Well I haven't personally checked out the Muslim 'dating site' which you provided a link for but I do remember seeing a program on TV about a Muslim introduction agency and that one didn't work the same way as a non-Muslim one which just gives details and the people get together and go on a date. The Muslim one featured on TV was done in much the same way as parents looking for a partner for their children, with a chaperone accompanying the pair when they meet and the introduction being in keeping with Islamic tradition.

This could be a case of non-Muslim eyes seeing something Islamic with different expectations to those of a Muslim.

Maybe you would think I 'play the bloody religion record far too much' too because it matters to me that I know what is in the food and drink I have because it matters to me not to drink alcohol. As you will have seen above now that I know that kefir can be alcoholic I will avoid using it. It won't harm anyone else if I don't drink alcohol. Nor will it harm anyone else if Muslims don't. I really don't see why anyone feels this is objectionable.
