re: #326 SanFranciscoZionist

The principal that you follow the law of the country in which you live is also enshrined in halacha. Dina d’malchut dina—the law of the land is the law.

Can you give me sources for its authority in Islam? This is a crucial issue, and I’d like to be better armed for discussion.

That’s interesting. The LDS twelfth article of faith is:

12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers and magistrates, in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law.

That said, I can’t see a law mandating pork rinds and beer any time soon.
