Children At Risk!

There's something very serious happening in Kazakhstan-- and probably many other countries. And it's time teachers, principals, and education departments step up and grab a hold of the situation.

"(T)he growth in Islam’s popularity in Kazakhstan is clear, and this is normal,” Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences fellow Dimash Saurayev said. “So far, Islam, Christianity and other faiths have existed side by side quite peacefully in Kazakhstan. In order to preserve this peace, we must confront extremist movements.” Extremists are targeting teenagers because “they do not yet have fully formed ideals and they are easier to manage,” Saurayev said. “Therefore, we need social programmes to repel such influence.”

One smart mom noticed her son was hiding books under his bed. She found material on the outlawed organization, Hizb ut-Tahrir. His classmate had given it to him. Mom promptly spoke to her teenage boy and sent him to a psychologists. I understand her. Just like you wouldn't want your children tainted by pornographic material, I doubt you'd want your children tainted by religious radicals who live to kill and maim others. If such material is being spread in school, teachers and administration need to do something about it. Now what type of effective measures could be implemented?
