Muslims Don't Grow Up
by Ayesha Ahmed
Have you ever noticed how much is common between beliefs and thinking
of little children and grown up. Muslims? Consider the following:
Children believe: Muslims believe:
Children believe everything in their storybooks without a question.
Muslims believe everything in their religious books without a
question.
Children believe that Tarzan can talk to animals. Muslims believe that
Sulaiman could talk to animals; he could even hear ants talking miles
away.
Children believe that all animals of the world can behave like humans
and can follow orders given by humans. Muslims believe that all
animals of the world can behave like humans and follow orders given by
humans as they followed Noah's order to come take a ride with him in
his ark.
Children think that stars are small playthings and a tall enough
person can reach up, grab and throw them at any one. Muslims believe
that stars are small enough for god to reach down, grab, and throw
them at mischievous satans and jins trying to listen to higher
assembly.
Children believe that earth is flat, sun and moon are lamps, which go
around the earth, and stars are decorations on a solid blue sky, which
is a canopy on earth, Muslims also believe the same.
Children believe in beautiful fairies. Muslims believe in beautiful
houris.
Children believe that fairies come and place money under their pillows
when they are asleep. Muslims believe that houries come and share
their pillows when they are dead.
Children believe in ghosts and monsters. Muslims believe in jins and
satans.
Children believe that ghosts and monsters hide under their beds during
the night. Muslims believe that jins and satans hide in their noses
and their bathrooms during the night.
Children believe in magic kingdom with all the goodies and hope to
live in it some day. Muslim believe in heaven with all the goodies and
hope to live in it some day.
Children dream of visiting disney land one day, and when this dream
comes true it is the happiest time of their lives. muslims dream of
visiting mecca one day, and when this dream comes true, it is the
happiest time of their lives.
When in Disneyland, children wear Disney character T-shirts and Mickey
mouse caps and very excitedly follow big crowds to different points
of fascination. When in Mecca Muslims wear special clothes, shave
their heads/wear hijab and very excitedly follow big crowds to
different points of fascination.
Children pretend to beat the imaginary monster with a real stick
Muslims pretend to beat the imaginary satan by throwing real stones.
Children believe that their all-powerful hero Superman can fly Muslims
believe that their all-powerful hero Mo could fly on a winged horse.
Children love rituals and talk to their imaginary friends. Muslims
love rituals and say salam to imaginary angels.
Children think that their imaginary friends are with them all the time
even when they are asleep at night Muslims think that their imaginary
angels are with them all the time, even when they are making love at
night or on a camels back during the day.
Children believe that all the good kids will be rewarded with candy
and all the bad kids will be punished by spanking Muslims believe that
all the Muslims will be rewarded with houries and all the non-Muslims
will be punished with hellfire.
However, children grow out of their childhood one day, but Muslims
don't.
