| Aug 16, 2012 at 21:04 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | @Ansari ooh, interesting. Thank you. That is not a mainstream position, but is very intriguing. Thanks. There is no prescription for that - in many ways it sounds like a cultural mix of Islamic and Christian traditions. | |
| Aug 16, 2012 at 19:07 | comment | added | Ansari | @MarcGravell Oops sorry - search on that page for "slaughter" :) | |
| Aug 16, 2012 at 19:03 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | @Ansari any particular bits you wanted to draw my attention to? | |

| Jul 28, 2012 at 19:05 | comment | added | TRiG | @MarcGravell, To be honest, the distinction between Jewish ritual law and Jewish moral law is somewhat arbitrary. The Jews themselves make no such distinction. | |
| Jul 22, 2012 at 7:09 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | does this mean that Islam is applying a definition of Christian that is very different to what Christians would use? In particular there would never have been a time when that sentence could make sense -to Christians when applied to the US... | |
| Jul 21, 2012 at 22:42 | comment | added | Ansari | @MarcGravell Ah that would just be sloppy phrasing from me then. In any case, the principle for the allowance is based on theory (however old), not necessarily current practice. If current practice contradicts theory (as it seems to today) then contemporary scholars might issue an exception to the general principle. | |
| Jul 21, 2012 at 22:37 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | Yes, very few Christians consider Jewish ritual law to apply. I guess my confusion is why this view today (rather than in 300 CE) would be raised as "Christian practices". Still, we'll see what comes up on xtain.SE | |
| Jul 21, 2012 at 22:25 | comment | added | Ansari | @MarcGravell Indeed a fascinating question. My (very weak) understanding is that the majority of today's Christians don't consider themselves bound by Old Testament law, whereas in the first three to four centuries of Christianity (before Paul's theology was codified as law and anything opposed to it was considered heresy) there were plenty of Christians who did follow Jewish law (e.g. James and his church and other groups). I believe the "Islamic" view is that true Christians are still bound be Jesus' (peace be upon him) law, and he followed Jewish law as far as we know. | |
| Jul 21, 2012 at 22:09 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | it is an interesting question. I don't think it is explicitly Biblical, and the only references I can find to that are all actually on Islamic sites. If you don't mind, I'll ask it as a question over on Christianity.SE - it is intriguing (here). | |
| Jul 21, 2012 at 21:59 | comment | added | Ansari | @MarcGravell I believe some of the Eastern Christianity sects have some ritual requirements, in particular, the mention of God's name. For example, in the Syriac-language Nomocanon of Barhebraeus (d. 1286), a Christian butcher is instructed to recite the phrase ba-shma d'elaha haya, “In the name of the living God.” Gregorius Barhebraeus, Nomocanon, ed. Paul Bedjan (Paris: Harrassowitz, 1898); (citation taken from muslimmatters.org/2012/06/22/…) | |
