'Drawings': religious conflict and tolerance

The Muslim girl Amina, are caught in a conflict between the world she live on, and the world she come from. But Amina is just a little girl, and many things she is not grown enough to understand. But one thing, that makes the girl happy, is painting. She is very proud of her works, and the only thing she desire, is to put her painting on the wall.

Amina is a normal little girl, but different in fact of the other kids at her school. People always drew away from her a little on buses and in lifts, because she smelled different. She had another colour skin and her teachers don’t want to put her painting on the wall. But the only difference of Amina is her religion and culture, and that is the problem, because Amina is between to different religions and culture, and she is to young to understand it. The teacher talk very kindly to Amina, but when she don’t want to put the painting on the wall, do the teacher neglect Amina. She want her instead to take it home and show it to her parents. I think the teacher do it, to provoke Aminas family. The teacher are conscious about Aminas religion, and know that Muslim don’t draw baby Jesus and Mary. That is the Muslims rule. They respect and live for their religion, and they don’t paint any other holy people of other religions. So, what the teacher do is not right for Amina. But Amina is just a little girl, and she is not grown enough to know that she make a mistake to take it home to her parents. If she was older, she know that her parents gets angry if they saw the painting of Baby Jesus and Mary.
