I'm sure hooahguy or any of the other practising Jews residing here are fully up to the task of marrying thier older brother's wife should the brother die, banging the wife and naming thier first-born son after the older brother. Or selling thier under aged daughter off to permanent servitude with the intent of selling her as a wife.

Those are ageless RULES, commands by GOD.

It's all about interpretation and appearently Christianity and Judaism get a lot of leeway when it comes to interpretation, but Islam is trapped to it's millenia old ways. Or so some people claim.
