ABSTRACT

“ As to what you have told us of prayer and almsgiving, that is easy ; but when you say, ‘ He that kills shall be killed, and he that steals shall have his hand cut off, and he that commits adultery shall be flogged or stoned,’ that is an ordinance which we will not lay upon ourselves. Begone elsewhere ! ”— Answer of the Lamtuna Tuareg to the Moslem missionary 'Abdalla.
