That's silly. Just because they don't drink or eat pig themselves, doesn't mean they should be able to inconvienience others. It's the line where religious tolerence slips into hyper-sensitivity.

Also, I'm a big fan of the Quran's teachings and a lot of the Muslim faith in general, but the reason they don't eat pork is stupid. If you don't want to eat it because pigs have the intelligence of a 4 year old child, that's fine. Not eating it because pigs are a dirty animal would have been completely relevant 400 years ago, but is just outdated in modern society. These days, if the pig you're getting is dirty, the other meat you'll be getting will most likely be just as unclean.
