Interpreting the Koran.

The Koran is at the same time reli.
gious and political code. All Mussul-
mans admit it to be so, and it cannot be
expected therefore that, since their reli-
gion is connected with their national
policy, they will not make use of the
former TO carry out the latter. Their
policy may be briefly defned-namely,
the maintenance of their faith in Its
purity by exclusiveness and isolation,
the emancipation of the countries which
have fallen under Christian rule, the
determination of the infidel nations and
races who by refusing TO pay tribute for
the redemption Of their blood are pro-
pouced by the prophet to be in "a state
of open rebellion against the law and
consequently deserving of death En-
lightened and tolerant Mohammedans
will endeavor to palliate these precepts
by quotations from the Koran and Hadis
