If its against a Sikhs religion to ever cut his hair does that mean he'd refuse chemotherapy?

I don't think chemotherapy constitutes cutting one's hair. It falls out. They have no control over it.

He does not shave himself. Neither rule says that he MUST shave people who do not shave themselves. Therefore, by not shaving himself, he does not violate either rule. In fact, both rules are really saying the same thing.

Some illnesses/medical disorders can ONLY be cured by surgery or a medical intervention. It's not a matter of crossing your fingers and hoping that your child doesn't die. If you are truly religious you would realize that God has given people the ability and intelligence to be physicians for a reason. I think anyone that denies their child medical care for 'religious reasons' should be charged with neglect and attempted murder. There have been way too many cases of children dying from people that have distorted religious beliefs.

Depends on who area of the world they come from. In some places only the the hood(The female counterpart to a foreskin) of the clitoris is removed, but in many areas, part or all the the clitoris(Like the glans penis of the man) as well as the hood  is removed, this is mostly done in african countries. The practice of female circumcision predates the Muslim religion,but in the Quaran Mohammad is asked about this issue and his answer was "To cut her gently" (only remove the hood), Unfortunately this is interpreted by many Muslim religious leaders as Mohammad condoning or having this cruel practice as being nessessary to being a good Muslim, when Mohamad was actually saying that if this thing must be done, than do as little harm to the girl as possible. The liberal Muslims see female circumcision as unessessary. In most Western countries the practice is illegal. The reason Mohammad did not speak totally against the practice is because female circumcision was a firmly established practce in many of the areas his supporters lived in and if he would have tried to stop it, he would have last a lot of political support.

No and if you listen to ignorant people who will just quote the bible at you--then ask them this.--The bible also says that a man should not cut the sides of his hair or trim his beard (Its in Leviticus) It also says it is okay to kill your slaves. Does that make any sense?!? God made us all who we are accept yourself for who you are and enjoy life. It is an adventure and you only get one shot.

As long as the person had the ability to save my life, I wouldn't care what religion they were...as a matter of fact, I'd almost be willing to bet the surgeon who did save my life many years ago isn't Christian....(never did ask, because it really didn't matter...)  It isn't spiritual matters that make the primary difference in your medical care, but whether a doctor has the knowledge, skills, and sometimes just the sheer nerve to try a procedure that might help. Competence, experience, intelligence, etc., are all far more important than whether we happen to share the same religious beliefs.

Well not only Islam doesn't allow plastic surgery but all religions as well....Plastic surgery means modifying God's creation so i don't think it is allowed in any religion!! Unless something came up and changed the original features into worse which is greatly affecting the patient's emotional well-being!

Christ never said to go along with the changes of the world.  "Go with the Flow" is not a message you'll find in the bible.  \n\nThere seems to be a debate about how to interpret the issue of a woman having a head covered and cutting her hair from what I could find, but it seems like most people interpret it to mean that a woman is not to have her hair cut in a man's style and a man is not to have it cut in a woman's style.  Heres a link that talks about it.\n\nhttp://www.leaderu.com/orgs/cbmw/rbmw/chapter5.html

Yes. I wanted to answer this question in my words. but there are so many more knowledgeable people than me. I looked on the Web to try to find the scripture that speaks of body mutilation, and I found the Website (listed under sources at the bottom of my comment) that goes into different types of mutilation. \n\nI think this well covers it, even though it is mainly about tattoos and piercings--mutilation is mutilation. And, if you are ridding yourself of an organ for sexual reasons, then it is against God. He created you as you for a reason, with His plans in mind.

Yes, it is.  My religion does not preach this, and it's one of the reasons that I chose to believe what I do.  Actions have consequences.  People should be made to deal with them, even if it's just a guilty conscience.

No.  Because this contradicts God being almighty.  God could create nothing that He couldn't do with as He pleases.

In such circumstances he can ask someone to help him out while doing the ritual washing. He can even pay the assistant if it is possible for him. If this is also not possible (as evident from the mentioned case) then such person is dispensed from having ritual washing. \n\nIf he is assited by some person then the assistant should only do those acts of ritual washings that are not possible to be performed by the disabled person himself.\n\nIslam shows a lenient behaviour towards prayers. \ne.g. If a person knows that he will become sick after doing ritual washing with water, then he is exempted from doing that.

Sikhism rejects all distinctions of religion,caste, creed, race or sex.here are the testimonies from Shri Guru Granth Sahib.\n\n"Of all the religions, the best religion is to repeat God's Name and to do pious deeds. Of all the religious rites, the best rite is to remove the filth of evil intellect by association with the saints." (Guru Arjan Dev, Ashtpadi, pg. 266) \n\n\n\n"All are created from the seed of God. There is the same clay in the whole world, the potter (God) makes many kinds of pots." (Guru Amar Das, Bhairo) \n\n"Recognise the light (of God) and do not ask for the caste, There is no caste in the next world." (Guru Nanak, Asa) \n\nso a true sikh won't ever object to intercaste marriages.infact i have seen many intercaste marriages in my community and nobody objected to them.\n\nBhagat Kabir,a brahmin by birth,has his hymns incorporated into Shri Guru Granth Sahib.similarly namdev,ravidas sheikh farid,surdas and many other saints of various faiths have their hymns incorporated into Shri Guru Granth Sahib.\nsikhism is a progressive religion and preaches a message of devotion,equality of mankind and denounces superstitions and blind rituals.so a true sikh should not bother whether the guy or girl is a muslim or hindu and by and large,they don't bother these days.

No.  Only if the prayers were sacreligious or disrespectful.  God is your Father, talk to Him as such.

Why you judging people by their religions?  Different people in every religion, just because they did something bad means their not a Sikh... if he is, he shouldn't belong in Sikhism.
