Religion in Education

[bschanding]

Hello,

I was just wondering what everyone thinks about religion being a part of basic public school education in Kurdistan. Is it currently a required part of school to discuss/learn things related to Islam? Is it also a part of college/university education? Or is religion strictly separated from school?

I don't know about public but I know that some private schools have american teachers that involve religion into the teaching. And it has happened that students have been converted.

I think it should be voluentary and taught like western european schools. If your going to have religious studies, teach all religons then. Britain though makes religious sutdies complusory for some reason.

excuse me but WHAT???
Why should student be converted??? That's a discrimination!
If they want to teach religion in schools they should teach about all the religions. Our new generation should be open minded and should know more about other cultures and religions.

in the netherlands the schools can decide for themselves, but I think that religion is also taught in secondary schools in kurdistan, I am not sure though, but i think it is

Religious missionary propaganda is really old school. Using this tragic incident as a tool to spread the Christian propaganda really is an ugly trick. They need to do their missionary somewhere else. Religion has done no good for us Kurds.
This american missionary got shot by a kurdish student and I think this kurdish boy who shot him was the only one who didn't become christian while all the others in the class did.

Why does KRG allow missionary? They should be expelled we dont want more divisions in our society. Im not religious but we really dont want more religions that will cause problems in the future. That bastard who got shot deserved it with his sneaky devil plans.
