Hypocrit Much..?

Please show me one christain school in this country who is teaching kids that it's ok to kill someone who offended your religion. I'm sorry, there is no comparisson between chritianity of today and terrorism. This isn't even close.

I think that the family has every right to be concerned for this child. He is not just learning that Christians are going to hell, he's being raised by his mother to be a radical Muslim terrorist. There is a major difference. Even the boys Muslim father is concerned. Now, with that said, there are many Christian homes that raise their children to be soldiers - to go out and fight (and kill) for their country - which in my opinion is not much different that Muslim children being raised as terrorists. Just because killing for the freedoms and protection of our country is legitimite in our own ethnocentric perspective as Westerners does not mean we're any better than terrorists who kill for God.

Teaching our children about the religion they were born in is not something wrong per se. while we all say politically correct things like ‘I’ll let me child choose whatever religion he wants once he’s 18…’ most parents want their kids to follow their religion coz religion is not only that …it’s a way of life, culture, tradition, family values…religion is an intrinsic part of our identity…even our names are more religious than secular e.g. if I am born a Hindu, I’ll take a Hindu name and not a ‘Christian’ name. so what this mother is doing is no different than what most mothers do worldwide….however, as parents its also our duty to see that religion does not consume the entire consciousness and conscience of our children and turn them into hate-mongers towards all those who are of different faith. Religion should be used to make good human beings, not for brainwashing normal kids into radical monsters who kill in the name of religion.

Their are some tenets of the seven accepted religions that are common to all people. Whether Christian, Judaism, Buddhist, Islamic, Hindu, Ba'haiu or the Ancient african mystery temples all teach the tenets of connection with the natural world of God and do on to others as we would have them do on to you. Islam in its core does not teach to hurt their fellow man but the diverted teaching and offshoot extremist do. It is also diverted by the context in which it was Islam was created. Muhammed was persecuted and founded a war movemengt to defend himself and the teachings he felt God had given him. Parents are human beings who teach on their fears and bias which is human. Bottom line as long as humans interpret the book there will be abuses.

Very frightening. Those claiming Christianity as their belief that teach hatred are just as reprehensible as what may be being taught to this little boy. I say may be being taught, because we don't really know, do we? The Bible doesn't teach "hell and damnation". It does explain the consequences of certain actions. But then, reading how to drive will outline the sorry consequences one can expect if they ignore street signs, go too fast, or drink and drive.

It is sad. God will send some hard lessons in time.They clearly can not truly understand what they are doing. As for the kids, all is not totally lost. Children do become more than the sum of their parent's teachings in time. It is sad to have your child start so far behind with hate.

Though I dont think that teaching your child that nonChristians are goin to hell to suffer for eternity is the same as what this psycho "mother" is doing I have to say that there are fundie Christians that DO teach violence and hate who are yes just as bad as this wingnut...IMO a fundie is a fundie is a fundie and regardless of what religion they belong to..they ALL teach intolerance, hatred and go to numerous lengths to hurt those who dont see, feel and believe as they do and its vile!

Hi tessah, I agree with you, she is only doing what other mothers and fathers are doing, teaching her child the way she has been taught to believe. I certainly don't agree with what she is teaching her child but neither do I agree with indoctrinating a child in any religious dogma, especially at a time when they are most susceptible to suggestion. The leaders of the various religions realized a long time ago that it was the children that they needed to get to because they are so impressionable. That is why religion remains so strong today. Blessings.
