[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 492178, member: 3493"] I have always found Buddhism interesting but I enjoy being Jewish too much to explore anything else except as an intellectual curiousity. When you take him to the mosque, does he interact and get religious instruction? I have studied some Islam and believe it to be, in its true form, a beautiful religion. There is much to be said about raising him in accordance with his family's beliefs, especially since it seems that your Buddhist ideals can be integrated into the Islamic principles he will learn. I am still leaning towards the city for you and J with summers in Morocco till he's old enough to decide where he wants to study. Slightly off topic, but one of the saddest stories I know is that of a friend of mine, here in the US, who chose to raise her children as Catholics rather than in her own Muslim faith because she was afraid of how they would be treated. Meanwhile, their Catholic father beat her, cheated on her and finally left her and never saw the children (that's the good part of the story). She still continued their Catholic instruction. [/QUOTE]
