1. Art. Mainly ornaments since all other art is forbidden to muslims. These restrictions influence hardly on all other traditional arts, e.g. literature.\n2. Trade. People being today muslims formerly (at non-muslim time) were great at trades and also at arts. Because of current islamic restrictions, muslim trade consists mainly of ornaments...

This is the right category to ask seeing as there are certain dietary restrictions that both Jews and Muslims MUST adhere to.  Anything from a pig is forbidden including anything made from pig leather.  They can't even keep one of those little Vietnamese Pot Bellied pigs as a pet.

Food.  Hopefully kosher food, but that depends on how kosher the Jewish person in question happens to be.\n\nFor those who keep kosher all fresh fruits and vegetables are kosher (unless contaminated by bugs).  Fish is kosher if it has both scales and fins.  Meat from properly kosher killed and inspected beef, chicken, turkey, etc is all acceptable.  \n\nPrepared, boxed and canned food will carry a kosher mark on the package if it is kosher.

No, and nevermind what the website says about that, they are in business to sell those products.\n\nGo by the book and don't eat anything that is not on the allowed foods list.

Read a little further into the bible, and you will find that God specified many things that He made for man's benifit.\n\nLooks like you already have a bible handy, so this shouldn't be a problem for you.\n\nThere is a list of foods in various religions, on the second webpage.

Only fruit from the forbidden tree in Eden could not be eaten.\n\nToday's apples don't come from the forbidden tree.   Therefore, there's no problem with eating them.\n\nIn fact, Christianity encourages people to take care of their health, as our bodies are "temples of the Spirit."   Since apples are healthy food, eating them is actually something Christianity would encourage.\n\n.

In folklore terms, eating the meat of the pig is said to contribute to lack of morality and shame, plus greed for wealth, laziness, indulgence, dirtiness and gluttony. We insult a person by calling him or her a "Pig" when they demonstrate these characteristics. Muslims are forbidden by God to eat the meat of the pig (pork). \n\nThis is detailed in verses 2:173, 5:3, 6:145, and 16:115 of the Qur'an. An exemplary verse is quoted here: "He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Meaning of the word "Halal": It means "permissible". In the Arabic language it refers to anything that is permissible under Islam.\n\nAdherents of Islam maintain that in order for food to be considered halal, it must not be a forbidden substance and any meat must have been slaughtered according to traditional guidelines set forth by the Sunnah, known as dhabiĥa or Zabihah. This is the strictest definition of halal.\n\nThe slaughtering process, known as dhabiĥa, is as follows.\n\n■ Pre-slaughter\n\nPrior to the slaughter, the animal's eyes and ears are checked to ensure that the animal is healthy and suitable for slaughter. If the animal is deemed to be healthy, it is first given water to drink (in order to quench its thirst).\n\n■ Standard recitation\n\nThe act of slaughtering an animal is an act that, according to the Quran, should be preceded by the mention of God (see Islamic Concept of God). Invoking the name of God at the moment of sacrifice is believed by some to serve as acknowledgement of God's right over all things. Furthermore, this invocation gives permission to the one performing the sacrifice to continue and endows the slaughterer with a sense of gratitude for God's creation, even prior to partaking in the meat of the animal.\n\nThus, the slaugther itself is preceded by the words "In the name of God, God is the Greatest Bismillah, Allahu Akbar.  The common phrase "Bismillah al Raĥman Al Raĥim" (In the name of God the Beneficent the Merciful) is not used here, because the act is one of subduement, not of mercy. Rather, the words Allahu Akbar (God is the Greatest) are used. This is to reiterate that the animal was only subdued for consumption by God's divine design and command, and is being slaughtered according to the guidelines prescribed.\n\n■ Slaughter\n\nAccording to Islamic tradition, the conventional method used to slaughter the animal involves cutting the large arteries in the neck along with the esophagus and trachea with one swipe of an unserrated blade. This method of slaughter serves a dual function: it provides for a relatively painless death and also helps to effectively drain blood from the animal. The latter is important because the consumption of blood itself is forbidden in Islam. Muslims consider this method of killing the animal to be cleaner and more merciful to the animal. During the blood draining process, the animal is not handled until it has died.\n\n■ Meat offered by Jews and Christians: Permissible for Muslims?\nPlease refer to my answer here:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkpjqQs4H1NiKHONHPC5.6Psy6IX?qid=20061025160225AAqwI4D

