It is actually considered, under Islamic law, to be forbidden to invest in any business that sells alcohol or pork, presumably this would include owning/visiting a shop, restaurant and so on. That said, I know a number of Muslim people living in this country who do not keep strictly to these laws as it would be near impossible given the non-existence of an overriding islamic law here.
