A Biased Author

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate & the Most Merciful

Someone I know,  recently bought a book for a 8year old child, about religions that are "exists" in this world and how being an atheists is the "best option".  To be honest, the first intention I had when I asked to have a look at the book, was how comprehensive would it be or at least just glance through the information to have a better understanding of the other religions and their practices.

I was taken aback. How this book presented the wrong informations about the religions.  I do not own a vast knowledge about religions but I do know that its truly untrue when the book mentioned the following:

Islam is a strict religion. They have to pray 5x a day
[praying 5x a day is considered tough? how is that so when these prayers are beneficial to us? The recitations that are recited are supplications for our well-being (i.e. seeking forgiveness, asking for guidance, Glory Him to humble ourselves. We are afterall mere human being with limited strengths and  let alone power). Grab a Daily Prayer book and read the translations.]

Women has to cover their hair
[thats it? should not they mentioned chest area as well? its stated in the Quran about it.]

They cant eat hotdog otherwise their God will be angry with them.
[hot dog? Was he referring to pork?] [Allah SWT will be angry if we do something that would be harmful to ourselves. We are His honoured creations among all, and here we are harming ourselves? Wont that make The One who loves us angry. Its like betraying the honoured title.

"And surely We have honoured the children of Adam, and We carry them in the land and sea, and We have given them of the good things, and We have made them to excel by an appropriate excellence over most of those whom We have created"
(Quran 17: 70) (Translation by Shakir)

Christians worship God or Jesus Christ
[I am sure there is some correction required or at least an explanation to the abovementioned sentence]

The book is clearly biased! I have nothing against atheist but I do not agree on the information (w/0 explanations) found on the book. I cant comment much on the write ups about the other religions since I am not equipped with the knowledge).

Why do we start to brain wash innocent children's mind with incorrect informations just to get him/her to be of the same faith as we are. Explanations and instill curiousity would help the child.

Please do not begin with fake information and  lie. Our children (even adult readers) deserve better treatment.
