MQ, your 99.9 claim is wrong, I've studied in a Muslim school and I can put my money on my claim that 90% of parents don't even know how to explain why we do the most basic things we do without threatening. My point is not to insult Islam, I'd rather want us to understand that we need to follow a different approach. Islam is a beautiful religion and can be preached with love and respect. Our inability to understand and peacefully discuss Islam is disturbing.
"This is not true.A very few ,and I mean few people teach religion that way."
Wrong, else you wouldn't see so my ppl jumping up and down upon every tiny borderline query on Islam, and still failing to understand what the original question was about. My observation is based on one Muslim school, one mosque I went to and two mosques my bother is going to. Kids can not contradict as adults can so any mullah should be able to counter that. What do you think they can ask at most? Why do I have to wear scarf? Is that too difficult for a learned person to answer to, given that he's talking to a child?
"Prayer is the ultimate line of communication between you and God"
Why can't you explain this to a child? Apply Santa Claus terminology if you have hard time being creative with kids.
MM, I wasn't expecting you to either, want me to help or are you okay without the added knowledge?
