Popular Diets - Islamic Dietary Laws

Popular Diets - Islamic Dietary Laws: - Sent using Google Toolbar

Islamic dietary laws provide a set of rules defining what Muslims may eat in their diet and related issues...

These laws specify which foods are halal (lawful) and which are haram (unlawful) based on rules found in the Koran and according to some, declarations by religious leaders.

Animals used for food must be slaughtered ritually according to Islamic law. Islamic ritual slaughter involves cutting the jugular veins and carotid arteries as does kosher ritual slaughter. Some Moslems deem kosher meat to be acceptable, others do not. Hunted animals may also be eaten. Their carcass must hang upside down to let the blood drain out.
