Islamic Schools in US Raise Hopes, Fears Muslim educators say Islam is a small part of curriculum but critics worry schools breed violent anti-Western Islamists

American Muslims see these schools as a way to provide their children with a combination of good, mainstream education and training in the essentials of their faith. But critics fear some of these schools might expose Muslim children to radical Islamist views.
