Secular people redesigning God's law? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Alain Jean-Mairet (Switzerland), Jul 26, 2004 at 09:06

It is always a good thing when people think about ways to make better laws. Trying to design a sharia respecting Prof. Robinson's principles has could be good, it could be bad. But considering Prof. Robinson's apparent blindness to the evident oddities of this project, one can but await a negative outcome.
