#2 Heck, even apple juice that sits around on the shelf for a few days probably has some alcohol in it that developed by these natural processes he is referring to. This is probably what this guy is referring to.

Otherwise, muslims would have nothing to eat or drink, now would they?

#3 Egyptian Muslims have been drinking in Christian homes for centuries. And in Bosnia, a low alcohol stout - a Slavized Guinness - is sipped after Friday Prayers, although intoxication is cause for arrest. Similarly, in the UAE - which still uses UK civil law codes - some Westernized Muslims believe that the prohibition against alcohol consumption applies only in wartime. There are several sports bars in Dubai.

I know that somewhere in the Bukhari Hadith, there is a reference to a partially fermented drink being favored by the "prophet." Any fermentation yields some alcohol. Of course, there were no modern chemists around when Muhammad was spinning his yarns.

#4 I've had Turkish beer; it's pretty good stuff.

Besides, kids, remember: a journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.
