Re: Christain Friend...Dukh
Can I interrupt this thread with a question?
...I understand the reasons why Muslims cannot eat certain things like pork or drink alcohol. But what makes the same kind of meat halaal or not-halaal? Its something to do with how the animal is killed? Or that a special prayer is said? Can a muslim make a non-halaal meat halaal by saying a prayer or something? Sorry for the ignorance but I am curious about this....
one further question....eating in the halaal way is very similar to the jewish rules of eating. But why can Muslims mix meat and dairy while this is very strictly forbidden in the Jewish religion? Really "kosher" jewish homes even have 2 stoves and 2 sets of dishes! The wealthier ones have 4 sets of dishes - 2 "everyday" dish sets and 2 fancy ones! Ugh! how difficult that must be!
