Vegan! According to the Koran she should be stoned to death!

Because the most “holy” day in islam is all about slitting the throat of an animal and having it bleed out in proper fashion.

[Berosus]

This is the first time I have heard of any religion being against a vegan diet.

[Secret Agent Man]

outside of israel, who worked like hell to have good growing fields, the middle east isn’t really known for being a bountiful place for growing crops to eat.

what little scrub is over there is given to animals.

> According to the Koran she should be stoned to death! <

I looked it up. She is supposed to stone herself to death.

worthless blog

[17th Miss Regt]

Then at least she is a self starter!

[dfwgator]

Vegan! According to the Koran she should be stoned to death!

But she would not feel so all alone....

[Tennessee Nana]

Everybodies gonna get stoned...

:)

[GnuThere]

Stones are vegan.

[Dr. Sivana]

This is the first time I have heard of any religion being against a vegan diet.

I can't picture Orthodox Jews not eating lamb on Passover.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Bet there are lots of things she keeps secret from her family....so they don’t kill her.

[metmom]

Like I’m supposed to care about her angst over being vegan and muslim?

No.

[KarlInOhio]

Her whole body language changed. It was like I'd murdered someone

If you had murdered someone she would have danced in the street and passed out candy like a palestinian on 9/11.

[a fool in paradise]

Islam is OCD writ large. Obsessive compulsive disorder.

[BobL]

I’ve never supported honor killings, but I have to admit that I do feel bad for her mom. My guess is that mom wants HEALTHY grandchildren.

There are 8-10 kinds of meat 🍖 There are thousands of vegetables legumes nuts seeds and fruits 🍎 Try everything! That’s my advice to You ! ……………………………………………………………………………………………. There's only thing I will not eat and that's anything with wings and that's simply because I do not like it. The last time I ate chicken was when I was 10 years old in 1955.

Most food turns me off. I eat almost exclusively chocolate!
