First we aren't really talking about a modern metropolis so that's not the right analogy. Its a tribal society so its more like a particular street gang has a certain territory. They have your belongings and on top of that, it is likely that your belongings are actually part of the caravan and being sold elsewhere. So you interrupt the caravan to a) prevent your belongings from being traded and b) to recoup some of the loss. > The four months are regarded in a special category in Islam.

Did the raids occur in Rajab or not? __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-549409-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
