Jews second-class citizens

I would argue that "do unto others..." is not limited to theological traditions. It's basis, the idea of reciprocity,is found in nearly every ethical tradition on the planet.

Greetings abuayisha,

I would have to ask...
Does... and can... islam live and rule by that principle?

asalaam and blessings to you,

The very idea of Islamic jurisprudence poses a threat to modern secular countries. It's people who make laws for people not God. Religious laws are no real laws. They are religious recommendations that can be followed by believers as long as they don't violate any real laws made by elected representatives.

The caliphate can't be a model for today, because it supports discrimination.
