Folks pls take a look at this. One of our comrades could use some help rn. My favourite person on Lemmy, sharing the link or boosting for engagement would be helpful too. ❤️
Umm… invite the dude, they don’t need to drink to be social. And it’s the invite that counts in most cases, makes them feel included, just assuming makes you the asshole.
Muslims and alcohol are like Hindus and beef. For context, at a work potluck with our hospitalist staff, which was primarily people from the India/ South East one of the doctors asked about one of dishes that had beef, and then said, ‘yeah but this may be from cows that weren’t holy, sometimes you have to try them to tell’ he then tried some of the dish(I feel like it was a beefy chilli cheese dip) and then said ‘oh no, these cows weren’t the holy kind’ and then he got a big scoop of it on his plate.
Everyone got a good laugh.
Like my Muslim friends who try the bacon, just to not be rude, but don’t tell wife. Then wife comes and does same with same excuse and says don’t tell my husband, lol.
He’s the prime minister of the uae. Bit busy these days
Rookie mistake, invite him to hang out, he can be the designated driver.
Kinda rude, I know of Muslims that like beer and pork scratchings. Plus even if they are a strict follower they could have a non alcoholic drink.
Not all Moslems are strict about alcohol. All generalization are wrong. Every single one.
Do take a look at the link folks. Its one of our most prolific Lemmy posters. Lemmy simply would not be the same without him. A vital pillar of the community.
…but also because he was an asshole.
