Muslims: alchohol bad, Coca-Cola good, why ?

When the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), alcohol created in any country is forbidden, it has nothing to do with americanisation of corporate products. the basis of alcohol, that it intoxicates you to do stupid sinful things is a theory beneficial to human beings.

coca cola/pepsi on the other hand does not have adverse intoxicating qualities other than high consumption of it can lead to higher insulin levels and increases the chances of getting diabetes. the Quran was not revealed to spite the USA, that is why Coca cola /pepsi is not mentioned in the Quran. there is no basis to why muslims are allowed to drink coke, your statement does not make sense. if muslims and others want to drink coke its up to them, and if they dont coz they hate America thats up to them aswell. muslims will only go by what the Quran says.

oh and if you have read the Bible (New or Old Testament) alcohol is not permitted either, the same is in the Torah.

"but not allowed to drink alchohol which if drunk in moderation can be quite beneficial to your health?"

Every alcoholic was initially a social drinker

Many may argue in favour of liquor by calling themselves ‘social drinkers’. They claim that they only have one or two pegs and they have self-control and so never get intoxicated. Investigations reveal that every alcoholic started as a social drinker. Not a single alcoholic or drunkard initially starts drinking with the intention of becoming an alcoholic or a drunkard. No social drinker can say that I have been having alcohol for several years and that I have so much self-control that I have never been intoxicated even a single time.

Prohibition of alcohol in the Bible

The Bible prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the following verses:

"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."

[Proverbs 20:1]

"And be not drunk with wine."

[Ephesians 5:18]

Alcohol inhibits the inhibitory centre

The human beings possess an inhibitory centre in their brains. This inhibitory centre prevents the person from doing things that he considers wrong. For instance a person does not normally use abusive language while addressing his parents or elders. If he has to answer the call of nature, his inhibitory centre will prevent him from doing so in public. Therefore he uses the toilet.

When a person consumes alcohol, the inhibitory centre itself is inhibited. That is precisely the reason that an inebriated person is often found to be indulging in behaviour that is completely uncharacteristic of him. For instance the intoxicated person is found to use abusive and foul language and does not realize his mistake even if he is addressing his parents. Many even urinate in their clothes. Neither do they talk nor walk properly. They even misbehave.

The bible DOESN'T prohibit alcohol at all, in fact it encourages it's use when it can benefit you:

Proverbs 31:6

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

1 Timothy 5:23

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

After all, Jesus himself turned water into wine for a wedding. It's foolish to think that he didn't know people would be getting drunk.

The bible only warns about the abuse of alcohol.

Because acholol is prohibited by religion, and Coca-Cola could be prohibited only by some crazy fanatics, who hates America....

There is no coorelation between Coke and Alcohol....and not all Muslims hate Americans

'They ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: "In them is a great sin, and (some) benefit for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they ought to spend. Say: "That which is beyond your needs." Thus Allah makes clear to you His Laws in order that you may give thought." (Qur'an 2:219)

I would say that Pepsi is the 'globalized American Crap, and also 'the price is right' game show

Coke does not make you drunk or impair your ability to rationalize or think clearly, and does not cause people to become violent. Alcohol does.

drinking alchohol is a sin for christians too. so why are you bothered only about muslims.....

it's not about american or non american...it's about the alcohol itself...no drink contains alcohol is allowed because alcohol move your mind away....and even in small quantity...what's haram in big quantity is haram in a small quantity
