Can I answer scalpel? 
No, in christianity there´s not a propter word for haram. Maybe "sin", but it isn´t the same.
In fact, for christian, there´s no a "haram" food as in Judism or Islam. For bad behavior, we talk about sins, that they are actions that move away from God.
Of course you can, naticim  you are an expert on religions. You taught me many valuable things about the religions. I want to thank you so so so much.

Dear LIR, I am wondering if there is any word/term in christian terminology which corresponds to haram in islamic terminology. There are many things that are legal according to current law but yet haram according to islam. From this point of view, getting things legally doesn´t always mean they are helâl. For example, it is legal to drink alcohol if you are over 18*, but haram from the islamic perspective no matter what is your age.
* I am not sure if there is such an age barrier, but I think it has to be...
Replying out of politeness - but you already have the answer from natiypusi so nothing for me to add to that - except to say that you are right about ´legal´ drinking age in the UK, not sure about the rest of Europe but I believe it´s 21 in some States in the USA.

According to the Old Testament there áre rules about what to eat or not also for Christians. See Leviticus 7, 22-27

I´m not sure for other Christians, but Orthodox Christians have periods of fasting, and there are rules what food is allowed to be eaten during those periods and what not.

To get the same meaning in English you have to expand it a bit more:
It doesn´t hypocritically do what it has banned others from doing, like the müfti does.

The çörek is the yummy pastry you get to eat this weekend at Paskalya (or Diriliş Bayramı - Easter when Christians celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead after dying on the cross for our sins. The fasting is the 40 day period before that. Diriliş Bayramı is a celebration and feasting time.
