America is a Christian society. Iran is a Muslim society. Religion is not a language or a skill required for employment or survival, and therefore should never be taught in schools for any reason other than historical purposes.

My kids are to lazy to even read the Bible let alone the Quran. I'm not too worried.

I know what you meant. What I was referring to was even an electoral option. It should be left out of school completely. If kids want that option, they can opt to do so at non-school functions. There are plenty of opportunities, but they won't be taken advantage of because people today, especially kids, don't read.

if someone WANTED to read it as an elective wtf is the big deal?
who are you to tell someone else how to live there life?

I believe you are actually trying to say that Christian Imperialists have killed FAR more people than Muslim Imperialists.

Even when it's stated that way, experts argue that Muslim Empires (e.g. Ottoman, Mughal, Arab, Umayyad, etc.) were far more deadly through the ages than Christian ones.

We all do when we pay for it through tax dollars and our children usually do not have a choice as to which school they can attend for good reason. Kids in grade school are typically under the age of 18, and parents have the ultimate legal say in what they are allowed to learn. Because the information may conflict with parents' and siblings' family values and beliefs, you can clearly see why this type of material should not be allowed as an option when it can obviously contradict other values instilled in students.

Now if this was a college we are talking about, by all means go for it.

I don't see a problem with it being an elective. Americans who are not informed would be the only ones afraid. I have taken time to actually learn about Islam at the local Da'Wah Center, and I must say there were more anglo's present than anything else. Islam just like Christianity has multiple faces to it. Its the society that makes either one a "terrorist" or "zionist" worship. Many of the people present were former christian converts, who open the Qua'ran and became interested. You will always assume if you don't research.

Knowledge is power only when there is discipline in the quest for it.
