If fish has scales, it is acceptable under the OT law. Such restrictions no longer apply. I eat shark once a week. It's called flake here to avoid the implications that come with shark. They have to be small, so no, I won't be eating an unfortunate surfer.

We have invasive European carp in Australia. It tastes lousy so it won't fly as human food. It's been used as fertiliser and pet food, but there is far more fish than the market can handle. You may or may not know, Goldfish are a carp variety.
Just change the name, and put it on an exotic gourmet menu, or change the name and put it on the supermarket shelf.

No. I'm not talking about hotdogs. Obama wrote about eating dog meat in Indonesia. Apparently it's not just in China where they eat man's best friend. Nothing good comes from allowing dog eaters into your neighborhood or into the Presidency. Disgusting, dog eating Obama.
Indonesia had a large Muslim population. Dog's aren't highly praised in Islam.

What's next? Renaming catfish because it's an offence to dogs? What would you call them?
Well, there is also a genus of Carp known as Black Carp.
Could be just a matter of time before the silly extends in that direction.

You are right. Dog meat is not "Halal". Dog may be eaten, along with other "Haram" animals, if there is nothing else and the person is starving.

Yes, but do it for the right reason.

The world is ofishially insane. We are seeing the start of time that Paul spoke of, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
and/or

Romans 1:22 (NASB) Professing to be wise, they became fools,

Dogs are despised by Muslims and the meat is "Haram" or forbidden. It may be eaten if the person is starving but that's it. How old was Obama when he was Indonesia? He was 10 when he left after 4 years. He attended both Christian and Muslim schools. Dog meat is not on the menu for either. It's God's business to make something out of nothing. When we try it, all we look is stupid.

Yes, he ate dog meat. So what? He was a child. He complained that it was tough. I may have eaten cat. I was in Malaysia and I ordered chicken. It looked a bit odd and my friend said that it was cat. It was enough like chicken that I did not complain. If every wrong and foolish that you did was paraded in the public arena, how would you feel?

Been tried. Carp is pretty much inedible. People catch huge amounts, but not because they want to. It's illegal to throw it back and people won't eat it. I suppose cats might, and dogs eat anything.

"Politeness, n. The most acceptable hypocrisy." Ambrose Bierce

We're witnessing the cultivation of a new generation. A weak minded generation. One who will grow up to think what we older folk are witnessing now is normal and how the world works. And what it means to live in the world as a "well grounded functional adult...."
Who imagines they have the constitutional right to sue if offended.
