“Abu Huraira, narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘Every child is born with a true faith (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism or to Christianity or to Magainism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?’ Then Abu Huraira recited the holy verses: ‘The pure Allah’s Islamic nature (true faith i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone), with which He has created human beings.’ (30.30).” (Bukhari 2.23.1358)
“Story of four-year-old Shenouda raises disturbing questions on adoption and foster care in Egypt,” by Nader Shukry, Wataninet, September 4, 2022:
The story started four years ago in a church in Egypt—location and identity of the church, and some names in this story, are not being reported as a cautionary measure—where a baby was found, apparently abandoned by his biological mother.
The priest, not knowing what to do, decided to hand the infant to a couple who had been childless for 29 years, and who desperately desired a child. The couple were elated to have the little boy to care for and bring up as their own; they applied for a birth certificate for him and gave him their name: Shenouda Farouq Fawzy Boulos. They had Shenouda baptised, and raised him as a Christian grounded in church for four years during which they were an indescribably happy, loving family.
Mr Boulos’s niece, however, was not at all happy with the situation. Realising that Shenouda’s legal name as the son of Mr Boulos made him her uncle’s legal inheritor and excluded her from the inheritance, she made a claim to the police that the boy was not Mr Boulos’s son but had been trafficked. Egyptian law outlaws adoption, in accordance with Islamic sharia, but allows Takaful—literally “care”, in this case foster care—but children cannot be given their foster parents’ names nor can they legally inherit their money or belongings; they can only receive “gifts” from their foster parents.
The prosecution opened an investigation with the Bouloses, in which tests proved Shenouda was no child of theirs. Yet the prosecutor recognised that the matter was absolutely well intentioned, so did not prosecute Mr Boulos. But Mr Boulos had signed a statement that he had found the infant Shenouda on the street [in a probably well-meaning but ill-advised attempt to not implicate the church], so the prosecutor ordered the child to be taken from his care and handed to an orphanage. Why? Because, according to the law, any unidentified child is considered Muslim, and cannot be put in the care of a Christian family. His name was officially changed from the Coptic “Shenouda” to the more neutral “Youssef” (Joseph). This was in February 2022….
European pagan says
Every child will be born as atheist, because a baby doesn’t know what is God or religion
CogitoErgoSum says
It has to be born again.
somehistory says
the poor child. and the poor couple. Yes, he should have said the baby was left in the church, since he was not being prosecuted. Perhaps that would kept the baby with them.
the niece is greedy and evil and if he can, he should lock her out of receiving anything from him. He should disown her as a family member and tell her how very despicable she is to him.
the horrible woman will be reaping as she has sown and any monetary advantage she has due to her evil, will not save her from her reaping.

Egypt: Four-year-old child taken from adoptive Christian family because every child is born Muslim
……………………………
Appalling–this poor little child, and poor family. And worse yet, Islam doesn’t even allow adoption, so this little boy will never know a loving Muslim family, either. Of course “loving Muslim family” is too often an oxymoron under the best of circumstances…
This vengeful niece is disgusting. I hope she never gets a penny. More use of Islamic law to seize money and property from Infidels.

So everyone is born a Muslim. That’s a tragic life sentence for humanity, according to this Muslim crap, for everybody to be born into that primitive load of crap, islam. What annoys me is the way that islam shows no tolerance for anything or anybody that is not islamic, but all our non-Muslim countries keep showing a tolerant attitude towards Muslims. The tolerance is all one way. Anyway, it is absolute garbage. We are all born merely human beings. But islam is full of nonsense and, since it wants to rule the world, it’ll grab any recruit that it can get its hands on.
somehistory says
Yes, Adam was “born” and then Eve and there was no such thing as mozlum. And all the way until the time of the slime of the desert…either in the fetid brains of the writers of that book of evil filth, or in the likes of an actual creature of evil filth…there was no such animal as a mozlum.
Our Creator did not create mozlums….that came from satan the devil. Which means, in reality, no one is ‘born mozlum.”

Good summary, somehistory. Islam is full of ridiculous ideas and this “everyone is born a Muslim” is right up there with the most idiotic of all those crazy ideas. A lot of what islam goes on with makes no sense whatsoever.
somehistory says
thank you, tim. Yes, when God created man, he was made in God’s image…Jesus showed us what that means, “When you have seen me, you have seen the Father.”
mozlums pattern themselves after their ‘god’…satan; and as Jesus said, they become the devil’s “children.” They become like him; as do any persons who live a life of evil.
But each baby is born with an empty slate, so to speak, and can make choices as to whether to mirror God’s image or become a child of the devil.

Islam is an evil religion alright, somehistory, the Devils own. It twists the minds of its followers, although, fortunately, not all Muslims do seem to become as evil as many of them do.
CogitoErgoSum says
If you consider that Muslims think of themselves as the slaves of Allah it does make sense even from a Christian perspective. Everyone is born a slave to the ruler of this world who is … that’s right, Satan. We are all born into slavery but we can be set free if we choose to walk through the gate that has been opened for us. No, our minds do not know this at birth but we must be “born again” of the Spirit because flesh gives birth to flesh and the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

I see what you mean, CogitoErgoSum. I think also that this garbage about how Muslims basically claim that everyone is really a Muslim, but just haven’t submitted yet, is typical of the bullying, vicious, intimidating nature of islam. It is the same as that extraordinary garbage about how anyone deciding to ditch islam is in line to be killed for daring to do so. islam is definitely the creed for vicious bullies.
