I am saddened to hear that people don’t have any issues while eating non-halal meat. It is just wrong and goes against any Islamic teachings. If Jews can be strict about eating only Kosher then why can’t Muslims put their foot down and ask for zabihah meat. Islam is a complete way of life and these details, however small they may seem, make or break a Muslim’s belief.
Pork/pig is forbidden (haram/non-halal) so don’t evven think that you can make it halal by slaughtering it in the Islamic way.
Personally, I don’t like beef so I don’t eat it but whatever meat I eat/will eat in future should be zabihah at all costs. NO argument about it!
Allah has given Muslims good things to eat an has given them the way to use them in a proper manner. Their food will never run out as many non-Muslims will keep on eating the meat that is not supposed to be eaten by us like hog, pig, whales (esp. in Japan).
Please, please think about this before considering eating out in places that don’t have proper meat meant for Muslims. Those places/dishes are not your friends if they don’t consider your wishes. This is applicable to alcohol, drugs, too which are clearly not meant for Muslims in any situatuion.

:k:reason. There are clear rules mentioned according to Shariah and still many people pick and choose what suits their needs and comfort.
Don’t worry about it though. In the end, we are all answerable for what we do, eat, drink, etc.. one’s responsible for their own actions.
