the new facility, adding that this will boost the ulamas’ campaign to stop the spread of extremism and radicalism. The purpose is to gather more than 1,000 Ustadz across the island province to talk about the curriculum and module that will be used in their teachings,” Hataman said.
