To the Jewish (and the Muslims), Jesus of Nazareth was just another in a long line of prophets. Christianity sees him as the messiah, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the bringer of a new Covenant with God.
Thus, to the Christian, almost all the laws of the Old Testament are reduced to advice, not requirements. The teachings of Jesus have replaced them.
net result: We get to eat all the bacon 
Maybe it is time to start treating muslims a little differently?
