Statement Attributed to Shahrur
“He rejects analogizing historical narratives to legal rulings, and considers applying analogy here a methodological error that has led to turning narratives into a source of coercive legislation.”
The witness states that analogizing historical narratives to legal rulings is rejected because doing so turns narratives into a source of coercive legislation.

Scope of the Claim
