Holy book says all animals including pigs or boars are created by God, so there is no problem celebrating pig's year every 12 years. It's just that middle east people interpreted the rules wrongly at that time. When prophet mohamad started this religion, pigs were the cause of swine fever that killed thousands of fellow humans in the region. It was then thought a good idea to have a rule not to touch these animals, let alone slaughter them for food. And this unfortunately become a religious rule. The same thing applies to dogs too. What a pity.

No. Do not mixed culture and religion. Year of a Pig is the belief of Non Muslim Chinese. However, Muslims Chinese has to follow the Muslims culture and values. Otherwise, the Muslims Chinese will encounter their Faith in Islam misleading. Islam do not belief the animation year as in Chinese tradition. As such, refrain from practising such culture.

Yes, for God's sake YES!
It's a tradition, not religion, just like the year of the rat/monkey/dog/dragon or any other freakin' year. What's so different about this one if it's the year of the fire flippin' boar!?
Sheesh.
