Some of you here are saying that it's ok for Muslim kids to be friends with kaafir kids at a young age. I disagree...this might have been true 20 years ago, but with the way kaafir kids are nowadays they tend to be more sexually aware and have more bad manners. They might say rude things about their parents for example or have an abnormal level of knowledge of things they shouldn't know about or want to discuss cartoons that are unislamic-forget cartoons they probably watch movies with their parents. Some of them may be into music and their parents may have no qualms with them watching anything they like on tv.

I don't have a tv in my house, my son is allowed to watch things that have been monitored...not all cartoons are appropriate. None of us watch movies and it's expected that he speaks in a respectful way. I am, teaching my eldest son (41/2) about Allah and Islaam...basic things. If I was to put him with kaafir kids it will mess all of that up and confuse him.

He can interact with the kuffar as he gets older, but he will have to know that what they do is wrong and not to get close to them. Even "bad" Muslim kids...they would have to be taught not to get close to them either unless they can teach them about Islam.

Also, I just want to mention something about the older generation-they didn't know society as well as we do now since they were from back home (born and brought up there) and so they didn't always have the correct tools or know how to deal with issues that our generation might have had. Many of them felt safe about everything and then got a rude awakening when their child hit their teenage years wanted a bf/gf, took drugs etc..in fact it still happens now where parents think it's ok to teach Islam at home, just salah and how to read Quran and have no idea about how wider society works and feel that their kids will be ok...Not only that, but many of them don't practice what they preach. Islam is just a culture to them
