Whereas Christianity teaches that we should render unto Caesar
what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s* — allowing for a
non-theocratic political tradition to develop in the West,
culminating in the principles of civil and religious liberty
in the American founding — Islam teaches that to disagree with
or even reinterpret the Koran’s 6000 odd verses, organized into
114 chapters or Suras and dealing as fully with law and politics
as with matters of faith, is punishable by death.
*Ps 24:1 The Lord owns the earth and all it contains, the world
and all who live in it.
