Very dangerous precedent.

The bloke cannot even get his facts right. Muslims are NOT forbidden to touch or cook pork or any other non-halal foods. They are only forbidden to eat these foods!

Also about time these stupid rules on kosher and halal were abandoned, they were simply about good hygiene - nothing to to with pleasing The Great Invisible One!

From what I know, some sects of Islam *are* forbidden. As there are many sects, perhaps the ones you know of don't have a problem with it.

This I agree with.

Though meat sucks anyway.

Not checked the Koran - but pretty sure that eating is the only no no! However some islamic sects think that killing non-muslims is great fun - so who knows how some people will interpret the rules!

BTW sucking meat is great - you should try it!

I just checked some translations - they were rather oddly phrased, and kind of unclear to me, but it does appear that the sects that seem to ban you from touching them are incorrect - you just can't eat them.

But, as you say, people will (mis)interpret things in very different ways to what you might.

The lawsuit still makes me sigh.

After 5 minutes I'm finally stopped rolling, laughing on the floor, going to see how many times I can drop that phase in conv's
