[Faith-talk] Islamic Shariah and the strategy of prohibition.

[Doris and Chris]

Hey, little brother! I am intrigued to learn about shariya law from a 
muslim perspective, not from a archaic traditionalist one but from 
one who actually lives in, with, and under the law. I assume a 
certain Ms. Sarah is familiar with the principles of Shariya law? *smile*

on the other hand, Christians throughout history have set themselves 
apart by going against tradition by caring for the sick and injured, 
by caring for those infected by his, even  by the ebola virus, taking 
the risk of infection and death by following Jesus;s  command to care 
for the sick and injured to consider others higher than oneself, to 
give more than asked for: to give the sick man not just a shirt but a 
coat to warm him in.

I am curious to hear how you interpret this command from Jesus, or 
even more so how Ms. Sarah does. she is very quiet o n this list and 
hope she will speak her own mind. I know you do not keep her from 
doing so. *g*

Hugs

Doris and Chris
