Thereupon the king said: 'Why make such a difference between Mahomedans and Christians? It does not appear fair to favour the Mahomedans so greatly and show such harshness to the Christians.' Mīrzā Kuchak began to give the rein to his eloquence, exalting the Mahomedans and depreciating the Christians. Among other arguments, he said that the Mahomedans of Persia were faithful to God, that they adored the great 'Alī, that there was a great difference between Mahomedans and Christians, both in this world and in the next, for Christians could never get to heaven, being infidels. To preach sound doctrine and afford a good example in this world, it was necessary to decide cases as he had stated, nor were Christians worthy of anything better. - [Previous: 39.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.2.5) - [Next: 39.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.2.7) - [Up: 39.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.2.6) · Pramāṇa
