why do muslims hate pork?

Question

do some american service men dip their bullets in pig blood

Answer 1

I don't know that they "hate" it but they don't eat it because pigs are considered unclean animals and they were originally forbidden to eat it as a precaution against the diseases that improperly prepared pork could spread. "Clean" meats are called "hal-al", similar to what the Jews would call "kosher".

Now you all can stop being so ignorant.

Answer 2

Why Muslims Hate Pork

Answer 3

It says not to eat pork in the Qur'an. This actually makes sense if you go by the "you are what you eat" method. Pigs are considered disgusting, physically and morally. They have a habit of sleeping in a mixture of mud and their own feces (mostly wild pigs, but also some domesticated ones). Sometimes, pigs will eat their own young. Male pigs will invite other males to mate with their mates to appease them, or build alliances, in a way "pimping" thier own mates.
On top of that, pork is one of the fattest meats and like other fatty meats, can cause health problems such as obesity and heart disease. Pigs are are also prone to get the same diseases we get, meaning that most bacteria and viruses that can infect pigs will infect humans, as opposed to viruses that infect cows, chickens, etc. The Jews do not eat pork either, mostly for the same reasons.

Answer 4

Thousands of years ago, people didn't have the sanitation that we have today. So, 'unclean' meats that weren't cooked properly could kill you. Ancient laws about avoiding certain types of animals/food were very necessary to their survival at the time, and those principles were passed down.

Take the Jewish Kosher laws for example. They primarily revolved around basic cleanlieness. During the Middle Ages, the Europeans were dying of Leparcy (sp), but the Jews weren't ... and none of them knew anything about germs or bacteria. The Jews had no idea that their Kosher laws were saving their lives. After a while, the Christians started thinking that the Jews were using evil magic to attack them, and this was one of the cornerstones of anti-Semitism.

Answer 5

well that would be stupid to do that since dried blood can cause the gun to jam , or bullets to stick together, and Muslims don't hate pork , in their religion forbidden to eat pork.

Answer 6

Muslims hate pork because it is prohibited by Allah the only one God as it is stated in surah 2 Al Baqarah ( female cow) verse 173 and surah 5 Al Ma'idah (dishes or foods) verse 3.Allah' prohibition is based that pork is dirty and its meat contains cacing pita (a very small worm and its form like a ribbon) and more fat which will be harm to our health .Pork is not allowed to be eaten including its oill and its blood.If we do not comply with Allah prohibition,we have a sin..

Answer 7

it is considered an uclean animal- to Jews also-
Pigs are the only animal to sweat internally, there are many toxins in the skin that get into the meat- pork is actually poisonous to the human body. Many people are realizing how unhealthy pork is and cutting it out of their diet regardless of their religion- it is just plain nasty!

Answer 8

It's a common belief, that pigs eat in the same area, where they defecate, therefore, it's believed that pork isn't a clean meat.
