Yesterday i said to someoen. " I really fancy a bacon sarnie", completig forgetting this guy is a white English Moslem. he told me didn't have a problem with that but some ofthe others might. There are 3 white English moslems in the hotel and a pakistani couple.
If I am using a communal microwave i clean it before and after and so should they so i am not sure of the objection. But it got me thinking.

Sounds like a BS story you made up to make cheap shots. Assuming it's true though, it sounds like you're living in very cheap digs and you might as well get on with everyone. Beggars can't be choosers.

Unless the guesthouse has specific rules, I say screw them and would eat whatever I wanted. I do believe in tolerance, but I also believe that when in Rome..... If, as a Muslim, I could not stand the sight of pork or alcohol, I would move to a predominantly Muslim country, and that's that. Not sure where vegans would move, though I guess parts of India would do.

P.S.: you know that eating bacon is worse than smoking?

I am thinking I should do that. I would prefer to be able to walk out the street and not be distracted by women wearing low cut bikinis and seeing everything flop around. Plus it is a huge turn-on for me when I see a woman wearing a Hijab and a chador. I would enjoy dressing like that too. I think it should be law everywhere that people should be covered from head to toe in public.
