Is mixing religious laws to run the government primitive? Sharia?
I'm not talking terrorist ran war time governments. Just mixing religion and government.
Not that factual evidence would change anyone's faith, but here is a new twist on an old game.

They had tried to get around the religious laws and customs and ended up killing their...

I posit they are all literalist like YEC Christians, and I could be wrong.
But I have not yet met one that does not believe god told muhammad all the content, and thus the whole book is true and correct.
Here is your chance to explain.

Is it true you cannot teach some old dogs new tricks?
I will say it is very true based on my observations when debating old people.
