It makes sense to me to have every student in High School to read the major religious texts. Let them read the entire Bible and the entire Quran. Let them read it and discuss the comparisons between the character, life, and teachings of Jesus and Mohammed. A good open minded exposure to what the texts actually say should be part of a quality education.

For the record, I'm a Christian, and I have no problem with what you suggest. I've read a significant portion of the Quran, and I think a better understanding of it as well as the Hadith and the Sunnah would be quite an eye opener. And of course I'm certain students would be well served by a better understanding of the Bible.

I think calling for people to read the Bible and the Quran for themselves is one of the most effective ways in our culture to lay the cards on the table without being accused of slandering Islam. I dare the Muslims in America to state that they do not want Americans to read the Quran and the Hadith for themselves in order to discover the teachings and character and live of Mohammed.

Christians should read the and study the Quran. I state this often in my lectures in churches. I also challenge the so-called moderate Muslims in America to instruct Muslims to read the Bible for themselves. So far no Muslim leaders in America have risen to the challenge.
