Child Unwell But Parents Did Not Seek Medical Attention

[Berries'forest]

To be fair to Karl and Cosmic, neither of them are saying it is good to kill their children, or that they would do so, or that they should not be punished if they did.

They were implying that it is a-okay for anyone to just do anything and everything they want with their children. Since they are their property and even killing them wouldn't be good enough for parents to be dubbed as murderers. And maybe you missed the post but CosmicPathos made it quite clear that parents should not be punished if they were ever to kill their children deliberitly.

They could've expressed their desire to raise their children however they wish with out those uncalled for hyper induced arguments they've made. What on earth, does someone have to go through all these great lengths of porfessing their unique sentiments regading such topics just to finish off with saying despite all the outlandish comments and remarks they've made about children they still love them?. There will be one day that comes when children denounce and run away from their parents and a wife casts her husband away. Fear God before you publish whatever you write because we are not the only ones who see this but God above all is well aware of what you do. Bottomline is Your children will never be your property. Simply because you are only the mere intermediate for their existance but their tru owner is God. There is no court that can give you victory in their custody over God because it is God whose created them and not you.

I didn't miss it. I am the one that drew it out of him. I wanted to clarify his view and gave an example that both he and I realize is extreme to test its limits. That he feels he has the right to kill his kids, doesn't mean he would actually do so. I find his position scary, because as the OP demonstrates there are parents who would do so, and he feels we have no right to stop them.

Fear God before you publish whatever you write because we are not the only ones who see this but God above all is well aware of what you do.

I find this pretty disturbing as well. Treat people well and be good towards your fellow humans because you Fear God? No. Way too authoritarian for my comfort. Treat people well and be good towards your fellow humans because you have empathy and compassion.

Bottomline is Your children will never be your property. Simply because you are only the mere intermediate for their existance but their tru owner is God. There is no court that can give you victory in their custody over God because it is God whose created them and not you.

They own themselves. I disapprove of ownership of human beings. Slavery is wrong. Hence my sig below.

Karl, thank you for your responses.

One more question. Do you extend your claimed parental sovereignty past adolescence and into adulthood for your children? So long as you live are you the owner of your children, even once they have children of your own? Are you the owner of your grand children and great grand children and all of your descendents downwards?

I don't believe in adolescence. Adulthood at twelve is my ancestors custom. I am not concerned with age but if they have the maturity to be independant of me. I will bestow independence on them. And to the rest of your questions the answer is no and btw I would have to be immortal to own my descendants anyway.

12 is adult? He can marry at that age and start to take care about his own family alone?

Does 12 year old is real mature to understand to how to rise his children? Isn´t 12 year old is still in mind as child?

I do appreciate the other muslims writing in the thread, and I am convinced that this view Karl and CosmicPathos hold has little to do with Islam. There is something else going on here.

Islam's reason d'etre is to make us recognize one God who has created us and to follow His last Prophet. That is it.

Islam has given me the freedom to create my own views in all other aspects of life.

Islam Cosmic as like Islam Karl? Be carefull little brother that you don´t create own views what aren´t islamic at all. Fear Allah.

Half of what you (or any human being really from sister insaanah to bro hulk) write on these forums are your views with your biases, not Islam's views or Prophet's views. So why do you not fear Allah and only want me or Karl to fear Allah?

I do fear Allah swt and I do think most humans only pay lip service to Allah swt. So I am baagi/rebel/contrarian to most human values/societies.

@Psygo: If we interfered in a person who was about to commit sin, he would never commit the sin and then would never be punished by God for something he did not do. Is not it then better to let him commit that sin and then let God distribute justice in the perfect way? Just an interesting question, not that I believe in that.

 

[sister herb]

It is great that you fear Allah, my brother Cosmic. May Allah guide you to see your biases too as well us all to understand basics of Islam.

I am more interesting to talk about matters of original post, not about personal matters of singural members here.

It all depends on the individual growth hormone levels and genetics.

 

[sister herb]

It also depends how mature someone is, not only hormones or genetics. :embarrass With animals we could talk about them only.

That can be taken as arguing against hijab, since isn't part of the reason for hijab to keep others from sinning? It could actually be taken as an argument that there should be absolutely no rules or laws on Earth since God would be giving out perfect justice.

