You know, when I was a child, my mom dressed up in a salwar kameez and came to school with me and talked a little bit about Hindu culture. We weren’t pushing our religion! To a roomful of Christians? It just makes the kids a little bit more culturally sensitive. It makes them aware that there are other ways to live.
I knew about Catholicism and Christianity from an early age. I am immersed in it for heaven’s sakes! It was nice to get a chance to share a little of my culture.
I had lots of Muslim friends. Some of them were innocent young girls. I hope their daughters are not being abused or picked on or tormented just because they happened to be born Muslim.
