I think education is probably a good idea but for "us" not "them". I have no idea what goes on in a mosque other than the basic fifty fifty of media coverage. I've seen girls in this country excluded from participation in a public school sanctioned mosque because they are "dirty". And I've seen mosques with women leading the prayer callings. It's a weird dynamic and knowing more would help me figure things out. I don't believe most muslims are progressive enough for my values and beliefs but I don't think Christians are either. I'd have to see much more about what goes on.
