Muslims do not eat pig, since it is mentioned in the Quran\n\n"He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name has been invoked besides that of God. But if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then is he guiltless. For God is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful."  Quran 2:173.

In the Muslim world, pigs are the lowest, dirtiest animals and it is forbidden to eat them.  To give a pig the human qualities of speech, intelligence and a personality is highly blasphemous!

Of course muslims are against EATING PORK.... but in this world of McJOBS, if there is no other option then they can serve pork to non-muslims and in Quran or Hadith I have not found any quote that muslims can not serve PORK.

ALHAMDUILLAH, May Allaah swt guide you to Truth, Aameen. There's gonna be a lot shaytaans trying to convince you that you have made a mistake these are peoople who Allaah says he will never guide due to their love for this life and their pagan idealogy. Keeping in mind that non-muslims will not invite you to good and  don't want the good for you.  Allaah says in the Qur'an: There is no compulsion in the religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut (Anything worshipped other than the Allah the only true god) and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower. (Al-Baqarah 2:256)\nIf you are a Muslim or not as TABOOBUSTER has stated then an invitation to Islaam is always needed for some Muslims who have become distance in the deen and Allaah is the one who makes Muslims not us. No one knows your heart except Allaah if you are true in your speech or not Allaah knows it before we do so just continue to learn and embrace Islaam with total submission to your Lord (Allaah) the Orginator of the Heavens and Earth. As far as Muslim being uneducated Islaam doesn't promote that and is Free from the foolish claims (TABOOBUSTER) reguardless if you hate Muslims or not don't speak about them if you don't know them. That's like asking a vegatarian about red meat whilst you know the vegatarian doesn't eat the meat so this individual can't tell you about something he has no knowledge of. Anyway in brief here is an article about who is Allaah? \n\nAllaah is the proper name applied to the true God who exists necessarily by  Himself comprising all the excellent Divine names and attributes of perfection.  Allaah is One and Unique. He has no son, no partner, nor equal. He is the sole  Creator and Sustainer of the universe. Every creature bears witness to His  Oneness,  Divinity,  and  Ruboobiyyah  [1],  and  to  the  uniqueness  of  His  attributes and names.  His essence does not resemble the essences. He does not inhere in anything,  nor does anything inhere in Him. "There is none like unto Him." He is the  One, the Sole, the Indivisible. He is the Rubb [2] who accomplishes all affairs,  Allaah is the Omnipotent and the Omniscient.  His knowledge comprehends in perfect manner all things, hidden or manifest.  He is greater than can be encompassed by the knowledge of His creatures. He  knows everything, and He is aware of all that takes place in the earth and the  heavens. Allaah, the Supreme, is the Rubb of everything and has a free hand  in disposal of all affairs.  His  mercy  encompasses  everything.  He  is  far  removed  from  injustice  or  tyranny. He is wise in all His actions, just in all His decrees. His justice ensures  order in the universe in which nothing is out of order.  There is no one to share His dominion, nor does He take an aide or supporter  from His creatures. He is nearer to man than man's own jugular vein [3].  Whenever a believer is in need or distress calls on Him, He responds.  Allaah  has  revealed  His  final  Scripture,  the  Qur'an,  to  that  last  of  His  Messengers,  Muhammed  (SAW)  who  was  responsible  for  conveying  the  Message of Islam to mankind. He is the Exalted Allaah. Glory is due to Him.  \n\nFootnotes & References \n[1] Ruboobiyyah, inf. of Rubb  \n[2] Some translate the term 'Rubb' into 'Lord', the meaning of 'Rubb' is far more comprehensive than to be restricted to a  single word such as 'Lord'. Rubb, means, among other things, the Creator, the Sustainer, the Provider, and the One in whose  hands is the disposal of all affairs.  \n[3] Q 50:16

