ok i found this topic about why its hameful to eat pig or any other pig products
plz read it till the end
WHY IS PORK FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM?
Bob: Tell me why is it that a Muslim is very particular about the words Halaal and Haraam; what do they mean?
Yunus: That which is permissible is termed Halaal and that which is not permissible is termed Haraam and it is the Quran which draws the distinction between the two.
Bob: Can you give me an example?
Yunus: Yes, Islam has prohibited consumption of blood of any type. You
will agree that a chemical analysis of blood shows that it contains an
abundance of uric acid, a chemical substance which can be injurious to
human health.
Bob: You're right about the toxic nature of uric acid, in the
human being. It is excreted as a waste product and in fact we are told that
98% of the body's uric acid is extracted from the blood by the
kidneys and removed through urination.
Yunus: Now I think that you'll appreciate the specially prescribed
method of animal slaughter in Islam.
Bob: What do you mean?
Yunus: You see, the wielder of the knife, whilst taking the name of
the Almighty, makes an incision through the jugular veins, leaving all
other veins and organs intact.
Bob: I see, this causes the death of the animal by a total loss of
blood from the body, rather than an injury to any vital organ. "
Yunus: Yes, if the organs, example the heart, the liver, or the brain
crippled or damaged, the animal could die immediately and its blood would
congeal in its veins and would eventually permeate the flesh. This implies
that the animal flesh would be permeated and contaminated with uric acid
and therefore very poisonous; only today did our dietitians realize such a
thing.
Bob: Again, while on the topic of food; Why do Muslims condemn the
eating of pork or ham or any foods related to pigs or swine.
Yunus: Actually, apart from the Quran prohibiting the consumption of
pork bacon (pig flesh); in fact the Bible too in Leviticus chapter 11,verse
8, regarding swine it says,
"of their flesh (of the swine another name for pig)shall you not eat,
and of their carcass you shall not touch; they are " unclean to you."
Further, did you know that a pig cannot be slaughtered at the neck for
it does not have a neck; that is according to its natural anatomy. A
Muslim reasons that if the pig was to be slaughtered and fit for human
consumption the Creator would have provided it with a neck.
"Nonetheless, all that aside, I am sure you are well informed about
the harmful effects of the consumption of pork, in any form, be it pork
chops, ham, bacon.
Bob: The medical science finds that there is a risk for various
diseases as the pig is found to be a host for many parasites and potential
diseases.
Yunus: Yes, even apart from that, as we talked about uric acid content
in the blood, it is important to note that the pig's biochemistry excretes
only 2% of its total uric acid content, the remaining 98% remains as an
integral part of the body.
Note: Islam forbids not only pork but meat of all those animals who
eat their own or some one else's body waste; the most commonly known animal
in this category is pig or swine whose meat is commonly known as pork.
Please forward to others............it may answer some of their
