Modern Islam

I really sympathize for Muslim business owners who are torn between their faith and making a living for themselves. Islam strictly bans all alcohol, gambling, and pork. This puts Muslims who own shops which, typically sell all three items, in a very tough position. On one side, I believe that it is very important to stick with one's faith. If a person is very dedicated to their religion and believes it is an essential aspect of their life, it does not seem right to directly disobey orders written in the Qur'an. But then again, how do you justify losing business because of that? It seems extremely unfair. I don't think that there is a right or wrong thing to do. Of course I am not Muslim and if I was I would probably have a different opinion, but I believe that if a person needs to sell these forbidden items in order to support themselves and their families it should not be scorned upon. Also, if a person decides to listen to the Qur'an and ban all items from their shop, they should not be though of as unreasonable or lacking any sense of business. I feel as if it must be somewhat difficult, or even extremely difficult, to strictly follow Islam while living in modern America.
