First, about Turkey, the Islamic nation yearning for admission to the EU.
Excerpt from this BBC News article:
Meanwhile, right here in the United States, the Beasleys of Baltimore ran into a problem with getting a loan for a Church's Chicken franchise. Why? Because the Beasleys wanted to serve pork for breakfast. See "Shari'ah Law and Church's Chicken" over at THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS for the details.
Could we see a ban on pig farming in the United States? If shari'ah finance controls agricultural loans, yes.
Breakfast just won't be the same for me.

Pig Farming In Turkey And Banning Pork In Baltimore, Maryland
First, about Turkey, the Islamic nation yearning for admission to the EU.
Excerpt from this BBC News article:
For more than 40 years [Lazari Kozmaoglu, possibly the last pork butcher in Istanbul] has been selling pork to his own fast-shrinking Christian community, to defiant Muslims, and to foreigners. Now, he is being squeezed out of business.Maybe the EU will swallow that taqiyya. I won't.
