Diet.

This is coolbert:

From a comment by Alexander to my blog :

"are you sure about dairy product + meat (without pork) being "haram"? This sounds like kashrut to me..."

Alexander is CORRECT. Dairy product + meat being forbidden in the same dish or at the same table is kashrut [Jewish kosher law]. Islam does allow meat and dairy in the same dish or at the same table.

"Muslims can mix meat and milk."

Jewish kosher law and Islamic dietary practices are more or less generally the same. But NOT identical. Somethings permissible under kosher are not by Islamic standards and the other way around.

An American diet, to a devout Muslim, MUST present difficulties. Especially with regard to processed food. A lot of processed food, Rice Krispie Treats for instance, contain a gelatin that is made from by products of the butchering of hogs. NOT allowed under either Jewish or Islamic law.

The American terrorist and traitor Adam Gadahn [a/k/a Azzam al Amriki] first was exposed to Islam through the business of his father. The father of Adam, a self-described "hippie", raised and sold halal goats to the Islamic community of Los Angeles. Goat, raised in a halal manner, is especially sought out by Muslims living in the U.S.
