Many people in the Asian Community lead VERY sheltered lives.

My twelve year old neighbour gets spoon fed by his mum every night, whilst he reclines on the pillow watching Telly…in fact even my 30-40year old uncle’s still sometimes get spoon fed by their mum.

What are the implications of babying your grown children?

If anything, don’t people start to take liberties? Who wouldn’t want to be waited on hand and foot?

And doesnt this result in the self-fulfilling prophecy? You know, treat someone like a baby and they'll begin to act like a baby?

Often, when someone who is religious minded or active in Islam, gets into disputes or disagreements or does something wrong….people are quick to retaliate by saying “is this what your books/teacher or mosque teaches you”

Why is that?

There are 101 reasons why people argue or make mistakes in life…it could be cos of external influences such as society, media, friends or even their own selves, so why blame Islam first?

Is this because secretly some people hold a grudge or hostility against Islam, which they’d never admit out loud?

OR is there truth in their statement?

Quote: "[color=indigo]Lazy Britons are failing to do the the minimum recommended levels of exercise.
A survey shows that 67% of us do less than the Department of Health recommended 30 minutes exercise a day for at least five days a week.
The most common reason for not being able to exercise was work, and lack of motivation and injury also ranked high as excuses.
The Scots were the worst couch potatoes, with nearly three-quarters, 74%, failing to do the minimum 2.5 hours a week, while the Tyne Tees region came out top of the league with more than half of residents doing more than the minimum

'Whoever changes religion – kill him'
By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent[/b]

THE Koran is contradictory on the fate of those who deny the truth of Islam.
