Quote:They are both equally false, however, you can believe the quran as such and that does not effect me, however when you have the arrogance to tell me I am born muslim that is another matter. You see wel, you're fantasy world is starting to reach my real world.I believe you are using too narrow a definition of "Islam" personally. Though I've no doubt there are others who would disagree with me, I believe that saying someone is "born Muslim" does not mean they were born practicing the "religion" of Islam; "religion" implies a ritualistic orthodoxy and a circumscribed set of beliefs, which I do not believe is the case.
What I believe (begin metaphysical diatribe) is that people were not born in conflict with their role as God's creation, but through living in the world we come into this conflict. In other words, if "Islam" is literally a submission to the purpose for which one is created, then to say someone is born "muslim" is to say that we are born spiritually in accord with that purpose. We rapidly forget that purpose and become ghafils, and it is through spiritual reflection and learning from parents and society that we either begun to return towards it or drift even farther away.