I think that it is the role of mankind to help and protect each other, and I don't see not helping someone who is being abused or attacked or killed by their parents as an exception. That is just taking an opinion to an absurd extreme.

Well perhaps it's because you went against your own conscience this is why it seems so rare to you. You admitted it yourself you are driven by passion. I think the equivalent arabic word for that (I read on a translated note) was Himya or Hamiya it is an ignorant trait. I also noticed that you've missed the whole chapter in the Quran that condemed arab men who burried their daughters alive because they were considered to be a disgrace to the household or clan. No I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you are not as remarkably outstanding as you seem to think you are and yet ironically it is you who denotes that he is not as arrogant and conceited so as to 'interfere' and save a child from a wrteched infliction caused by their own 'caring' parents. You know many of your likes still exist today and have existed throughout history and for your dismay they weren't prophets nor were they truly believing people either. We can't help it if you don't feel compassionate enough to care about the well-being of your own children. I suppose you'd still stand firmly on your stance if your parents have claimed this right to parental soveregeinty as well?. Or perhaps they already did and it was just a trait that you've inherited from them. But since we 'do' "create "our children then for all we care we can burn them alive now can't we?. Kudos to the merciless empire of parental soveregeinty launching one of the most significant and remotely disasterous revolutions in all history. More power to abusive parents and downplaying to 'evil wicked nosey wretches' who dare to interfere. Funny though you seem to be placing burning down someone's house or abducting his wife on the same footing as 'interfering' with the way they treat their children. *Note: This whole thread by the way is about specifically that; How they treat their children and not how they raise them;big difference*. But hey, why should anyone concern themselves with burning down or abducting the wife of such a man I mean he would eventaully have done it himself anyway; no need to be concerned over that.

Karl, I said this to you before and I'll say it again. It's hightime you get a load of yourself. Seriously.

This behavior in earth language and substracting all those fancy and sophisticated words like 'anarchist' and 'non-conformist' it's simply called being possessive a trait that is driven by the ego. The need to control someone and exhibit absolute power over them even if that someone was your poor helpless child.

All I get is attacked for my beliefs from all except one. All believe they are overlords of my family and children except one. It was written that the world will be filled with hypocrites and sychophants and the truly faithful will be few, how true this is.

Do you represent similar way of thinking than in original post (I think they are christians in that family who left they child without medical care but instead of it decided to pray than go to doctor)? What if we could go back to topic? Your personal way to behave must be important and interesting to you but it isn´t thread in here.

These people do not realize that Prophet Muhamamd pbuh was the most influential person and thinker of his time. He went against societal customs. He challenged all notions prevalent in his society. From concept of God to relations between men and women, to children.

We can never be like the Prophet, but I am thankful to Allah for bestowing us with this unique ability to see things the way they are.

It makes me wonder if these people were present during Prophet's time when he started his call, would these people have supported him or criticized him? Wallahu aalim, but humans are the most scary creatures.

My spiezes is fully grown and mentally mature by 12 years old. Hindu used to get married at 5 years old. It's only marriage not trying to rule the world.
Btw people are animals. What else can they be?

All revolutionary ideas start as absurdities. Islam was an absurdity to Arabs when Prophet started his call. Now not for a moment think that I believe what I am saying is anyway closer to the call of Prophet, but that is the basic difference in those who follow the crowd and those who travel the uncharted territory.

Any ideas why all Prophets at one time were sheep-herders? Because humanity is like sheep. And Prophets need that patience and that tenderness to lead the humanity to success, just like the sheep need it.

 

[sister herb]

What about being as humans? Mature people whose understand also what means humanity and being responsible adult? If Hindus, some of them marry at 5 years old, have muslims make same mistake that marry when they still are as children?

What if 12 year old child doesn´t want to marry but stay at home and play with dolls?

I am just replying to people here. People just like to badger me for my beliefs. They are pulling this thread off topic not me. Also let's look at it from another angle, these Christians might want to have strong children so if they are weak they die and go to God. People today do everything they can to preserve the sickly and weak. Is this the right path? Would it be better to let them die so their genetic line gets stronger? So many babies are born premature and have to be kept in intensive care in incubators, is this right and natural? Will the people in the future become so weak that they will have to rely on machines to live?
