Re: Raising Muslim kids in the West.
My children are 7 and 3. The oldest learns the quran from a hafiz and I ask him to spend a few minutes on the meaning of what he learnt too.He also goes to Sunday school to learan Islamiayt. I try to instill little things everyday like do the "dua before eating",leaving the house etc.Teach him about what things make Allah happy and I also make it point to mingle with desi families alot so my children can learn that we are not the only "odd ones out"who live like this!! Hopefully having muslim freinds as well will help them to stay on the right part as they grow older. That said,they also have non muslim friends, and I am not totally paranoid about "the others who live out there". Not all goras are peoplewillloose morals and they also can teach us a lot esp civic sense and manners which sadly enough most desis lack even though its a part of Islam.
We also keep a check which shows they watch on TV but are not paranoid about it.
