I have a number of friends...among them Muslims Christians, Jews and also Hindus. My questions are: If I am having a pizza and my Hindu friend breaks a piece of it to eat am I un supposed to refuse to eat the pizza? Same question the other way round...if he offers me something that can be eaten without his or my directly biting into the whole thing (eg a pack of chips or Pop corn) then is there a problem with eating that..... I would like to see what people have to say about this.... Imran
