The love of PIGS

Hareem, you know surprisingly, I too have seen families where parents tell their kids that so and so uncle is really bad, don’t talk to him, and list details of their wrong doings, kids do learn to dislike people. They learn lying and cheating and backbiting from how they see their parents deal with other people. It’s more common in our society that we can even imagine.

There’s this 6 year old girl that studies Qur’an with my daughter and one day she was telling my daughter how such and such aunty was a meanie and that she “hates” her because her mommy said that the aunty is “cunning.”

I think that is what Sara was probably trying to say.

^ u said things that i didnt evne know i was trying to say.. thanku
and if anyone thinks its such a false statement..they’re livign in a dreamworld. There are parents who will teach thier kids that westerners are evil, certain family members are no good, certain ethnic groups are to be avoided etc. i hope its only the minority and not the majority, but fact is they do exist.

And while were on the subject of hatred/animals, few days ago i read in the paper about a couple of kids who stomped on a cat and lit it on fire. As expected, the response was pretty horrified, from even “non-PETA” members asking these people be treated the same.

Okay, I understand now.
Hatred towards a particular race or religion involves other factors like norms of society, culture etc thus can’t always blame parents for it. I grew up hating Indians because it is the norm in Pakistan but eventually grew out of it.
