To say that Islam is too complicated or to fragmented and therefore kids should be isolated from any information about what it stands for and what its adherents think and do, is madness pure and simple. It's why we always accuse "Americans" (not all of them, obviously, just the stereotype) of being so ignorant, barely knowing that there are other cultures worth speaking of beyond their border, while their government throws bombs on them.
Well first of all I was questioning your reasoning behind the point you made rather than the point itself when I said Islam is fractured and their cultures are different.
Your main point was people should learn about islam and part of your reasoning behind this is that half of the world bases their life on Islam. My point is how could you teach people what Islam is when islamic scholars don't agree what Islam is? You might be able to cover some things without offending any specific sect, just the basics
And I think there's difference between isolating kids from information about Islam and not forcing people to pay via tax to learn about Islam .
And once you decide to force people to pay to learn about Islam then that's being prejudice against all other religions because you you will be isolating children from info about the other religions
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
