I do not ascribe to ANY organized religion. But remain open-minded/respectful to all of them. My 11 yr old stepdaughter is Muslim and from another country. She/ her brothers moved in with us (brothers are 18+ Yrs Old ). All are judgemental of American culture, other religions, people who drink, etc. The other day SD saw a calander w/the holiday Hanukkah on it and asked is school out. I said “I don’t think so. Still, it's an important Jewish Holiday a…” right then she abruptly cut me off and barked “I don’t want to know what THEIR holiday is about!” Another time I see a 6ft tall, pink Christmas tree. She loves pink and drew Christmas trees at school once. I said “Wow look at this tree ___! Isn’t it…”again I was cut off as she snapped, “I don’t like anything to do with Christmas so, I don't need to look at it." Husband says he doesn't care what she says to "non-muslims" including me. Blatant intolerance of others religions/cultures I find revolting & her nasty tone w/me--not OK. Ideas?
