Islam is not the only religion in which pork is prohibited but other religions teach the same message also. For example; In Judaism, pork consumption is forbidden. The Jews believe in the Old Testament. It is clearly stated "And the swine, though he divided the hoof, and be clovenfooted,yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. Leviticus (11:7-8). Also,"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass. Deuteronomy(14:8). In Hinduism, the same principle is applied according to their teachings. In fact most of the Hindus are pure vegetarians especially the Brahmins (the highest cast of Hindus). In Buddhism, there are five principal commandments on which the religion is based and these are the prohibition of killing, adultery, stealing, telling lies and drinking intoxicants. This is extreme form of Buddhism and encourages vegetarianism only. In Christianity, it is also required of the followers to not consume pork. This makes sense as Christians believe unconditionally in the Old and New Testament. Some Christians however, claim that they are Christians now and no longer Jews. The answer to this is that the fundamental teachings of the church are based on the Old Testament. Also, the Ten Commandments, which are from the Old Testament, are strictly practiced and the Old and New Testament are bound into one which is called the Holy Bible.

Can't eat pork.
From the sounds of things, pork is a health hazard. That would've been true at the time of writing it. It's a nutritional problem, nothing spiritual. But they take it as a sin just because, well, it's in their scriptures.

yes,
we can't eat pork for the following reasons:
1 it has tapeworms inside it
2 it is a filthy animal
3 it lives in a filthy environment
4 it eats filth
5 it eats its offspring
6 Allah has forbidden it on us
7 it's a greedy animal
8 it's a disgusting animal
9 anyone who eats pork acts like a pig (no offense)
10 the tapeworm infects everyone who eats pork even if they don't feel it now, it's a punishment from Allah for all the people who don't do as they are told, despite all the warnings about eating pork.
by the way the correct spelling is MUSLIM.

Muslims, Jews and some Christians do not eat pork because God commanded it. The official reason is that the animal is unclean.
Read this article by Dr. K. H. Kellogg about "the dangers of pork-eating." You may think twice about eating pork, whether for religious reasons or not.

They do not eat pork for the same reason Jewish people do not eat pork (an unclean animal).

Moslem is actually spelt as Muslim. They can't eat pork because of the teachings of their religion. They believe that pork is very dirty and unhygenic even after you cook it.

Isaiah 65:3, 4, 5 will answer your question. I could type the verses for you, but would like you to read them for yourself and SEE for yourself what God has said about this. Muslims I don't know, but this is from a Christian standpoint.

People spend too much time ridiculing to see the obvious.
I'm not talking about you. Your question is sincere. Religious decrees to not eat certain animals are just common sense. Certain animals are scavengers that eat already decaying flesh. Pigs eat anything.
And the cholesterol in pigs causes hardening of the
arteries, heart attacks and strokes.
But not ever eating a little pork is probably a little
extreme.
