mixed-i understand where you're coming from but what i'm saying is-do people who come into your household think they're coming into a muslim household or not?
No disrespect, but if they come to your house thinking you're all muslims then i guess you've got to give up the pork so they don't know any different.
No, I would not serve them pork if they stayed with me, but they're fully aware of what they're entering into when they step foot inside my front door. It's a muslim household. there's no pork, full stop.
stitch-yes you should be able to do, eat, say, etc what you want in your own home, but unfortunately things are never so cut and dry. If you have a guest who's staying, you should make allowances if their religion is involved. E.g. if my inlaws know i'm coming round, they shouldn't eat a plate of pork chops in my face like they have done.
If i invite someone into my home and i don't want to respect their religion or beliefs (or i couldn't because it clashed with mine), to be honest, i wouldn't invite them in the 1st place.
I think you should always make allowances for your guests, and if you cant-don't have them round. If my inlaws insist they want to eat pork in their own home (which they have insisted), that's fine, just don't expect me to sit there and watch it!!!It's because of their attitude that I avoid going round there. They wouldn't die for not having eaten pork that day, it's their choice. They could have eaten it when I was gone but their lack of respect for not just my religion, but for me, means that I don't visit them anymore.
All this is just my own opinion-not writing it to offend anyone
