something rotten in Islam

A Muslim proverb says that a child's first university is her or his mother's lap. Young children at this age are like soft clay and can be moulded into more or less a permanent shape that will prove difficult to change in later years. It's a process that might be called education by osmosis. I graduated from the university of my Indian mother's lap with a fear of the prayers of others, especially those I have wronged.
