@hareem01

Send your boys to proms and send your girls to Islamic schools.

you got it :k: let the sons have normal, decent lives and shelter hte daughters so much so that they are socially awkward, with almost zero self-esteem is destroyed as well as possibly their faith. thats the desi way to raise children.

@Mirch

Islam has different standards and different code of conducts and different roles for men and women. Does it not ?

wow, so boys ARE allowed to have female friends/girlfriends, hang out late at night, go out with freinds and even get a secular education. But girsl are completely forbidden from mixing into the society or even having normal education?

@Mirch

• How should we raise our children?
• Should we speak two languages at home or one?

hopefully my child will be exposed to 3: perfect Urdu (from their dadkay), perfect english (out in the world) and gibberish (their mamma).

• Teach them both religions?

Islam and… Islam? Sure

• Should we give them names acceptable to both cultures or names typical of one or the other? If so, which one?

ah..i wanna give em nice, different names.
