-If Muslims are craving for a tourist destination with special food or treatment, why not vacationing in a Muslim country ?

If there is a demand why not? I am not Muslim but I do eat at their restaurants. Good food is good food. Where I live in the US there is a chain of "Steak n Take" restaurants. If there was one on Pedro Clisante the place would be packed!Squat said:-If Muslims are craving for a tourist destination with special food or treatment, why not vacationing in a Muslim country ?
Most airlines do offer halal meals. Interesting point is that many Muslims will eat Kosher meats if Halal not available, as slaughtering procedures are quite similar. Problem in the DR is that neither Halal nor Kosher is readily available.Sholly24 said:I am not quite sure that you got the point. The person requesting the information did not seem to request for special treatment but I would think that people are quite reasonable if they will wish to be able to go anywhere and still have the option of eating in accordance with their religious dictates.
Jewish people have the kosher diet also and most airlines have the kosher diet onboard or by special request for people of the jewish faith that will prefer it. I do not see why the same approach cannot apply to muslims
sweetdbt said:To expect to be able to go ANYWHERE and have special accomodation made to your religion's dietary requirements is NOT reasonable. It is a matter of demand and cost effectiveness. Most Muslims, (along with Orthodox Jews and strict vegetarians) know this, and would not assume that their particular needs could be met in restaurants or markets in a place like the DR, where the demand for those items is minimal or non-exhistent.

Please share with me your information. Thank you.

Anything not politically correct seems way too disturbing for the gentleman in charge of moderating this thread !
I gave you a few opportunities to moderate your own words. You chose to not do that, but to continue with your vile characterization of the original poster. The DR1 board is a privately owned board. As such, there are rules. You can either censor yourself, or you will be censored, in this, or the other forums on this board. This is my last explanation on this.Squat said:-why bother posting a reply when most posts are being deleted (censored) ???
