[quote=Anonymous]Maybe I should have posted this in religion or food, I wasn't sure though because this isn't specifically about religion or specifically about food but more about being a good hostess to a different culture. Sorry if its in the wrong spot!

Also please excuse any ignorance in this post, I mean no disrespect.

I like hosting dinner parties and my husband has a fairly new work colleague who I would like to have over with his family. The are Muslim and from what I know pretty devout (?not sure if thats the right way to say it).

I do plan on calling his wife and chatting about any dietary restrictions when I invite them, but I don't want to seem completely naive - is this Wikipedia article fairly accurate? [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_dietary_laws[/url]

Anything else I should be aware of to make them feel comfortable and welcome?

That is all I want. I've hosted kosher friends and really orthodox guests and well many different cultures but this is my first for Muslims who would have restricted dietary laws and devout customs etc.

I'm probably saying this all wrong...anyhoo

Any advice or point me to a good website?

TIA![/quote]
