Saddam Hussein and his chauffeur were rolling down the highway when suddenly they hit a pig crossing the road. They killed it instantly.

Saddam tells his driver: "Go to da farm over dere and hexplain to da honer of da pig what appened."

One hour later, Saddam sees his driver coming back from the farm, his clothes all wrinkled, a bottle of wine in one hand and a cigar in the other. "

What appen to you?" He asks.

"Well, the farmer gave me a bottle of wine, his wife, the cigar and their 19 year old daughter made wild passionate love to me."

"My God! What did you tell dem?" asked President Hussein.

The driver answered: "Good evening, I am Saddam Hussein's chauffeur and I have just killed the pig."

This is pretty funny. I think it's probably allowable because it doesn't refer to the _you_know_what_ or for Harry Potter fans, the _conflict_who_must_not_be_named_.

As usual, however, it's P's call

Just so ya know, Salami - hardcore jews have the same policy. Some people would say Christians do too. None of what's going on is just a Muslim thing...

A number of fundamentalist Christians in the USA, especially some sects if the Penticostals keep the Levitical laws of the Old Testament, too.

I believe that following them before the advent of Refridgeration saved lots of lives. Some things, like grasshoppers, are O.K. but not pork chops.

Many Hindus are vegitarians.

It is indeed a fascinating subject, religion and diet.

...as long as it doesn't go the same way that politics went here recently.
