You know, check it out.

Excellent.

I haven't read either one.

I'll give you both.

So, you know, people talk about cutting hands, right?

You know, let me show you a verse about cutting hands in the Bible, right?

This is a Sharia law, cutting hands.

So in the Sharia, in the laws of Islam, you don't cut hands just out of random, right?

If somebody is poor and they steal, you don't cut their hand.

If somebody is stealing something small that's less than one-fourth of a gold dinar, meaning it's not grand theft, then you don't cut their hands.

If somebody's a child, somebody's insane, somebody's got...

All those kind of things.

But if somebody's just out there trying to rob you and take major things from you, then you want to put such a law that it prevents that from happening.

But in the Bible, same chapter, it says, "...if two men fight together, and the wife of one of them draws near to rescue her husband..."

and from the hand of the one attacking him, puts her hand out and seizes the man by the genitals.

You shall cut off her hand, and your eye shall not pity her.

Why?

So if two men are fighting, let's say you and somebody gets into a fight, and your wife sees that a man's attacking you, to try to protect you, she tries to grab the guy's, you know, you cut off her hand.
