re: #100 SanFranciscoZionist

Sharia is threatening for exactly the reason halacha has been threatening. Anyone living by an independent religious code is, sooner or later, suspected of conniving to enforce it upon the majority, and of following it in lieu of the law of the land.

And for anyone who’s planning to tell me how sharia and halacha are two totally different things, and it’s totally different, you are totally mistaken.

So “halacha” is religious law based on … Torah or Talmud or both? (I vaguely remember the North Beach Lizard talking about this at the coffeehouse in Oakland)
