to let my 3 year old go to an eid party

[mamamibbo]

because according to a faceook idiot friend this is brain washing and will lead to the child wanting to convert to islam

Well my MIL will be hosting our Eid party and shall absolutely be scheduling in the annual "brainwashing of local kids" section. She uses Freddos and the power of hypnosis doncha know.

Be warned.....

Why would you care about the opinion of anyone so stupid?

Silly bigot. Can't elide there are people with such views

I'd rather DS went to an Eid party than meet someone like that fool.

Of course you should let your child go! Being exposed to different cultures in enriching. I went to a CofE school and I'm not a Christian so that is bollocks.
Also your twatty 'friend' is an idiot to link a Muslim festival Eid with brainwashing, you don't hear people cancelling Xmas because of Christian fundamentalism...

I would love to go to an Eid party.

arf at brainwashing with Freddos.

yes I'm sure going to an Eid party will make her muslim, in much the same way as celebrating Christmas makes people Christian.

Your friend is an idiot.

Lol, our neighbours had one! Wasn't it a while ago < clueless>

I promise your LO will not get brainwashed but will get tonnes of yummy food..I think your spacebook friend needs to pull their head out of their arse though..

YANBU - your friend is.

I would love it if my little boy was invited to an Eid party. What a lovely way to be introduced to a different religion.

Delete the 'friend' and let your dd enjoy the party.

I would love to go to one it's probably more fun than Christmas.

My Dh was invited to one while away on business and he LOVED it. I'm very jealous of your DD- apparently the food is wonderful . If I were you I woudl try to tag along

It's Eid, it's celebratory. Let them go and have a fun time. Get rid of the twit on farcebook!

I'd convert to anything for a Freddo right now.......there's not a crumb of chocolate in the house and I want some :(

YANBU OP other than to know such a twunt. Even on facebook

Witchety there are 2 greedy bastards one at the end of Ramadan and one a while later.

You get new clothes as a gift to wear too!

We went to an aqiqah (Islamic baptism equivalent) and a family member on DP's side asked us not to go out of 'principle' because she'd read somewhere that Christmas was in danger of being banned because of 'the Islamics'.

Stupid people are everywhere, just ignore and be glad you live in a society where your DCs are able to experience all these cultures.

it's ridiculous, im sure your dc will enjoy it so just ignore the fb comment and dont give it a 2nd thought

Send your child, ignore the bigot. People like that make me cross.

What an idiot. Yes a 3 year old will really be clued up about the meaning of a whole religion in a space if 2-3 hours .

softly thanks, I wondered! Next doors sounded fun.... Food smelt good too. I love my Muslim neighbours!

Hoping softly's MIL wants to brainwash me - I love Freddos

YANBU. I've got a 5 year old and 9 year old, and would be happy for them to go. In fact, I'd think it would be a great idea - a party, and also to learn about other beliefs/way of life.
