Bismillah
No curious, we do fly airplanes, but when we have to live in or visit land of infidels we do watch our food. For example I m sure u dont make such a comment when u go into a store and pass by the kushare rack. U just pass by, it is by default that it is there. U give Jews the right to want to eat Kushar. we do have the same right I think.
having to go contrary to what the infidels do is a command from the Messenger prayer and peace be upon him. For instance, this specific statement was made in a hadeeth in which the Messenger prayer and peace be upon him was commanding Muslim men to grow beards and shave the moustach in order to go against what the infidels look like.
likewise, as a Muslim woman I will be certainly identified with my head cover and long clothes on. Are u getting the point? but the advice strechtes as well for instance, we are supposed to celebrate xmas...etc and other feasts. For those who live in non Muslim countries, they dont.
This is what the statement of go against what the infidels do mean :) got it? :wavey:
