Not sure how to answer that one there have been so many misunderstandings and assumptions made over the time I have been here it's hard to think of just one thing. I would not like this to start another Muslim thread but I do feel it may be helpful to explain my family dymanic. We brought up my sisters children, two boys who are half Sri Lankan, they came to us and we gave them freedom to chose their religion as their dad is Muslim their mum is atheist and we are Christian. They both chose to become Muslim a couple of years ago.
I am not Muslim neither is my husband but I can't stand by when Muslims are generalised.
We also took in my other sisters children (parenting in my family isn't a strong point) one of them eventually returned to his mum and dad , happy he did as the actual aim was always the kids should go home, but no matter how we tried to return the other 3 they all kept bouncing back.
