I am not worried like some about my friends religious practices. Yep he's got some belief's that differ greatly from mine, but that's never kept us from being friend's. It is also why he returned to Egypt and why I live here.
Let me ask you this question: if you are Christian, do you adhere to the 10 commandments? That's Sharia, aka the path of God. And do you support the Constitution? That's quasi.
So how's your stance different? It is only the LEVEL of societal conviction that differs. I like our freedom to choose for ourselves the level of conviction to our individual beliefs. Other societies have more conviction, sometimes imposed.
I think that addresses your question
You REALLY can't see the difference between the 2???
If an educated person like you can't see the difference between Christianity and islam, and between the Constitution and Sharia, there is nothing that we can say that will do you any good...
