  (Greetings, are you still discussin how to deal w/Quran references or has that been settled? I see strong stylistic advantages and no policy problem (censorship or otherwise) with putting most scriptural citations in footnotes. Indeed, the Jesus article cited above, as exemplifying in-line references, also has plenty in the notes. I'm glad you all agree on the need for secondary sources. But I do wonder if there may be an over-emphasis on the Quran rather than subsequent sources of Islamic law. In good articles on Jewish law, there tend to be relatively few quotes from Bible or Mishnah passages and much more from later rabbinic literature. Hope you don't mind the interruption.  |  )
