I don’t believe that an education in Islam, the Koran and the ways of Muslims is entirely necessary unless you’re planning on the possibility of someday having to resort to maintaining the appearance of being a devout enough Muslim to avoid having your head cut off by an Islamic extremist.
The men in my family's previous generation - older uncles, cousins, etc. fought in WWII. (my Father just missed it, went to Korea instead) Whenever the subject came up, they talked about how they would never, ever trust the Japanese, any of them. Male, female, civilian, military, political, companies, etc. Peal Harbor and the atrocities of the war were too burned into their psyche to ever forgive or trust.
I never really understood that, until 9/12/01. Now, I get it, and I feel exactly the same way about Islam and every single Muslim out there. Zero trust, zero respect. There is not a damn thing any of them, nor anyone else, can do or say that will ever change that for me.
