If I observed someone doing something that I think is wrong, I don’t see a harm in discussing that with them. May be they’ll agree with me, maybe I’ll realise I was wrong, may be we won’t agree at all and continue doing our thing. But it shouldn’t be an issue of omg how dare you point it out to me. Forget about issues where differences in opinion exist such as female imams or whatever. What about other things that are quite straight forward e.g. how to do sajdah. As far as I know there’s only one way of doing sajdah correctly and if someone isn’t doing it properly, I’d point it out. Wouldn’t you?

No, I wouldn’t unless I have studied all the methods of prayers.

Coming back to the topic:

You see, we Muslim haven’t learned our manners yet, we CANNOT talk peacefully. The woman has been receiving death threats from fellow muslims for leading a prayer.

If you feel it’s not right to pray in her imamat then don’t, I have seen people don’t like praying behind a shia or even a sunni with different school, it’s not really a big deal but Muslims, as usual, have made a mount out of mole-hill.
