    halal or haram

    I belive the monoglycerides in bread are produced by the yeast (a fungus; neither plant nor animal, so that would complicate things) during the baking process. Yeast is added to bread to cause it to plump, and during this process, yeast consumes glucose, and releases monoglycerides as products...

    Vote Against Banning Burqas in the Netherlands

    To be honest, I can sort of understand why they want to ban things that completely cover up a person's face ie burkas, ski masks, masks, etc. to help fight and prevent crime. If a person's face can be seen, then there is a much better chance that they will be recognized if, for example, they...

    What Islam Says about Christmas

    Hmm. Whilst I would agree that Christmas has become perhaps a little too much about the material goods here in the west, I do not believe that celebrating it in the manner that it is often celebrated in the west is inherently evil. I'm not Muslim, or overtly religious, so I cannot comment on...
