[quote][font=Arial]Asalaamu alikum wa rahmthula
I just went to a talk where the issue of mainstream schools and Islamic schools was discussed...i thought the key points maybe something for you to think about inshallah!...
One of the points made was that sending our children to Islamic schools (IS) creates more segregation and if we dont interact with the non-muslim community then we will continue to be alien to them. Our children can act as dawah in their schools- i know a few yopung people in their teens who have wanted to convert becuase they saw how their friends Islam was- i think this is a great way mashallah- most of us are influenced by the company we keep...
Also i personally think that if the parents instill the Islamic principles, etiquette and adhab in their children they can successfully integrate into mainstream education without compromising their Islam- althbough this is an ideal but inshallah can be achieved! It is important for us to be educated especially in our deen...what would be good is to have Islamic schools that followed the national curriculum but ensured time for prayers and concentrated on Islamic history, roots, education instead of the west where we are taught nothing but about world war 1 & 2 and Islam is a taboo. what i mean is that the base should be Islam and other national curiculum subjects should also be taught but with some link to Islam (hope that makes sense!)  Furthemore maybe the schools could be open to all so that non-muslims who were intersted could come too but that would need to be thought about i guess! anyway will leave you with those few points for now...jazak'Allah wasalaams[/font=Arial][/quote]
