Answer 1

I would encourage it, when I have children I don't want them to have a limited worldview. I will also encourage studying other religions and cultures...

Answer 2

Well right now my kids are out mowing lawns with the African American kids from up the street. I suppose they'll even *gasp* stop in here to play XBOX when they're finished. Imagine, allowing someone of a different color *and* religion into my house.

We ordered a pizza last night and the deliveryman was not only gay, but from the Pentecostal Holiness church three blocks up the street. Yes, we ate the pizza.

Only the most bigoted people would keep their children shrouded from the world. Diversity is best.

Answer 3

Yes, my daughter plays with children of other races-- in fact, as a white child, she by far in the minority at her school. I don't interrogate the parents of her friends on their religious beliefs, sexual orientation, etc. I don't want my child to grow up sheltered from the real world. What purpose does this serve?

"Lay" with Muslims? Are you asking would I allow her to marry a Muslim? She can marry whomever she wants; I don't think I'll have much control over that. I just want her to marry a good man. Oh... maybe you mean PLAY with Muslims. LOL... Again, I'm not concerned with her or my friends' relgious beliefs.

Answer 4

Yes, if they bring them back in one piece. Joke. I would love to and I let my kids play with children of different walks. It is one of the best ways to stop racism.
I would stop it immediately if I would find out that some parents are trying to convert my kids. One couple did. So I told their kid that religion was about the same as fairy tales.

There is one sound that is the same all over the world: children playing in a schoolyard. We can learn a lot from them.

Have nice day.

Answer 5

I'm a Christian and there are a lot of Mormon's in our neighborhood. I let my son play with them. I let him know the differences between our religions.

I would do the same with Muslims. I do this because this is the model Jesus gave. He hung out with all kinds of people. I want my son to be like that.

I do have a fear that our son would be influenced to believe incorrectly. That's why I let him know the differences and why I think the way I do. He's going to believe what he believes though and I can't force him to accept my beliefs.

Answer 6

Yes, of course I would. I don't have children, otherwise they would certainly play with children of different backgrounds :-)

It's even hard to say why, I mean this is just natural to me. To me, telling my kids not to play with kids of other races or religions would be just like telling them they should not play with kids whose names start with A or who live in a house with an even street number. In short, it would be just totally absurd.

The only exception would be if they were fanatic for some religion, I mean if they would start to somehow attack my children for not believing the same as they do. But in that case I guess my kids would anyway not want to play with them.

Answer 7

of course I would- it has nothing to do with race, or religion, or "different walks of life". I am concerned about how moral the families are though. I would want to protect my children from people that would harm them- however I would never keep them from other religious family/friends. Actually we are Christian, and one of my daughter's best friends, was a Muslim, unfortunately he died suddenly a year ago, and to this day, he has a special place in my daughter's heart.

Answer 8

You know... it just doesn't matter. If they are good people and they have standards and morals that are in line with mine, then fine. There was a girl down the street that my then 8 year old daughter went to her sleep over. They went to church and went to AWANAs, yet these parents let them watch Mean Girls! No more play dates over there. Next door neighbor... Wiccan. 2 daughters, slightly older than my two, but they all played together so well! Delightful girls, wonderful mom, their oldest one was often our babysitter.

Now, did I let my girls attend Vacation Bible School with our dearest friends? No.... love the family to death, their daughter is our babysitter, we've known each other for 8 years. But what they will be teaching this week during VBS goes way against what we believe.

Muslim... again, just doesn't matter! As long as they are kids and they are playing and having a good time, let them play!! And, you know what, if my girls ask a question about your faith, answer them.... don't try to say who is right and who is wrong, but just answer them. It's good for them to learn new things!! (learn, not indoctrinate. VBS is indoctrination)

Answer 9

If/When I have children, I will definitely encourage them to play with children of other races, religions, economic backgrounds, etc. This is the best way for them to see that "different" doesn't mean wrong or bad, to learn tolerance and understanding, to make up their own minds about people instead of having the prejudices of others make it for them.

Answer 10

I see no colors when it comes to the human race. I respect all and their beliefs and I had no problem allowing my child(she is 24 now) playing with others. The only problem I had with some of her friends as a child is that they seemed really bossy and did not know how to share which to me was strange being I had an only child(and she shared and was not bossy) and most of her friends had siblings. And then as she got older her friends would try and make her do things that she deemed wrong and would come tell me about it and then I would advise her as to what to do.

Answer 11

Sure! I grew up that way, and if I have kids I'll insist on them growing up in a diverse community just as I did.

Why would I have a problem with them playing with Muslim children specifically?
