Submitters Perspective, March 2011

Traligion, the mixing of cultural tradition into God's religion, is examined through Quranic examples such as man-made prohibitions, female infanticide, inherited idolatry, and hermitism, along with modern practices like Eid prayers and superstitions. Two questions are offered for telling tradition from religion. Letters from readers follow, including one who found the truth through a Quran placed in a Georgia library.
