Drinking is strictly forbidden. It's idiotic for some muslims to say its allowed as long as you dont get intoxicated. <br>Theirs clear evidecne that alcohol is impermissable. It's in te Quran, literal word of God. <br>Its in the exegesis, it's in the Prophetic traditions, backed up with consensus amongst 99% of scholars from all generations. <br>It's clear, no differring opinion. <br>I'd like to ask those muslims, are they sincere? are they living in a fools paradise? bring forth your evidence. <br>Culture can have belly dancing women, but that doesnt mean Islam permits that.
