Salaam,
The basic issue is we have a problem. The problem is a cause of many many different reasons. We can not worry about why there are children in need of Muslim families. We need to concentrate on helping and educating Muslims children.
Islam tells us point blank to take care of each other. In western leagalise that would imply foster parents. We need to get over many of the stigma's that we hold on to. Yes, by living here we have taken on the soical evils of the west and our children are suffering.
I know that in metropolitian areas in the US many children are under the advisement of social serivces. Foster parenting offers the parents long term iniatives to take care of children and they are paid a sum of money each month. I do not know the system in the UK.
We call each other brother and sister. We are aunt and uncle to each Muslim child.
In the US there is federal money available for faith based oraganizations. This means if you want to open a group home and raise the children under the specifics of a particular religion there is money available to do so.
Maybe a brother and sister will read this and decide to open a group home for Muslim children in the US.
Domestic abuse is another area. I think Brother GP we need to dedicate a new thread to this issue.
Moreover, all these social issues have a common link. The are the manifestations of a society that has sunk to the lowest level. The family unit is broken. Forgive me but today I feel that a synonym for Muslim is an ostrich.