I am Muslim, and I think you should re-post your Question in the "Religion and Spirituality" section under Society and Culture. You can also post it agian in the Travel Section underneath the country where you man is from. \n\nI am not married, but my friend is married to an Arab man and she is very, very VERY happy. He seems to be a very nice and loving man. \n\nIf your man is Muslim, then that makes a BIG difference. When you re-post your question, specify what religion he is..If he is a Muslim, then he will probably want you to convert to Islam, but you should only do that if you truly believe in Islam--dont covert for him, only convert for God.\n\nYou probably will No longer be able to cook with or eat Pork. Muslims and Arabs DO NOT eat pork, and we consider Pork to be filthy, nasty, and gross. Do not bring bacon, ham, and or anything made with pork into the home--that is a big No-No. YOU should also STOP eating it--as he may not want to kiss you or be intimate with somebody who eats pork. (I know I wont).\n\nHe will probably want you to not allow smoking or drinking in the home--those things are forbidden and considered a form of disrespect. \n\nI dont mean to sound stereotypical, but I've heard that Arab men are possesive. He probably will try to limit the time you spend with other people--but if he tries that--stand up for yourself. Dont be rude or be mean, but make it clear that you will do the things you enjoy--without him sometimes.\n\nI must tell you this: you must ask him if he wants more than 1 wife. I'm serious. I'm Islam, a man who is financially able, is able to have up to 4 wives. Even though polygamy is banned in America--many, many Arab men have 2 wives. I know this for a fact. In the mosque, I've personally known people who had more than 1 wife...So, before you marry him--ask him about this. You have the right to have a "Marriage Contract" which states all of these things--whether or not you will allow more than 1 wife. If you do not want him to marry another woman--say 10 years from now--you can say NO, but you must tell him this BEFORE you get married. \n\nYou should also bring up the issue of what will happen in case of divorce. Most Arabs, I think, believe that the Man--not the woman--should get custody of children after a divorce. So, make it clear how you would raise your children--if he is Muslim, the children are required to be raised as Muslims. \n\nBefore you marry him--this is what you should do: Tell him to take you back to his home country for a visit..Meet his family and see how they make you feel. They might be cold toward you because you are not Arab/Non Muslim--but see if you can form some kind of a courteous  relationship. If the women are cold to you--dont get too upset. Arab women are very cold. I'm a Muslim but I'm not Arab--and Arab women dont even speak to me when I say hello. It gets on my nerves that they act so cold--but you cant live your life worrying about them--just be polite, be happy, and move on..After all, these will be your children's relatives. See how it goes. \n\nGood Luck

Thank you for taking the time to take into consideration your friends dietary requirements.\nThere is no problem if china has had non halal food on it in the past as long as it has been washed and cleaned.\nAll i would say is when preparing the food again use utensils pots,plates that have not been in contact with non halal foods whilst cooking both halal and non halal at the same time and make sure they are clean.\nWhen preparing a buffet if you left out pork and just make your guest of any other meats that are not halal.\nHave a lovely get together with your friends in the future.

No.  And they serve pork.  But you can ask for your child to have no pork if you like.  They can't do anything about the Halal beef, other than possibly (a) suggest that you send lunch for your child yourself or (b) suggest a vegetarian lunch instead.\n\nThere are 2 Muslim students at my school.  One of them eats vegetarian, because his parents do not want him to eat beef that isn't Halal.  The other one eats other beef, but just eats a special diet of "no pork" -- so that when we have sausage, pepperoni or ham, they will give her something else.\n\nWe are a state school, however, and your school may not do this for your children.  They may simply tell you that you have to provide your own lunches if you have this dietary requirement.\n\nHope it helps.

Ashkenazi Jews cannot eat rice, beans, and other legumes.  Peanuts are a maybe okay since they didn't exist in Europe - they got added to the list because they're techinically legumes.  It's the dumbest Jewish custom ever.\nOnce forbidden grains, like wheat and barley, were stored near beans and rice, and so eating these products became forbidden.  Sephardic Jews are much smarter and don't have these silly prohibitions.\nI want bread, pasta, rice, mmm.... passover is more difficult than fasting . . .
