I know Mormons can't have alcohol, but couldn't they just dip their tongue in a glass of beer and not move it? (sh.itjust.works)

I live in Malaysia, and Islam is the dominant religion here. Yet every store has a "haram corner" where they sell alcohol and pork, and some smaller supermarkets are even completely non-halal by default.

And while I haven't seen a muslim eating pork, I had a few beers with some on several occasions. And I haven't seen or heard anyone praying, with the exception for Malacca city, which is apparently a bit of a stricter area.
