Rayaan, you have suspicions about non muslims offering Halal products? What's the deal, do we godless heathens have the market cornered on impropriety? I mean, roger, the thought that I could somehow tank your heavenly ascension by slipping some pork into your cobb salad is alluring, but I don't think I could do it to ya.

Speaking of food, and Halal. What portion of the genetic code of a pig is haraam? Pigs and plants share a shitload of genes. And how are we to distinguish the haraam code of swine vs other ungulates? Possibly an unfair question, since those early muslims who decided this stuff had no idea wtf a gene was, but that is, in essence, what they were ruling against. I just wonder, at what point will these prohibitions need to bend? For reference, we share about 60% of our code as human beings with bananas. Is eating people haraam? Would eating a banana be 60% haraam? Is there some fee that I could pay to absolve myself of this?
If it weren't for pigs, I wouldn't be here, they were the biggest game in the part of the world my family hails from, not alot else to go with. Surely Allah saw that coming?
( I love pigs, long line of pig lovers, hell, my bronze age ancestors wore pig crests on their heads going into battle, and blew into pig shaped horns to make sure the enemy knew they were about to get fucked up)
