[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious how many of you MIL supporting posters would be cool with Muslim inlaws surprise signing up their Jewish grandkids for a week of Koran camp at a time when it will hugely impact their parents to find other arrangements. [/quote]

I would.  My Catholic mother would completely pull this with my non-Catholic (indeed, non-religious) kids.  And it would piss me off because I am 100% certain she did a kitchen sink baptism the first time she was alone with them. But then again, at 6 & 8, "Bible camp" is singing songs, a craft, a snack, running outside, and a small dose of Jesus loves me.  It is not full scale religious instruction or indoctrination. And I don't think it hurts anyone to take time to learn a little something about other religions. Which is what you say to your kids. We may not believe exactly what Grandma believes. But there is nothing wrong with learning about her beliefs and respecting them. And I would maintain this if my kids did something similar at a mosque or temple. [/quote]
