Apparently, we are all born sinners. How is this possible? I can think of very little that we did before birth that would be a sin. Except for something like, causing our mother pain during pregnancy or something.
But how can we be born sinners? Does this suggest that it is a sin to exist?

Adam was created perfect and while he was in the perfect state any children would have been perfect.
Before he could have children he sinned and past that on to us.
Think of it this way
You create a mold to make say a plastic object. Everything that is made from that mold looks the same, no defect.
Now someone puts a big dent or a scratch in the mold or some other defect. When the mold is used what will be the result? The defect will be reproduced in the created object.
By Adams fall into sin he put a defect in the human mold and that defect has been passed onto all his offspring. That is why Jesus cam as a ransom sacrifice to take away that defect. The time has not yet come for the defect to be taken out of the human race.
That is Gods purpose for the thousand year reign as of Jesus as our king and Judge.
The Bibles indications are we are living in what the Bible terms the time of the end of this system when the one influencing the defective mold (Satan) will be put away.

Paul answers this question in Romans 5:12-19. Verses 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 all repeat that the sin of one man (Adam) brought sin unto us all. It is not what we have done before we were born (nothing) but what was done a long time ago. It may not seem fair, but those are the rules.

We are not born sinners! We do not inherit sin!
The Bible says, "The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself." (Ezekiel 18:20)
"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." (1 John 3:4)
Notice "sin is the transgression of the law". You are right to conclude that if an infant is guilty of sin, they have transgressed Godf's law. So, in that case, which law did they or could they transgress? Give me book, chapter, and verse showing that law.
The truth, they have transgressed no law. They cannot even understand the concept of there being a law, much less choose to break it. They have not inherited guilt of sin either (according to the verses above). So a baby is not born as a sinner.

Exactly! No one is born a sinner, we don't carry the sins of others...that's is nonsense. The fact that Adam and Eve sinned only altered one thing...mankind would no longer live in Paradise, rather he'd live on his pre-appointed place until the Last Day: Earth.
Allah (God) knew man was weak, therefore when Adam and Eve sinned -and sincerely repented immediately thereafter- they were forgiven; but they (and the rest of mankind) would dwell in Earth forever until the Final Day when we would all be resurrected and brought back to life before Allah for the Day of Judgment.
By the way, guys, it's wrong what you say about Eve! It was actually Adam whom took the first bite, Eve just followed! Stop blaming her -or even Adam for anything- Allah knew they'd fall for Satan's whispers and suggestions! They made the decision of eating from it even though they knew they were allowed any tree in the Garden except the Tree of Knowledge. They simply had a moment of weakness and ate from it. Free will and weakness, guys! Difficult combination...
Islam teaches about everything from before Adam and Eve and even many coming events such as The Last Day and the Hereafter. To understand ourselves we must go to the BEST Teacher: our Creator.
You don't have to believe me; all questions about mankind, the angels, the jinn, and even our surroundings -yes! even science- everything we need to know: Read the Quran!!!!! It'll change your life!!!!! I promise!!!!

Who ever told you we were born sinners must be trying to start a cult. How could you be born a sinner when, if you think about it you made all the chose to sin at the time you sinned.

This is a concept of christianity that everyone inherited sins from Adam and Eve.. and so you are inherently a sinner.
In islam one is not considered inherently a sinner. Its your sins that make you a sinner. children upto the age of puberty are sinless and those who are insane are sinless till they regain their sanity.
So you have to be 'mentally fit' to accumulate sins which begins at the age of puberty.

The linage or genealogy of Human man is flawed from the beginning. From the first transgression of the first Humans then each ancestor or child and on down the line was corrupt account of sin. It is passed through the blood from one generation to the next. This is why Christ had to be conceived by the Holy Spirit and not conceived of a human in order to be a perfect accepted Sacrifice for Man's sin. It was through his perfect blood that mankind was able to find Salvation. From Adam man inherits a sinful nature but from Christ Blood Man finds salvation from that sinful bloodline.

We are all born sinners, but there comes a time of accountability. A baby is not held accountable for sins. It is only when you reach the age taht you know you are a sinner that you have to worry. It's not a sin to exhist, it's a sin to exhist in sin.

Existence is a gift from God. Do you share common traits with your parents? All of humanity is full of sin and if you are born in this corruptible flesh, you are born a sinner in need of a Savior.

Some believe that we are all born in sin due to Adam & Eve's getting kicked out of the garden. In reality, we are now all mortal due to that action. Christ had to pay the price for our sins so someday we can receive immortality and exhaltation.
We are not born in sin and really our sins do not count until we reach the age of accountability.
