I thought the same is with Mormons in Utah. All the communities that put artificial boundaries into peoples life have these problems. It would be so much better to use too much energy into something positive and constructive.

Jaga,

You are right and the same counts for Ultra Conservative Roman Catholics, Puritinical Fundamentalist Calvinist Reformed Christians (Presbyterianism in Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, the USA, the Netherlands and South Africa [ Presbyterianism ], Evangelicals (The Christian Right in the USA), Extreme American Christian Fundamentalists, Jehovas Witnesses, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Pentecostalism, the Pentecostal Church, Fundamentalist Hindu's, Ultra Orthodox Haredi jews ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haredi_Judaism ), closed Orthodox Christian communities and various sectarian movements. Also with New Age, Ideological, Mytholigical and philosophical backgrounds. Scientology church, Raëlism (also known as Raëlianism, a UFO religion founded in 1970s France by Claude Vorilhon, Scholars of religion classify Raëlism as a new religious movement. The group is formalised as the International Raëlian Movement (IRM) or Raëlian Church, a hierarchical organisation under Raël's leadership.), the Unification Church of Sun Myung Moon (1920–2012) (Americans will remember the Moonies), the apocalyptic cult of the Branch Davidians (or the General Association of Branch Davidian Seventh-day Adventists) of Benjamin Roden and the split off of the Branch Davidians, "The Davidian Branch Davidian Seventh Day Adventist Association" of the American cult leader David Koresh (born Vernon Wayne Howell), who played a central role in the Waco (Texas) siege of 1993. During the 51-day siege and violence that ensued, Koresh was wounded by ATF forces and later died of a gunshot in unclear circumstances as the compound was destroyed in a fire.

The Raëlian symbol of the sectarian Raëlian Church, or the International Raëlian Movement (IRM) under the leadership of Planétaire guider Raël, Claude Maurice Marcel Vorilhon.

I also think about the The Rajneesh movement of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (1931–1990), also called Bhagwan, the people in the Orange Boilersuits, often Naive White European and American Hippie kind of people.

I aggree with Jaga, that all the communities that put artificial boundaries into peoples life have these problems. They lock people in dogma's, doctrinary thinking and Orthodoxy and fear and anxiety and a lot of community control and pressure. It would be so much better to use too much energy into something positive and constructive.

Cheers,

Pieter and Jaga

How so very well do I agree with you both. Respective to the subject Muslim Community, this is something as adults and parents wish to protect their children from the ways of the world. But then, we must consider that young people are trying to learn the world around them, and this is one of the pitfall traps that they needs be avoid. But, when to say that something is tabu, the more these people will try to find out for themselves, it is human nature of both curiosity and needs to know.

What to do to combat it? This then is to the family as their parental responsibility.
