The Democratic Presidential candidates are avoiding these issues in order to cultivate support among White Americans. — Howard Zinn

In my view, to sort these issues out one needs a very clear and consistent understanding of the nature of property rights and ownership. — Stephan Kinsella

As a legal text, the Qur'an reflects its origins in a tribal or clan-based society, particularly on issues concerning inheritance, male guardianship, the validity of a woman's testimony in court, and polygamy. This is even more obvious in the hadith, the compilation of sayings attributed to the Prophet or documenting his actions. This combination of the Qur'an and the example of Muhammad forms the basis of sharia.

When conflicts of interpretation arise, scholars consult the Qur'an and hadith. — Ayaan Hirsi Ali
