is this true?

Question

"The pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth. It lives and thrives on muck, faeces and dirt. It is the best scavenger that I know that God has produced." [6].
one may become like the animals one eats. If one eats carnivorous animals, one becomes aggressive [7], if one eats pork, one acts like a pig. If one eats penguins, he will resist cold. [8].

"The pig is the most shameless animal on the face of the earth. It is the only animal that invites its friends to have sex with its mate. In America, most people consume pork. Many times after dance parties, they have swapping of wives; many say "you sleep with my wife and I will sleep with your wife." If you eat pigs then you behave like pigs" [9].
, "Eating of pork can cause no less than seventy thousand different types of diseases. A person can have various helminthes like roundworm, pinworm, hookworm, etc." [10].

Answer 1

Not really. Other animals that eat their own faeces include rabbits and chicken - which many people eat and are not harram. I'm not sure if pigs are scavengers, but again so are many animals. 7 and 8 are wishful thinking at best. I've been eating beef my whole life, but I still don't moo.

Number 9 is offensive and small-minded. You should ignore it if you are an open-minded person.

Number 10 is important. It's entirely possible that during the life of the prophet, pigs carried illnesses that rendered them dangerous to eat. There was no refrigeration technology, and salting or smoking meats does not kill all illnesses.

This is why it's important to cook meat, and to make sure that the meat is grown in sanitary conditions. If you're not sure, you shouldn't eat the meat. But that's not just true of pork, it's true of all animals.

Remember that only Muslims and Jews have taboos against pork. Billions of people eat it every day and still live healthy, productive lives. And if you give any credence to point number nine, then pork is the least of your worries, my friend.

Answer 2

Many animals that end up on the dinner plate could gross out the person consuming the meal if they actually knew what those animals lived in or around. Realize that this is the external or outside of the animals and today technology produces many ways to keep our food clean and edible. There are religious dietary laws given to certain people but that doesn't mean that you will get disease from eating pork or chicken or other meats even though they contain various bacteria. Bacteria is killed during cooking or preparation before it makes it to your plate.

Consider steak and hamburger. Beef gets contaminated by feaces also but is cleaned in the processing plants. Still bacteria is present most likely regardless but is killed by cooking it at sufficent temperature. With hamburger though, since it is ground up the outside of the meat is also moved inside so hamburger is best cooked well done 160 degrees throughout therefore all bacteria is killed, even that which finds it's way inside the burger. Steak however the inside of the meat is never touched by bacteria therefore can be cooked medium or medium rare even and not risk the contamination problems as the outside is still cooked at a sufficient temperature to kill all bacteria that might exist. Same principal applies to pork but if you feel it to be too gross or unclean then do not eat it or if your religious practice prohibits it then go with your beliefs but with today's technology and preparation diseases are controlled and stopped in most all cases.

Answer 3

Yes Pig is one of the Filthiest animals on earth. That alone is true. Other information are not true - Where do you get those information from? like "eat animal you behave like animal". Does that mean, if you eat vegetables, you behave like veggie- just lay there like veggie, doing nothing. It is not true. How do you know pigs have friends and they invite to swap wives. It is there everywhere among all animals. More over they do not know how to invite nor they have wives - For them it is reproduction. I think it is your story to mock at somebody.

Same way swabbing wives/raping, looting, suicide bombing etc may be there in all places where-ever proper culture is not present. Uncultured will do all this. Even some animal culture allow to have plenty of wives and treat wives like animals. Even long ago entire human race were animals, slowly they evolved to this level. They made their own rules etc and point finger at others saying they are no good. What to do, Some are still in earlier level not perfectly evolved. They are not like you and me.

Answer 4

Yes, about eating pork, it is true: we should not eat pork. As somebody already answered, pork doesn't sweat, so in order to cool itself, it has to take a bath in mud. But the toxins are still in it because it can't get them out of its body by sweating. Besides, porks eat all kind of waste, as well as some other animals like sharks, chrimp, and most of birds who eat dead bodies.

The pork contains a parasit in its body, we would say it's like a worm. I don't know what a worm is doing in a pork's body (I was told what it does but don't remember, sorry), but it doesn't harm the pork. But, when we eat the pork, that parasit goes into our body and it does harm us becasue it goes directly to our brain.

It is said that we are what we eat. If you eat healthy food you'll be healty, and if you eat unhealthy food you'll be unhealthy

Among animals there are a lot of diseases; any doctor would tell you that. It does not happen among plants, at least most of them, but we need to know that there's meat we can eat, and also there's meat we should not eat due to the animal and the way our system works. Pork is among one of the animals who is not considered healthy to eat.

I would suggest you this website: http://www.amazingfacts.org/media/radio/question_archive.asp?tName=Health
specially the question that says: "Explain dietary guidelines on clean and unclean meats." which deals with healthy and unhealthy meat. Also: Is it unhealthy to eat pork?

If you got a Bible, you may also read Leviticus 11

Answer 5

If you can demonstrate that eating penguin helps you resist cold any more than say chicken, then I'll say your hate-filled theory might hold water.

HOWEVER, pigs are not as dirty as you claim. In fact, many animals cover themselves in a cake of mud to resist parasitic flies. Where did you read that pigs invite others to sleep with their mates?

And your "many times, after dance parties...." generalisation was absolutely hilarious. I'm still laughing.

Answer 6

Sonds like an average American Friday night. A plate full of porkchops followed by some wife swapping. Its funny how a majority of muslims cant even master indoor plumbing but then will tell you pork is dirty.

Answer 7

I strongly feel that pork being cheap should be fed to domestic animals like dogs and cats. But it`s not true that those who eat pork swap their wives. It`s not true.

Answer 8

Pigs are known to be the cleanest of animals, du to Mud being the best way of getting clean.

The rest i agree with

Answer 9

This is why it's forbidden in Islam to eat pigs it's disgusting, and it's ugly.
people has hundreds of alternatives why this filthy animal,

Answer 10

it is kinda true. Pig does not sweat (it used mud to cool down), so lotsa toxins accumulate in it's flesh, and it is very easy to get poisoned, especially if it is as hot as it is in Middel East and you got no fridge to store the meat.

So religion just makes people do things that are good for them.
