&gt; Islam is not just a religion. It is a very deliberately structured guide for the entirety of society. &quot;Full-stack&quot; social control as we on HN might call it. The Quran is a complete manual that details everything expected and required of a good Muslim, from the food that can be eaten to the appearance of your body.<p>Christianity is not any different.<p>&quot;You shall not cut your hair round or trim your beard&quot;. 3rd book Mose, 19:27<p>Read the Bible, and you’ll find definitions for when to eat what, how long to preserve what, how to punish crimes, etc.
