Islamic scholars consulted by a leading producer of cultivated meat say that the newfangled protein — which is grown from animal cells and doesn’t require animals to be slaughtered — can be halal, or permissible under Muslim law.

And the Jewish Orthodox Union this month certified a strain of lab-grown chicken as kosher for the first time, “marking a significant step forward for the food technology’s acceptance under Jewish dietary law,” as the Times of Israel put it.

    I once asked a Muslim neighbor over for dinner.

    They explained they could never eat anything I have prepared in my kitchen, because I eat pork.

    Way to go religion, keep making sure your arbitrary rules keep people apart.

      Religion was (and often still is) a way to keep poor people in check.

      The whole idea of heaven/hell, reincarnation, karma etc. is so people accept their shitty roles in life.

      Don’t worry that the king is living in luxury and you are suffering as it’ll all even out eventually.

      As you say preventing them mixing with other groups is also a great way to keep your cult going.
