Social media users have accused the director of a nursery in Qatar for writing racist comments against Muslims and non-whites in general on Twitter.
The Twitter account attributed to the owner of a British nursery was deleted, but some Twitter users in Qatar called on the Ministry of Education to intervene. They also called on the Ministry of Interior to investigate what he wrote and charge him, and to close the nursery permanently.
The official Twitter account of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education monitored what was written by the account attributed to the nursery owner, and confirmed that the incident had been referred for investigation by the competent authorities.
The ministry wrote, "The note has been referred to the competent authority for verification, we thank you for your follow-up."
The tweets contained racist expressions against Muslims and against Indian citizens in general. On one occasion, the account holder commented on the news of the clashes that took place in Sweden after a politician from the far-right burned a copy of the Holy Quran, and demanded the account attributed to the owner of the nursery to expel Muslims from Sweden.
In another tweet, he said that Muslims should never be trusted. In a third tweet, he liked someone else's comment saying that Britain belongs to the British and that no Briton likes to see Indians on the streets of Birmingham.
