If you want to know if couscous is suitable for consumption by Muslim people - the answer is yes
Couscous is made from wheat grains - there are no meat additives and it is very healthy.

okay, Islam is a religion not a geographic location. Muslim people live all over the world and eat a variety of foods. Couscous is a Middle Eastern Dish and is eaten by people with a background of all sorts of religions. It will go well with any Middle Eastern or even Mediterranean dish.

couscous is made from cracked wheat. I believe it is originally from Morocco. It has become popular worldwide lately. So we can say it is mainly North African, Arabic, and of course Muslim. However, it is not a specifically Islamic dish.

Cuscous is indiginous to North Africa, specifically Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. It is considered a staple there, is made from the Semlina flour and used extensively in almost every dish.

It's Mediterranean, which is not necessarily Muslim. There are Jews and Christians who live in the Middle East, too.

It originated in Morocco. Morocco is a Muslim country, however I don't think the dish itself has any religious persuasion.

couscous is considered a Mediterranean ingredient,used extensively in and around this region,with the spread of regional cooking & the interest shown in ethnic cuisine,few dishes let alone ingredients can be considered the sole monopoly of any one region.

There is no such thing as a "muslim" dish...islam is a religion and muslim is one who practices it.
Couscous however is a Moroccan dish....
Moroccans can be other religions as well, i.e. there are Moroccan jews.
