just like any other vegetarian.
but you are not obliged to eat meat or not eat it.
If you don't eat meat for dietary or health reasons or if you just don't like it then that's fine.
But some people (not all) say that if you don't eat meaty because you feel sorry for the animal then that is where it becomes debatable.
That is because One of the reasons God put animals here on earth id for our health and nourishment.
But again some people agree with this and some people don't.

Some people are very cautions about what they put in their bodys. Sometimes its the best way to go. A lot of food products now adays have added enzimes (which can contain pork). So people stay away from them all together.
Some Muslims will tell you that in Islamic law you are not allowed to refuse to eat meat. This is mere opinion unsupported by any evidence from the sources of the Sharî‘ah.
Others try to persuade you by saying that the Prophet, peace be upon him, ate meat, so you should too. Well, let's look closer at that argument. We all know that we should try to emulate the Prophet's sunnah. And what is more important in the Sunnah: to observe specific details of the Prophet's personal taste which others may or may not share? Or to abide by the great universal principles of behavior and character that he exemplified?
The bottom line is: no one has the authority to dictate to you what halâl food you can choose to put into your body. Islamic law is completely neutral on this issue; it is only a private matter for each individual to decide for his or her self.

Muslims can be vegetarians by substituting meat with beans or with any vegetable proteins. Soya products can come in many forms: milk, tofu and vegetable-like meats.
All herbs and vegetables are considered good and halal. There is a wide variety of vegetables all year round and the best is to include fruits and nuts in your diet.

I don't see how Muslim and vegetarian have a connection. Muslims are prohibited from eating pork.

Be what you want to be as long as you are not defying God and there is nothing in Islam stopping you from being a vegetarian.

Well anyone CAN be a vegetarian... it's not like their religion requires them to eat meat...
In fact, I think Muslims don't eat meat because of religion (they believe not to harm any creature).

there are a couple of types of muslims. certain types of muslims have beliefs that are more or less than the others. they might do things differently, or eat different foods.

i dont get it, people complain about animal treatment and how they are living things but they dont realize plants are living things too i know its a mind blowing concept for PITA. Being a vegetarian ISN'T HEALTHY, you need Protein in your diet to keep those muscles goin along with iron and zinc, all the good stuff. All i know about muslim meat is they say Allahu Akbar while slaughtering the animal while it faces east.

Being a vegetarian is a personal choice. Islam does not require for you to eat meat. That is a personal choice. PEACE!
