Muslims are 'forbidden by their religion' to eat pork for EXACTLY the same reasons Jews are forbidden by their religion' to eat pork. In fact, the Muslim religion takes much of it's belief system from the 'pre Christian' jews, and it also takes 'some' from Christianity. Back when 'Christ' was alive, and for several hundred years after (up to approximately the time of the 'invention' of 'refrigeration' and not feeding pigs 'garbage' but giving them 'proper good nutrition') pigs were 'unclean' because they 'ate garbage' and because without proper refrigeration they couldn't be 'kept fresh' for very long at all. The 'religious rule' was strictly because at that time 'religion' meant more than 'civil government' when it came to the way people 'obeyed the laws' ... and it was an 'extremely good rule' for well over a thousand years, and even though it's highly 'unlikely' for a person born in our age to 'die' from thriconosis the 'rules' still 'stand' in both Jewish and Muslim homes.

Pigs are the most filthiest, animal on Earth. There are tons of diseaes and worms in pig blood which can be spread to humans if not cooked properly. It wallows and bathes in mud all day. It eats garabage and S.H.I.T. It has no neck so you can't slit it's throat to drain the blood out. It's really fatty which also isn't good for your health. Yes it is an unclean animal. We have to slit an animal's throat to drain all the bloood out and can not do that if the animal has no neck. Also ALLAH turned dead Jews who didn't believe in him into apes and pigs. And Jews also do not eak pork.

there is a disease ppl used to get eating pork. the common belief is that is reason why. jews also have kosher rules and that may have had impact.
mabye kosher rules came from pork disease but they are very elaborate.

Allah did not state in the Quran why we must abstain from consuming pork.
Here are some reasons...
According to the Quran....
Forbidden to you (your food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on wish hath been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; than which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject Faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed my favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful).Al Maidah 5:3
According to the bible:
Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
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 carcase.
According to the Torah...And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
And the swine, though he divide 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 carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. Leviticus
