Thank you to those of you who were getting what I was trying to say.

While some parents may make the decision to shelther their children from other religions and cultures, I think it is a mark of good parenting to have faith enough in your own ability to instill the difference between right and wrong to allow your child to open thier minds to the world around them.

I myself was Adolf Hitler in my eighth grade book fair. I dressed like him for a week, read books about him, watched all the film of his speeches, with english subtitles. My parents allowed and even encouraged me to do so because it instilled in me a true horror of what he did and what he taught and what he stood for. They knew that learning about the Nazi regime would not turn me into a Nazi. Rather, it educated me about the importance of acceptance and tolerance.

But hey. That's just me.

But whatever a parent chooses, I don't think any person has any right to get on the air and say ignorant things like "all muslims are murderers". Because then parents who may have allowed their children to see those other religions before start believing that OHMYGOD, ALL MUSLIMS ARE MURDERERS, MUST SHELTER CHILDREN... and then the vicious cycle continues, because the kids hear from their parents about the evil muslims who want to destroy us all (even me)...
