As Moslems, they should have touched no meat which had not died by the knife; but there is a proverb about Chinese Moslems which gives a good idea of their attitude to Koranic law. "Three Moslems are one Moslem; two Moslems are half a Moslem; one Moslem is no Moslem." In other words, the eyes of man matter more than the eyes of God. | lit.salon
