No I don't agree with parents educating their kids on all religons, that does not make any sense at all, I'm sure most Hindu parents only teach Hinduism to their kids because that is what they would like them to be.
Islamic kids in the middle east and other parts of the world are basically taught to hate other religons particularly above all Chistianity and Judaeism.
If you educate your children on religon it should only be the faith you follow, if you are educating them about every religon, you may as well admit to being an aethiest, as they have no clear resolution on what exactly is God and why we should worship him. |
Children are not the property of the parents, to be moulded as they see fit. The parents are responsible for bringing up their children to the best of their ability, and unless you are from some backwater community that doesn't know anything of other religions, that includes educating them on other religions and cultures.
In the city I come from, Middlesbrough, there is an area called South Bank, that is dominated by muslims, about 6000 of them. And they don't spout the crap you sguuest they do. When I went to Turkey the Muslims I met there were the friendliest people I have ever met. So don't stereotype a people purely on your Fox News education.
