“Belief in one god, praying, charity, the five pillars, ethical moral objectives and messages in the Koran, the history of Islam. There are basic tenants in Islam that we universally believe in but I think it's very naive to think that Sharia, that legal rulings are derived in a vacuum, that people do not bring their own histories and politics and social pledges to bear when they interpret the Koran.” PeopleThinkingBelieveBeliefSocialMoralFiveBearsPrayingMessagesCharityIslamObjectivesEthicalNaiveRulingPledgeVacuumsPillarsPraying To GodTenantsSharia Author:Mark Durie
