The Muslim guest helped himself generously to the meat without
verifying whether it was 'halal'. Therefore, by his own definition, he
is NOT a true Muslim.
Can we then assume that he knows enough about the real meanings of
Islamic practises? Would his shallow understanding not be a distortion
of some rubbish preached to him by an Imam who is unable to keep his
congregation on the right path?
Surely to take aggressive action based on such heresay is not the
Hindu way!
