Can lack of education in general schools for the Muslim children be attributed to their growing fanaticism ?

Answer 1

Fanaticism is the cumulative result of many factors like upbringing, the environment, the survival instinct and the narrow religious ideas and teachings. If right from the childhood they mingle with children from other faiths they might grow up with broader outlook. Then exposure in the formative stage of life to the world out side ones own community also helps.

Answer 2

There are a lot of reasons for growing fanaticism amongst Muslim children. I will say that schools in some countries actually encourage anti-American sentiment. They have children singing songs about the death of America. It's all propaganda. But this is not the MAIN reason for Islamic fanaticism (nor a major one, as it is mostly tangetial). And it certainly isn't a major part of the problem. You can research the coup of the democratic Iran in 1953. This event helped fuel anti American sentiment and helped usher into power the Adolf Hitler of Islam; the Ayatollah Khomeini. He reinstitutionalized the radical islamic fundamentalism as a state doctrine and reinstated old school Islamic law. After he attained power anti American sentiment coupled with Radical Islamic fundamentalism spread RAPIDLY across the Middle East. The creation and protection of Israel is helping spread fanaticism. The insistance of America to build military bases in what Muslims consider holy land also contributed to their growing fanaticism (it is actually THE reason Osama Bin Laden issued a fatwa against America). And the most recent bit of the puzzle is the Iraq war. There wasn't a drastic increase in terrorist recruiting during the war in Afghanistan. But, after we started the war in Iraq they had a new rallying cry. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 and posed no immediate threat the the U.S., yet we insisted on going in there. That looks like an American occupation to people that already didn't trust us. Muslims have been indoctrinated to hate America and the schools help slightly in that accord (I would say very slightly). But the schools are not even close to being a major cause for their growing fanaticism.

Answer 3

As a general rule, ignorant people are easier to control. In many places in the world, Muslim governments have systematically dismembered existing education structures and replaced them with Islamic schools, where the primary study is the Koran, and the primary method is memorize and repeat.

Analysis is not taught, and questions are discouraged.

Students who have this as their primary influence - and in many Islamic countries, children spend much more time in school than at home, and parents do not dare contradict anything the child "learns" in school - grow up with a singular point of view, and within that, have been trained to be very responsive and obedience to the Islamic teachers.

That's not the only factor - but it is certainly one of them.

Answer 4

How do you figure that out. The classes in public schools are attended by all children, not only Muslims so teaching is imparted to all equally.

Answer 5

Not a lack thereof.
The kind of education. Martyrdom is taught.
Children are taught to die for Allah.
Males get 72 virgins. I don't know what they will do with them with their penises rotted away.
What do the virgins get? A peniless man?

Answer 6

yip education is the key. Thats why in these islamic countries all they are taught is the koran so thats all they know.Adults in they countries must be on par with 6 year olds in the western world.

Answer 7

yes you should report the school to the district if they are doing so as you say because everyone need an education no matter the religion i think those people are playing racisim. thats what i honestly think!!!

Answer 8

not at all, school is not the only influence, family life too plays a big part, my b/f is muslim and told me about a lot of bad temptations his other friends got into,he didnt because he learnt from an early age at home from parent.aunties,uncles about right/wrong etc

Answer 9

No. Their religion is something they don't learn in school. It's due to people following each other like sheep instead of thinking for themselves...which you see in all religions.
