Religion, Foodstuffs & Respect

@fmf said
The OP, as the title suggests, is only interested in the aspect of religion as it pertains to multi-faith society.

People of any religion could argue for the prohibition of alcohol or certain foodstuffs for social or health reasons and do so without connection to their religious affiliation or beliefs. That's is beyond the scope of my OP question. Alcohol and pork are proscri ...[text shortened]... n Indonesia.

In the OP's scenario, would you keep pork on the menu if you were the restauranteur?

My point was that the allowance of minority groups to legally have alcohol (or to at least somewhat freely blackmarket it) as is the case of Iran and I believe Malaysia is a point of great tolerance from Muslims, and I find that significant.

So, would I show mutual respect? Of course.

Take pork off the menu? Sure... Isn't it even the case that pork products should not even be made in the same area where hallal products are being served?

By "area", what do you mean? The Bandung area? The area of Indonesia ?

If you mean the kitchen "area" in the Papuan restaurant, they don't claim to cook anything to halal standards, and there is no obligation for any Muslims to eat there.

Oh wow, really? Because here, there are companies that do prepare Hallal meat even though they are non-Muslim, and burger places that even serve Hallal burgers. I know this because of my old neighborhood and a scandal back in 2014 when they found out that one of the places allegedly preparing hallal meat, who did have it slaughtered correctly by Muslims, had actually stored it in an area where pork was also prepared openly, resulting in them I suppose facing some kind of consequences...

I would guess that hallal meat could not be in the same kitchen that pork is prepared in.

Establishments that observe halal standards put a sign in the window if they want to put potential customers minds at rest and if there might be any doubt.
