islam is the best for humanity - my religion is islam.. and I'm proud of it
HEY! MR.CRAZY!! PLEASE!!! DON'T TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW!!!! you couldn't be more wrong, (pig is God in islam???? ) this is nonesense pig in islam is a dirty animal its digusting and I'm sure you know why.. and since islam came with all the help and guide for the human beings with all whats good for them coming from God (ALLAH) who created everything and knows the best.. therefore ..pigs are forbidden to be eaten..

Thanks for your reply nooreldin. I believe Crazy made a few research over the internet and that was his conclusion over on this subject... Maibe has u know alot of it u can Illuminate us all,and tell us the story of why (not only cause pig is dirty and God told us not to eat)Whats the story in between that? Agn wasnt a pig that helped the prophet that was lost in the desert?

So how come they have the Quranic law and we have like the normal bible law? I mean theres nothing to do with not eating pigs over on our bible... or maibe i just didnt read it well?

I guess in their religion says that the "sacret"pig helped their prophets to get out from the desert when he was lost ... i mean A pig in the midle of the desert? This was the version i eard from friends. Dont know if it is really like this ...

I have something funny to say. My friend is muslim and he never eat any meet other than chicken before. We went to China together and I taught him how to use a chopstick. He ate pork. He put it in his mouth and he asked,"What's this" with an indian accent. We're like "OH CRAP". He just ate pork and said this is pretty good. We're all surprise that he didn't care anymore.

Lol funny lol. But i believe it has something to do with their religions itself ... would like to know more abt it cause its way to ...strange ... i mean they should have a reason... rigth?

Muslims dont eat porks because it is forbidden in their religion.The main question is why it is forbiden in their religion.One practical reason is because pork is rich in fats and in islam more emphasis is given on eating less,fasting etc.

some religion considered 3 fingered animals (like pigs, ducks etc... ) the most dirtiest animals as state on bible..some religion consider pigs as sacred and it is use only for offering to their gods..

I am not sure but to me it would make sense that, pigs at one time were infested with tape worms, because pigs will eat just about anything, pigs that were farm raised were given garbage to eat, that was any thing that was not fit for human consumption, as well a lot of religions were and are not allowed to eat pork, if I am not mistaken the only meat all religions allow is goat or sheep. And aside from the fact that goats and sheep are and were the farm animal of the middle east.and Asia. Cattle are considered a work animal, and were only domesticated as food in the last few hundred years. Sorry that is as far as my knowledge goes

I know muslims dont eat pork because of religion, I think it has something to do ith it being unclean. And it really is an unclean animal to eat, lots of non-muslims dont eat prk because of this. Me, personally, I know the dangers of pork, and about its uncleanliness but I still chose to eat it.

I have always wondered this about their Religion also. It is interesting sometimes to learn about others, and how they believe.

I think it has something to do with them believing a pig is an unclean animal and if you eat it it will make you unclean also. I guess a pig will eat anything. It doesn't bother me. I like my ham. I haven't keeled over yet.
19 Nov 06
Lol .. i like my ham too. Its weird and confused... if we have rules or either warnings how come we do break them? Weird isnt it? Maibe all the desieses we do have in this world is caused by several things we were warned abt in the holly bible? who knows? But yeah i do still eat my ham lol... ai ai ai ... lol.Thanks for your reply:)
