[quote]>>> I think, given the vast expanse of time, people know what it deemed natural and what is not.

Your assumption is incorrect. In Tibet polyandry is practiced, they think its very natural. In east Asia, dogs and cats are eaten, it is considered natural. Opposite example, letting the beard grow. If clipping nails and shaving arm pits and pubic hair is natural, then naturally one should trim the beard too. The bottom line is when you apply your own logic of whats natural and whats not, every thing breaks down with so many contradictions. Different people will say different things are natural. There will never be a consensus. Who decides?

Now if you will ban shark, then it is only natural to ban 90% of all fish we buy (because they are carnivores). Right? We can't be hypocritical in this matter by only banning shark.

I do agree with you on one thing though. Allah has given us a brain and we should use it. It is not possible to apply your carnivore rule to fish because most of them are carnivores.

I differ with you on your interfpretation of 5.96. When Allah gives permission in general and it is not followed by any restrictions, then it is open permission. In case of land animals Allah says everything pure is allowed except so and so. In case of sea animals, Allah never imposes any restrictions. Allah is all wise, and He knows how impractical such a restriction would be.

So if you continue to uphold your logic and not eat shark, then by that same logic I hope you won't eat tuna, salmon, herring, cod and most of the other fish out there. You can't have it both ways.[/quote]
