Quote

I found it when looking up what foods YaYa's Muslim friend couldn't eat on her sleepover. "That which is necessary makes the forbidden permissible", Quran 2:173.

In context, it simply refers to a Muslim being allowed to eat pork and other forbidden food if they are in danger of starving or in a situation out of their control.

Out of context, and forgetting  any associated political/religious baggage, that's a pretty powerful quote. A desperate person in a desperate situation is a dangerous entity.
