[quote]Assalaamu Alaikum,

In my opinion, it is not about which way of schooling is rightand which is wrong; it is about which is best. Naure and nurture, genetics and environment work together to form the clid through different stages of development. Muslims in any counrty canbe corrupt if they choose to be, just like any person from any religionor non-religion can be corrupt if they so choose.
I am not sure to whom you refer, Renee, with your post. First, we live in the same country and i am happy you are no longer a racist. Also, welcome to Islam sister. We do have the freedom to practice any religion and non-religion we choose. I am not sure i understnad exactly what you want to say by "don't bite the hand that feeds you." This nation we live in is not the issue to me. My issue is the public education system. This is not an issue soley about the west versus Islam. I don't see where anyone "put the west down" but you can correct me if i am wrong. Many muslims, if not the slight majority, in the west are African American Muslims, whom your "righteous" forefathers enslaved for centuries. So why would you say "the majority of muslims in the west don't have to live in the west"?, unless you are only referring to Muslim immigrants. This country is a country of immigrants from the whitest to the darkest, from Chirstian to Msulim, etc. I am sure the indigenous population in our country thinks the same abotu all of us-none of us have to live here. But that is beside the education issue. No one and nothing can corrupt someone unless they allow it. Since i grew up in private and public school surrounded by many good and bad things, i turned out well and have done well. My edcuation is still in progress mashaAllah, and i am sure we all want better for our children. I will choose to give my children more opportunites in every way than I had. Even if i lived in Morocco with my husband, we would still need to decide how best to educate our childrne within that society, because just being ina muslim society does not release resposibility for helping to nurture and mold an upstanding, educated muslim child.
Also, getting rid of the american superiority complex would be beneficial in making your points more credible and less abrasive. And,YES, the truth does stand out against falsehood.[/quote]
