vegan vegetarians

[Guest guest]

I've been invited to join the following group, and I thought I'd share this

invitation because I believe that understanding leads to friendship.

 

You've are invited to join the Muslim-Vegetarians group

 

hosted by , a free, easy-to-use community service.

 

By joining Muslim-Vegetarians, you will be able to exchange

 

messages with other group members, store photos and files,

 

coordinate events and more.

 

Here's an introductory message from the group moderator:

 

------

 

Vegetarian Muslims need venues and ways to network with one another;

 

the Muslim Vegetarians list is such an online venue.

 

Muhammed reportedly said that it is better to eat milk than to eat

 

meat. But even if Muhammed was a lactovegetarian, more and more Muslims

 

are discovering veganism. Wherever vegetarian Muslims are on the

 

spectrum, and regardless of the rationale, this is a good place to make

 

friends and discuss common values, background, and outlooks.

 

 

 

The Western press and the media won't discuss it, nor will Al-Jazeera

 

or the Arabic media and press. But Muslims may bring an intensity of

 

personal discipline which might not be visible in what passes for the

 

animal rights and vegetarian movements in Europe and North America.

 

 

 

Please reflect thoughtfully and talk openly about how Islam points

 

towards vegetarianism and is optimized by it, and how vegetarian values are

 

enriched by what Muslim vegetarians bring to the community and the

 

vegetarian table.

 

 

 

Please be prepared to TALK, to SHARE, to HELP on this list at BOTH a

 

Muslim and a vegetarian, not as just one or the other.

 

 

 

And PLEASE visit the website: http://www.IslamVeg.com/ and think

 

about what you read there.

 

 

 

" There is no doubt that a vegetarian diet is healthier and beneficial

 

to health in lowering weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood

 

sugar. Our Prophet was mostly vegetarian... "

" Islam, a religion of compassion and moderation, acknowledges animals'

 

rights and emphasizes humans' responsibility for their welfare. A

 

vegan vegetarian diet is healthful, promotes mental and physical

 

well-being, and is cruelty-free. It does not include animal parts or products

 

such as eggs and dairy products. I urge every Moslem and nonMoslem to

 

become a vegan vegetarian. "
