I'de also like other peoples comments on how we can improve religious education in a none islamic envirment and how it can be made easier for others.  Thanks

As'Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

Choorian, your question is very intresting and bit tough to answer too. I were living in a non-muslim area but alhamdullilah, now shifted to a muslim populated place. I can understand how uneasy and sometimes tough it is. We hold a great resonsibility because u are n't Choorian to them but a muslim first. So we need to be very mindful of our acts. At the same carry "a weapon of patience". Be soft.

How can we be improve religious education - If you love reading, then u beautify your world. We have got various good sites to learn about Islam. Then try to implement them in our lives. Try to spent most of the time with the muslims be it two or three. Be united and try to discuss over religious issues.

How can it be made easier - Simple, follow it. Don't be rigid with the values at first.

I hope our other members too shall comment here.

 Choorian, you can try asking your problems/ questions here on this forum. May be you will get better results. Just try it, in the correct section. But first participate in an ongoing discussion. Do not start your own thread unless very necessary.  mm
