And consider that your child says he/she is very happy and peaceful with that... Would you try to change his/her mind?
Why / Why not?

No, I wouldn't be worried at all. The Islam religion is very self disciplined ans put great value on morals.
Personally I believe the important thing at the end of the day is that you were a good person in your time here on earth.
Islam is one of the ways that will keep you on the straight and narrow.
Just to be clear, I am not a follower of Islam. ;)

No, I wouldn't be worried. My daughter has studied many types of religions, and she is a very headstrong girl. She told me how the Islam people are very peaceful, against war, and that most people have a misrepresentation of them because of the minority that are terrorists. She doesn't practice religion now, but I wouldn't be surprised if she converts to Islam somewhere in the near future. I would be happy for her.

I would trust that I raised my children to think for themselves. If they chose to follow Islam I would bite my tongue and smile. I wouldn't try to change their mind because they couldn't change mine. I would humbly respect that decision in order to maintain a relationship with my child. However while they live under my roof and are under 18 they will do no such thing.

NO, because at least your child is something to believe in. I think that religion has gotten a bad wrap lately. Most of the people I know who are of that faith are very disciplined and tolerant of others. So know I would not be worried if my child were to choose that road.

Yes i would be worried and need to discuss the subject with my child and from which hopefully tell if he believes all he knows or is just repeating brainwashing techniques

I'm surprised at alot of the answers, I had expected to hear terms like "hell" (oh, it was already said), "suicide bomber" etc. So I am pleasantly surprised.
For myself, when I converted to Islam I worried about how my family would react. I was so nervous to tell them. They weren't that affected by it and my mom told me as long as I am happy, she's happy for me. There are only two things that they do not like about me being a Muslim: wearing a headscarf and not eating pork, lol!
Lol @ Beavis' answer!

No I would not be worried and I would not try to get them to change their minds.
I have friends who are Muslim, and before I was married I myself dated Muslim men. My friends are very peaceful people who want to live life here like anyone else.
What you see on television is an extreme and ALL religions have them.

My children wouldn't convert to islam. Islam isn't the truth from God. My children know the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord.

everybody has right to choose their belief. Religion is an individual affair. Let your child chooses what he/she believes.

i think that i would be happy with it. because if the child is happy then i shouldn't try to change anything. if i was really concerned then i would first find out more about the religion before i try to change his/her mind.
