No, but my own eyes were opened because my older son started studying Arabic at a local Islamic Institute. He was the only non-Muslim in the beginners class, one of only two non-Middle Easterners.

I did some research on the 'net and found out that it was one of the places that teach intolerance and hatred of Christians and Jews using the same textbooks that are used in Saudi Arabia in the government run schools.

We are switching him to a different school, this one run by our county government, which, I assume, will not teach religious content.

Not that the class he was taking had any religious content. They were perfectly nice to him.
