why don't muslims eat pork?

Answer 1

I had asked many muslim friends this question too, and no one can give me a exact answer. Some said as pig is dirty and filthy, which is definitely a crab, as we know wild pig like hygience more than other animals. So, if this belief was in the Koran since past, then Muslim shouldn't eat all other animals as well, as most are more dirty and filthy than wild pig.

Most muslim are born to be a muslim. They don't choose their religious. And I wonder it's because of this reason, most muslim did not know their religious well or not bother to find out.

Answer 2

If I am not mistaken, the Koran says nothing about not eating pork. But since in the early days of Islam Muhammad was trying to win the favour of the Jews, he also adopted their abstinence from pork, in addition to facing Jerusalem when praying (which he later changed).

Answer 3

You are what you eat!! A famous saying here in USA.

We do not doubt for an instant that the pig is a dirty and filthy animal, and that eating it is harmful to man. Moreover it lives on dirt and filth, and it is something that is off-putting to those of a sound nature who refuse to touch it, because eating it is either a cause or a sign of a person’s oddness.

Pork is regarded as one of the kinds of meat that contain the most cholesterol, an increase of which in the bloodstream leads to an increased likelihood of blocked arteries. The fatty acids in pork are also of an unusual formation, when compared with the fatty acids in other types of food, which makes them more easily absorbed by the body, thus increasing cholesterol levels.

‎ Pork meat and pork fat contribute to the spread of cancers of the colon, rectum, prostate and blood.

‎ Pork meat and pork fat contribute to obesity and related diseases that are difficult to treat.

‎ Eating pork leads to scabies, allergies and stomach ulcers.

‎ Eating pork causes lung infections which result from tapeworms, lungworms and microbial infections of the lungs.

The most serious danger of eating pork is that pork contains tapeworms which may grow to a length of 2-3 meters. The growth of the eggs of these worms in the human body may lead to insanity and hysteria if they grow in the area of the brain. If they grow in the region of the heart that may lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks. Another kind of worm that is to be found in pork is the trichinosis worm that cannot be killed by cooking, the growth of which in the body may lead to paralysis and skin rashes.

The doctors have confirmed that tapeworm disease is regarded as one of the serious diseases that may result from eating pork. It may develop in the small intestine and after several months may grow into a large worm whose body is composed of a thousand segments, with a length of 4-10 meters, which lives alone in the intestine of the infected person and part of it may appear when he defecates. When the pig swallows and ingests its eggs, they enter the tissues and muscles in the form of larvae sacs containing fluid and the head of the tapeworm. When a person eats infected pork, the larva turns into a complete worm in the intestine. These worms cause weakness and vitamin B12 deficiency, which leads to a specific type of anaemia, which may in turn cause nervous problems. In some cases the larvae may reach the brain, causing convulsions, increased pressure within the brain, epilepsy and even paralysis.

Answer 4

Because it is unclean and has lots of diseases that can be spread to humans since it can't be slaughtered in the proper way since it has no neck so when it's cooked it also passes all the germs to humans who eat it. Also it lays in mud all day, is never clean, and eats garbage and S.H.I.T.
