==============================

One more question

Since Brother Jamshed has mentioned people of the book
and their laws, I have an additional question.

What I understand from different opinions gathered from 
present day scholars, including Dr. Jamal Badawai of
Canada, Dr. Israr Ahmed of Pakistan, and the scholar of
Arab News who replies to queries on "our dialogue" page,
if chickens, lambs, and cows are allowed to bleed while
 being slaughtered , then the meat available in USA is ok to eat.
because by definition, christians and jews are people of the book
and Suratul Maidah in Quran gives them special status as far as
relations with muslims are considered.

On the other hand, Ulema in Pakistan are rather strict on this
question and they reject such meat mostly haram.

What is the practice of most muslims living in USA and Europe?
What opinions have they heard about it?

Thanks

Wassalam
