| Message | To the Honourable Shura, The falsehoods spread by foreign enemies of the Umma are to dangerous to allow any liberalisation of these laws we fear. Enemies would only be too willing to take advantage of these laws to confuse and abuse the minds of the Umma. We reject this petition. Caliph Mukrin ibn Ahmed |
