I think some of you confuse the word "Muslim" with "Islam." And many of you don't realize there are different sects of Muslims, just as there are different sects of Jews and Christians. Each sect has its own rules, and its own interpretation of its broader religion's rules.

There are some Muslim sects that are permitted to drink alcohol. It's not common among Muslim sects, but just like with Kosher law - different sects interpret the laws differently.

I've heard that too...my Italian in-laws never called red sauce 'gravy'...but ran into a few FBI's that did

guess it all depends upon which part of Italy one's family came from
