[QUOTE="Malika, post: 492204, member: 11227"] Lol, svengandhi, Buddhism is FULL of Jewish people! Jew-Buhs... :) I have a Buddhist friend in Canada, originally Jewish, who sends her son to "Jewish school" to connect him with that part of his heritage and culture... And J goes to what we call "Arabic school" at the mosque - it's rather tedious as far as I can make out, the children just repeating sentences about Islam by rote and colouring various pictures illustrating the life and festivals of a Muslim. They don't teach the prayers until a child is around seven so he doesn't actually go to the mosque as such yet. There are always two ways of seeing a religious path... from the "bottom", fundamental level in which the rules and creeds are primordial - always involving rejection of other people and their ways of seeing the truth - and from a higher level, in which one sees something more essential and other religious paths are not threatening or mistaken... If I would like anything for J, I would like him to have this larger view of Islam. But I don't think you teach that with your words... I think you teach it with your life, with your actions. That's the difficult bit :) [/QUOTE]
