Does anyone know why Muslims don't eat pork?

[Confederate Kahanist]

The answer is they don't want to eat there own kind

Chad,

Funny and probably somewhat true.

[Ulli]

Yes Chaim mentioned something about Mohammed the two legged pig ...

because you know how they steal elements from Judaism and Christianity, and other indigneous religions of Arabia. So, Muhammad forged a half-assed version of Jewish dietary laws known as "halal" food, meaning "permissible".

I know.  I was making a joke.

I think it's because their own "prophet" was such a pig!

Freekarazdic,

I like your answer too!!!

Seriously, they took the concept of not eating pork from the Jews.  But they've gone overboard with it.  They say you can't even touch a pig, which Jews don't agree with.

Why aren't they allowed to touch a pig? I can understand that they don't eat pork, but not touching?
I also have my own personal rules like not touching a Muslim or not talking with a Muslim. I also don't buy Islamic things or go into Islamic shops.

They don't eat pork but drink camel pee! What is worse!?

You are doing the right thing.

Actually, camel urine is regularly used as a beauty tonic in the Middle East.  I've read that it's been used by hairdressers to curtail hair loss, and to make hair thicker.  Why they can't just stick with Rogaine, I don't understand.

Why should they pay for rogaine when they can go over to the local camel and get a spritz or two for free ... I wonder if they bottle it up and sell it by the ounce? Camel Piss#5 anyone

Lisa...

".....They say you can't even touch a pig...."

So how do they procreate so prolifically?

Chad....RE eating pork

You mean Islam prohibits something vile, like cannibalism?

However, "the prophet" allows rape, incest, murder, beatings, etc.

CJD, I believe the camel piss tonic is sold at hair salons and other places.

Hey guys, let's watch the pig jokes. Pigs have feelings too.

[drlmg]

Please accept my apologies!!!

[george_jtf]

LOL!
...does the same goes for why they use their left hand instead of toilet paper to wipe their behind? They want to be able to know how they really smell and taste?
