from what you should wear on your head, to how you have your beard, to how you treat women, let alone what animals you should eat.
Back in the dark ages it made sense to tell people not to eat pork or shellfish because it stopped people getting ill, but that's no longer the case.

If I threw a pig corpse at a mosque, it would have a far different meaning than if I threw a chicken corpse.
For those who chose to hold the animal in high regard, they're not saying nobody else can do what they want, but their choice should be respected for that individual.

but I don't agree with their views and I don't agree that they should be treated differently by virtue of their belief in nonsense.
Selling someone pork when it should be beef should be considered to be as bad as selling someone horse meat when it should be beef. I don't see that it's any worse because some people have decided that pig is bad but beef is okay. I don't think that is a justifiable position to take.

I am morally bound to tolerate your religion, provided it does not hurt others. I am not bound to respect other people's silliness, just their right to be silly.
