Gross) Newsgroups: soc.religion.islam Subject: Re: Religion primer Message-ID: <1991Feb3.021353.18001@nntp-server.caltech.edu> Date: 3 Feb 91 02:13:53 GMT Sender: bes@nntp-server.caltech.edu (Behnam Sadeghi) Organization: California Institute of Technology, Pasadena Lines: 11 Approved: bes@tybalt.caltech.edu I have already sent email directly to the original poster of this thread. The more he studies of about Islam and Judaism, the more he will see that they are more alike than different. For example, the laws on ethical (non-destructive) behavior during a war--posted last week--are shared by the two religions. If the original poster is trying to understand the current situation in the Mideast, he will learn more by studying our history of human frailty than by directing his interests to an examination of religions in a competitive context. --Michelle Gross mgross@Nosc.mil
