The Baha'i Studies Listserv Oh, that's interesting. Someone from Atlanta steals your stuff. You can't find him. You just go and steal some stuff from a person who is traveling to or from Atlanta. The four months are regarded in a special category in Islam. Nether did Muhammad abrogate the four months thing. Actually many of the pre-Islamic rite and rituals are carried over right into Islam. Besides, being deceitful is not terribly ethical behaviour.
