LOL I should have clarified that I am no longer a vegitarian since I reverted, as I now occasionaly eat Halal meat. However I was a vegetarian for many years prior to reverting. But, my reason for being a vegan was because I lost trust in the foods sold in the store, and at that time had never even heard of a Halal market.

I'm in Austin. the City is very progressive and very tolerant of all faiths. There are 2 local Halal markets that I know off. Both purchase localy raised meat, raised on Muslim farms. The Local Imams do the actual slaughtering, Meat is not available everyday of the week for that reason.

Austin is not that big of a city, Based on percentages we make up a fair share of the population. One funny thing here is many of the Muslims here are originaly from Pakistan and they often get mistaken as being Mexican.

I have lived in other parts of Texas, but I was not Muslim at that time. Most of the Muslims in Texas seem to be in the larger Cities such as Houston and Dallas. There has been some periodic problems in Dallas. Then again just about every minority group has had problems there.

There is a good sized Muslim population in Tyler Texas. The only problem they seem to have there, is one of the local churches keeps putting up Billboards that say "Allah is not God"

Nope getting Halaal food is no problem in the Austin area, and the people are very tolerant. There were some brief problems shortly after 9/11 and some people still have some misconceptions. My daughter wears the Hijab and quite often people will stop her and ask her if her Husband beats her.

She was Muslim before she met her Husband.

Marshallah. I think there should be more people trained at slaughtering in the ISLAMIC way, so their would be more halal food available.

When I am outside I am mostly vegeterian, (especially in school canteen, even though they sell halal food sometime) unless I know the place and the people.

True, even here in england. Where I live (MILLWALL area in LONDON) we use to have problems with BNP (skinheads), but now they have died down or relocated.

That is a bit of a negation is it not? Unless if it is the word "god" (small "g")

MArshallah, may Allah alway's guide her and keep her away from harm's way.
 
I used to be a heavy drinker. After much introspection, I found that alcohol made me a very melancholy man, difficult to talk to, spoiling for arguments and fights.

I still drink, but very seldom. Mostly red and white wine with evening dinner. I like myself much better now. :)
