Yes.
In Muslim society, the parents responsibility to to ensure proper training and education with Islamic fundamentals. The better the school - the more Islamic instruction - the more Islamic instruction...well...the more opportunity for extreme "discussion".
To discount this type of school would bring shame to the family...maybe even worse...someone could get hurt.
This is why you have Muslims in America that won't stand and be heard when they protest terrorism.
And this is also why you hear American soldiers say that we should NUKE Iran, Iraq, Palestine...and let their own people rebuild. They are radically savage about their religious beliefs...
they torture TO DEATH those that even so much as speak out against their form of politics...so...stop watching the news and start supporting US troops in everything they do.
- but good luck trying to suggest to a Muslim parent they they should take better care in picking schools and friends... |

Of course it is, the vast majority would be doing so anyway.
What about other types of extremist? Should white middle class parents watch their children to ensure they don't become fascists, militant animal rights protesters, support George and Tony's global slaughter plan?
Should practicing Christian parents be told to watch out in case their children are turning to Christian fundamentalism?
No, no, no.
You question is desgned to deliberatly inflame hatred by targetting a section of the population by their belief not by their actions. |

Should it make a difference if they are muslim or not?? Parents should always keep their eyes on their children anyway....... |
|

ALL parents, not just Muslim parents, should keep and eye on there brats...i mean children, and they should take action if necessary. |

Every parent should supervise his or her children. That's reasonable for everyone.
Your second question makes me think the matter is more complicated than kids at play, though.
As long as the children are still minors and we're talking about the USA, then it's an obligation for the parents to keep the children out of trouble.
The fact that the parents know about the children's conduct means they can prevent it, so if something happens, they are negligent and can be sued. |

yes its nice, no parent wants their child to be an extremists, if the parents take care of their children, love them, educate them, then the whole world would be a peaceful place to live in.... |

That is the job for all parents no matter what faith. It is our job to bring them up to be solid citizens no matter what country they come from. Unfortunately to many parents leave the job of raising there child to every one but themselves ,schools, daycare, churches.It is our job not theirs to raise our children. |

all parents need to keep an eye on their kids regardless of religion |

I think it is reasonable to ask ALL parents, regardless of faith, to keep any eye on their children and the duty of all British Citizens to report anyone they genuinely fear to be involved with any form of terrorism or crime.
I know the current climate is quite volatile towards muslims and I think MOST of them are perfectly innocent of supporting extremism. But I do worry about those that think they can take over this country. If they so love their religion and way of life etc., then that is fine - but don't try to change BRITAIN. As the Aussies said, they are welcome in our country but they are also free to leave if they don't like our way of life.
What right do they have to want to dominate the world? And is this only a muslim thing or could it possibly be a MALE thing? |

As a muslim parent myself I do keep an eye on my children, and I will definitely TALK to them should I fear they are becoming more extreme.
HOWEVER I would think, as a person regardless of my background, I will not be comfortable taking instructions from people that are not doing it reasonably such as putting myself and my family and my religion under the microscope and keep finding faults.
Have you ever had any muslim neighbor? My non-muslim neighbor next door once commented to me that my family is one of the most caring and sharing neighbor their entire life.. |

It shouldn't be necessary and is discriminatory to single out Muslims in this way. Every parent has a responsibility to bring their children up properly and this includes keeping an eye on what they are doing and who they are involved with. The same applies to non-Muslims whose kids get into trouble with the law. |

It isn't the parents who put the VERY SMALL minority of Muslim youths on a route onto terrorism, but fundamentalist peers filled with hate and I personally do not accept as Muslims. |

I have always been under the impression that Muslims. Are much more strict with there children than we in the USA are. |
|

No it is not unreasonable. It is perfectly acceptable to ask parents to be responsible for their own children. |
|

I don't it is at all unreasonable to ask ANYand ALL parents to keep an eye on their children at all times and for all reasons. |
|

Do you think it fair to ask any parents of any faith to make sure their children become responsible citizens within the country they live in. It's called parental responsibility. |

not in the slightest |

No but its if they believe you or not some people can't see any wrong in their children [sad fact] and take their word over everyone Else's until it is to late. Do what you think is best. |

No. All parents should keep an eye on their children. We shouldn't judge kids based on their race and/or religion. |
|

it is advisable to keep an eye so that kids dont get involved in any illegal activity. |
|

It's probably unreasonable to single out muslim parents for this action. Why not all parents? Did you see Sleeper Cell? Half the terrorists were white! |
|

Not unreasonable at all. If they all kept an eye on what their children were doing at any age we may not all be so affraid of going out these days.. |

Only if we ask Christian parents to do the same...after all, Christian extremists have caused more death death in the world over the past 1700 years than every other group...religious or otherwise...put together!
There are 2 billion or so Muslims in the world, but only a few thousand extremists. There are 2 billion Christians in the world, and literally millions of them are violent extremists.
Never forget that most of the terrorist attacks on US soil have been by Christians, not Muslims. It was white Christian males that bombed medical clinics that performed abortions. It was white Christian males that went around killing medical doctors. It was a white Christian male that bombed the Oklahoma City federal building. The Unabomber was a white Christian male. It was a white Christian male that bombed the Olympics in Georgia. It was a Christian male that went on that shooting rampage several years ago.
It was a white Christian male that killed at least 120,000 (UN figures point to more than 1.2 million) innocent civilians in a country that had never and never would attack the US.
We need to keep an eye on Christians that are becoming involved with Christian extremists! |

That's a bit rich,coming from a government involved in the slaughter of thousands of innocent Muslim men, women,& children. |

What a ridiculous question.
Are you suggesting that white european/american parents shouldn't? |
|

Are you advocating shooting the parents instead of the children? |

No, this whole political correctness crap we are prisoners of here in America will be the end of us. That would not be incinuating that thier children WILL be a problem, it's just saying the same thing as telling the rest of us to keep an eye on our loner, brooding teenagers who spend hours alone in thier rooms looking up bomb recipies on the web. We ALL have to be aware that our kids could be taking a fast turn down a path that will turn out like Columbine or 9-11. It could happen to any of us and we all have to be aware that our kids are young & impressionable...if we aren't making the strongest impressions...someone else WILL! |
