Heard a rumor that out near the Liquor store a building is going to be built where they will sell Pork products, by licence, just like the liquor store.
Anyone else heard this rumor?

Some Filipinas export Pork illegally from Doha everyday.

Take a close look at the ladies with their fat pork gluteus waiting at the airport ready to leave Doha after they have finished their contracts.

countries. I read menus carefully and always ask if something has pork in it. People are most accommodating in restaurants with dietary needs and preferences; and I haven't been steered wrong yet.

puking every time someone eats something that is unappealing to you! How will you travel and see the world? What did you do when you were in Australia?

Just because a place sells pork doesn't mean we have to eat it or all the restaurants that cater to us Muslims will close!

I left Qatar for one reason only, my qatari neighbor had a rooster that sang the british national anthem EVERY time.

He decided to kill him with a large fire cracler stuck in the butt of the rooster. Before the explosion, he shouted at that poor bird. You are an Infidel 'English' Rooster.

I always wonder what would happen If he had a cat or dog barking or meowing the American anthem?

referring to Paul as the self-appointed Apostle; just as we Muslims would be insulted if someone referred to our Prophet (saw) in that manner. How about a little sensitivity and respect -- especially during Ramadan. :-)

smoking has no clear injuction wethere it is haram or makrooh, some say haram some are makrooh (makrooh means undesirable)

alcohol has three stages of prohibition in the qur'an,(there is a little profit of drinking but the damage is more than the profit)( dont pray if you are under intoxicant ei; wine)(drinking wine is the handiwork of satan abstain from it ) pre islamic era drinking wine is a social menu for the gathering. early Islam, some companion of the prophet (pbuh) used to drink wine,some of then pray even under the influence of alcohol. when the last revelation came all brim of wine were broken and the wine overflow on the street of Madina.(i am open for correction)

while pork eating is clearly prohibited from the very beggining, not only in islam but in previous faith like of judaism.

in some islamic state allowing this two is under a very strictiest and monitored. my opinion...

Okay, edifis, if a human body dies it rotts in the grave. It will be soaked up by the surrounding soil which allows plants to grow, which are eaten by animals, which are eaten by humans. Therefore we eat atoms which used to be part of a human.

MD: Pigs are a complex organization of atoms, chicken also, humans, too. What's the difference?

biblically swine,pig,hoar is forbidden too. leveticus 11 but paul the self appointed apostle declare that all food that can be find in the market can be eat. so the meat butcher and retailer was so happy for that announcement.

except the 7th day adventist, ellen g white prohibit pork and other sea shells, crabs, scale less fish from thier menu.

the qur'an explicitly declare that swine meat is forbidden to eat, not only to eat but to have as herd or pet or whatsoever purpose it is.

No I don't mind anybody eating beef in my presence.

I once consumed beef but unwittingly. It was a buffet lunch and I was having a bit of this and bit of that. I didn't check the description of the meat. It was like a kebab, I had one small piece and it felt a bit different. I went and had a look and found that it was beef. I simply stopped eating that and trashed the remainder.I did feel bad about it but it didn't bother me for long because I ate it unwittingly.

By anonymous• 28 Aug 2009 12:51
