No beef vs no pork

Some cannot eat beef. Others love beef (most countries). Some cannot eat pork, some love pork (count China and Belgium in). Now, based on what? Of course no mutual respect nor tolerance.

A man has been dragged out of his house and beaten to death by a mob near New Delhi over rumors that his family killed and ate a cow, the victim’s brother has told Al Jazeera.
Mohammed Akhlaq, 52, a resident of Bisara village in Gautam Budh Nagar, about 40km from the Indian capital, was attacked on Monday night.

He died of his injuries early on Tuesday while his 22-year-old son Mohammed Danish was admitted to a nearby hospital in a critical condition.
“My brother threw goat’s skin in the garbage dump. But some people circulated a rumour that a cow was slaughtered and an announcement was made from the local temple,” Mohammed Saifi, the victim’s brother, said.
“Soon a mob of about 1,000 people, armed with lathis [batons] and swords, gathered and attacked the house of my brother.
“They did not even spare my 82-year-old mother Asgari Begum, who has suffered injuries, along with Akhlaq’s wife and daughter, Sajida Saifi,” he said.

Since that news came out, the situation remains totally unclear. The “meat” was first tested and came out as not being beef. Then another test put doubts. And more confusing reports, showing an incompetent police force.
