i think allah found that there was shortage of animals in earth so he decided to transform some humans into apes and swines.or maybe ur allah didn't find the pigs &apes attractive looking so he decided 2 transform the humans into them.

A few mentions of apes and pigs is hardly an obsession. The Bible mentions swine (pigs) far more than this small example from the Quran.
Animals are used in both the Bible and the Quran, some with good qualities and some that were considered, at the time, to be unclean (swine), or raging beasts (apes). Basically animals that were considered abhorrent to the people of that era. Many references simply equates men who sin to be no better than these animals.
These types of references have been used from ancient times to modern with various animals represented.
Addition for toughguy. Islam is not a religion of war any more than Christianity is. It is the people who do not truly live their religion that make it seem so because they create their wars in the name of the religion they profess to follow. In history Christians have been responsible for the death, torture and exile of millions, all in the name of their religion.
If one truly follows the spiritual tenants of their religion, there is no war.

Mohammad was as much human as you or me or christ. He is not a mythological charactor, he is normal man. So please do not make him messanger of GOD and do not give too much importance to his badly written book KORAN. Better read harry potter or marvel comics.
He was a reformer of his time who united people and made an empire of Khalipha. He was a good hearted saint, that is all. His rules are now very old and are not applicable in modern times. Nowadays not many men dies in war so 4 marriges are useless, neither we need to have 20 children to make big armies. Veil of women is useless in civilized societies. Muslim laws can not be applicable in modern day democracy.
Reformers are good for their times, now we need modern days NGOs, socialist etc. Charitable trusts and Mother Teresa like people are required more than the hardliners of muslim or christian or any other religions.
Every religion changed with time except muslim, so it may create more prolems for world. If it will not change it will finish in a very voilent way. Much of the problems in the modern world is creted by hardliner muslims and capitalists or in general sepratist.

Leave America now and tqke your wretched beliefs and your false God with you. I think I'll go have me some barbecue pork ribs. Islam is not a religion of peace but of war and when you die as a martyr you will not see virgins only hell for the hell you brought on earth.
