Questions about Compulsory Islamic Studies - liberal family
I've started looking into Islamic Studies which are compulsory for Muslims and would have a few questions (it seems to be hard to find answers from the Internet).
I understand children will need to start at grade 1?
How many lessons do they have per week? What will other children study whilst Muslims are doing Islamic studies? Would my children miss out on other subjects? Or would their days be longer?
How many Arabic lessons do they have? Is it more than non-Muslim? Nobody in our family speaks Arabic.
How are the teachers likely to feel about our liberal views? My husband is a very liberal Muslim. In the UK I tick the box 'no religion' when as here I have to call myself Christian again. We weren't going to bring up our children as Muslim but were going to talk about different views and let them choose whatever ideology suits them (if any). But as our surname is Muslim I understand that here they will get taught about Islam at school (well I don't need to do it then, I can just focus on other views).
Do the children need to pray or read Quaran? Anyone in the same boat?
