Pork - In the Qur'an (and in the Old Testament of the Bible) there is a story that God cast (threw) the devil into a pig. Therefore, pork and any pork products (some types of gelatin, and lard) and even leather goods from the pig are forbidden to Muslims. This is also true of Jewish traditions. [NOTE: The disease of trichinosis is caused by worms that live in pigs and can be passed on to humans who eat unclean pork. This restriction was very important to people's health.]

Nope.
It's because they follow the old laws out of respect for tradition. And they didn't eat it back in the day because it didn't always get cooked properly and they saw it made a lot of people sick when they ate it.

no the real reason for that is because they believe in the ethical treatments of animals.
