  • Where does it say that? Anyway attempting to apply logic to a belief system is pointless. All arguments get the deus ex machina treatment. How can you argue with anyone reasonably who believes their source material is divinely infallible?
  • interesting. just markin this so I can see answers.
  • For what it's worth: - "The Quran states that all people are born Muslim; Non-Muslims are those who have been led astray." = An absurd statement which I'd doubt religious but also 'compos mentis' folks would support; and - "...the discovery of feral children..." = 'Anthropologists' are closin' in on Bigfoot too! - ;-)
  • First, you need to know that Islam means the believe in and the total submission to the will of Allah, the ONE TRUE GOD (The CREATOR). A Muslim is the person who believes in and submits to the will of Allah (The Creator), the One True GOD. Now, returning back to your original question, that inforamtion regarding all people are born Muslim was stated by prophet MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him): Narrated Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said: "Every child is born with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism, Christianity or Magainism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?" ================== Now this is what very recently (in 2008) has been discovered by non-Muslim scientists and published by Telegraph: Children are born believers in God, academic claims Children are "born believers" in God and do not simply acquire religious beliefs through indoctrination, according to an academic Telegraph By Martin Beckford, Religious Affairs Correspondent Published: 2:54PM GMT 24 Nov 2008 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/3512686/Children-are-born-believers-in-God-academic-claims.html "Dr Justin Barrett, a senior researcher at the University of Oxford's Centre for Anthropology and Mind, claims that young people have a predisposition to believe in a supreme being because they assume that everything in the world was created with a purpose. He says that young children have faith even when they have not been taught about it by family or at school, and argues that even those raised alone on a desert island would come to believe in God. "The preponderance of scientific evidence for the past 10 years or so has shown that a lot more seems to be built into the natural development of children's minds than we once thought, including a predisposition to see the natural world as designed and purposeful and that some kind of intelligent being is behind that purpose," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "If we threw a handful on an island and they raised themselves I think they would believe in God." In a lecture to be given at the University of Cambridge's Faraday Institute on Tuesday, Dr Barrett will cite psychological experiments carried out on children that he says show they instinctively believe that almost everything has been designed with a specific purpose. In one study, six and seven-year-olds who were asked why the first bird existed replied "to make nice music" and "because it makes the world look nice". Another experiment on 12-month-old babies suggested that they were surprised by a film in which a rolling ball apparently created a neat stack of blocks from a disordered heap. Dr Barrett said there is evidence that even by the age of four, children understand that although some objects are made by humans, the natural world is different. He added that this means children are more likely to believe in creationism rather than evolution, despite what they may be told by parents or teachers. Dr Barrett claimed anthropologists have found that in some cultures children believe in God even when religious teachings are withheld from them. "Children's normally and naturally developing minds make them prone to believe in divine creation and intelligent design. In contrast, evolution is unnatural for human minds; relatively difficult to believe."
  • first it's not in quran .. it's a prophet's say (("Every child is born with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism, Christianity or Magainism)) muslim mean (total submission to the one god) as when god say in quran every thing (tree, mountain..etc) submit to allah and praise him but you don't understand how these thing talk or feel..
  • I've got a nephew coming in a couple weeks. I'll ask him if he's Muslim or not. If all he does is eat, cry, and poop, I'll take that as a no.
  • No. It is still bunk.
  • People are born with no idea about any god(s) or deities. Feral children are an excellent example of this. With no parents to indoctrinate them, children grow up without a religion or a belief in god.
