The question is, was it deliberate or not, and my belief was that it wasn't deliberate. Pansit is a filipino dish that is traditionally served with pork and pork liver. Any filipino knows that that is how it is served. Her only mistake is that she didn't know a muslim was ordering the pansit.

What I'm aghast at is this congresswoman's reaction, which is simply unacceptable. What would happen if she had instead shot or stabbed the waitress?

Is this excusable under the law?

I believe that we have already agreed, based on Meedo's excellent posts, that her behavior is not excusable under the law and that her understanding of Islamic law and the effects of mistakes in diet are contrary to what Islam teaches.

I am a bit surprised of the reaction of this Muslim woman . She said many wrong things about her faith.

First she said that eating pork wouldnt allow her to enter heaven. That is totally wrong . You can be a muslim and eat pork all your life and still go to heaven but after God punishes you for the sin of disobeying him and eating pork,


Then comes another crazy guy who says that eating pork is worse than having his wife raped. I dont know where the hell he brought that from!!! I would rather eat pork all my life and not get my wife come close to a potential rapist !!! Again , nothing to prove what they said from any Muslim theological source!!


I ate pork during one of my visits abraod from Egypt by Mistake. I knew i was eating pork after i ate about 75% of the dish . Then my collegue told me it was pork.

Well, i simply wiped my mouth put my fork and knife down ( yes i swallowed the bit in my mouth and didnt spit it or somthing !) Excused myself from the table emptied the pork left in the bin and then i had some desert.

Some muslims are ignorant of their own faith. Its sad but it doesnt make them what islam is .

The prophet said explicitly that a muslim is excused from mistake , forgetfulness and what they have been forced to do .


It means that if i eat pork by mistake i have no problem ( not even a little one) with God . If i forget to fast in Ramadan and ate all day from sunrise to sunset then i have no problem whatsoever and God considers me fasted that day. If somebody forces me to eat the dirtiest pig ever and drink its blood then God wouldnt even record it as a minor sin , infact he will reward me for my patience.


In the end , this lady over reacted because of the ignorance about her own faith. This shows that religious education is definetly flawed in where she lives.

Youre the most peaceful and nicest Muslim ive ever met in my entire life!
