This study analyzed the views of vegans who define themselves as Muslims,
Atheists or Deists. Questions such as ‘How did you decide to be a vegan?’,
‘Please present your opinion about sacrificing an animal for God’ etc. were
asked to the participants in order to evaluate their views. In-depth audiorecorded interviews were conducted with individuals over the age 18 which
were then, decoded and interpreted. The interviews took place between April
9 and November 8, 2017. Upon completing the analyses, it was determined
that some Muslim vegans want to live and behave according to the specific
religious identity and continue life as vegans without exploiting innocent
living beings at the same time. On the other hand, some of the interviewed
individuals mentioned that the notion of sacrifice in Islam has changed in time
and it is no longer correct to sacrifice animals for Allah in Islam. According to
the obtained data, Muslim vegans do not usually put the vegan identity forward
and avoid politicization. Muslim vegans also reported that they stay away from activist vegan groups. The common aspect among Muslim, Atheist and Deist
groups is that they are against capitalism