Both the Bible and the Qur’an prohibit the eating of pork. Muslims are aware of this prohibition and observe it strictly. However, most readers of the Bible say they do not know where they can find this in the Bible.\n\n      In the book of Leviticus, chapter 11, v. 7, it is recorded that God declares the pig to be unclean for believers. Then, in verse 8, God says: “You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.” This command is repeated in Deuteronomy 14:7-8. Then, in Isaiah 65:2-4, and 66:17, God issues a stern warning against those who eat pork.\n\n      Some people are aware of this prohibition from God, but they say that they can eat pork because St. Paul said that all food is clean in his letter to the Romans 14:20. St. Paul said this because he believed (as he wrote in his letter to the Ephesians 2:14-15) that Jesus had abolished the Law with all its commandments and regulations. He seems, however, to have misunderstood what he heard about Jesus. In the Gospel According to Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus is reported to have said quite the contrary, as follows: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law . . . ." \n\n      Jesus then went on in that passage (in verse 19) to denounce anyone who would break the smallest commandment and teach others likewise. He also praised his true followers who will practice and teach even the smallest commandment. One of the commandments, as we have seen, is to stay away from pork.\n\n      This is why the true followers of Jesus, holding on to his teachings, did not let unclean food such as pork enter their mouths, so that Peter, the chief disciple, can say, “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean” (Acts of the Apostles, ch. 10, v. 14)\n\n      Five chapters later in the Acts of the Apostles, 15:29, we find that the original disciples still differentiate between clean and unclean foods, and this time Paul is in agreement with them. Six chapters later, in ch. 21, v. 25, their decision to impose food regulations on believers is mentioned without regret, and this time Paul is challenged to prove that he is in agreement with them; and he demonstrated his full agreement with them.\n\n      What remains, then, is that Jesus, on whom be peace, upheld the prohibition against pork. His disciples also upheld it, and so must all his followers. Those who fail to uphold it need to be informed and reminded of this rule from God. This is one reason why God sent His final messenger, on whom be peace. God says:\n\n      “O people of the Scripture ! Now has Our Messenger come unto you, expounding unto you much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much. Now has come unto you light from Allah and a plain Scripture.” (The Meaning of the Glorious Qur’an 5:15)

Muslims don't eat pork because it is haraam, unclean and forbidden.\n\nMany Hindus [though definitely not all] are vegetarian- they don't eat pork and beef in addition to chicken, turkey, fish, mutton, and any other kind of meat- because they believe in the sacredness of all life and ahimsa [nonviolence]. They see killing an animal as an act of violence. Also, an animal, being equal with humans in that its life is also valued and sacred, has as much right to live, in their belief, as a human. Almost all Hindus stay away from beef, even if they eat other kinds of meat, because in our belief the cow is life-giving and particularly worthy of respect. We believe that it is wrong to kill a cow because cows provide milk, manure which acts like fertilizer for the soil [many Hindus lived off agriculture in the past] and many other essentials. Lord Krishna, a Hindu God who was an avatar of Vishnu, was a cowherd and loved cows dearly.

Yes, you can, but not all of them.\n\nSome Mosque like the ones in Mecca and Medina, you can't enter even if you were starving to death, but they probably bring the food out for you.  outside of these cities.  Because if you are not Muslim, you are unholy, unclean, Nijis.  so your feet can't touch their holy city ground, unless you convert! then you become clean! \n\ndraw your own picture.  These are facts, I didn't make anything up.  They are known for their hospitality, and giving or providing food for those who needs it is not out of the ordinary.

As long as being an active member does not make the Muslim go against the teachings of Islam then yes. There are alot of the things in the Western culture that goes against the teachings of Islam, Christianity, Judaism and many other religions. They still manage to live in these societies and stick to their beliefs so why can't Muslims. The problem does not lie with the Muslims, but with those who want the Muslims to change. What is wrong with a Muslim women wearing a veil. She is minder her own business and doing her own thing. Does her veil make her not part of the community? Or because the Muslims do not go to the bar on Friday night or eat BBQ ribs with you at the company picnic make them not part of the community? Just because they live their lives different does not mean they are not part of the community. I don't see these kinds of questions being asked of strict Christians who live their lives similar to Muslims. Sounds like a double standard to me.

Some Christians don't know all the answers, that's what there is to fall back on. There are answers for those questions however..\n\n\nWhat do you think they ate while they were on the ark? There has been lots of research done on these issues.\n\n\n\n\nedit: Just wanted to say that the Muslims do not have the logical answers. There are so many contradictions in the  Koran it's not even funny.

Nice question, mate. I guess if the muslims said it was part of their religious observance, they'd be allowed to continue. Somehow don't think it would work if the Christians tried the same trick, though.

It's against Christianity, Islam and Judaism to eat pork. people do it anyway because it taste good.\n\nkosher-The law of clean and unclean meats can be found in the book of Leviticus 11:.  Yah gave us meats that are clean or healthy for us to eat, this is what the term clean meats refer to.  Jews have created a word that many think is the proper Hebrew term  for clean meats.  This word as you may know is Kosher.  Kosher is not the Hebrew word for clean meats, it doesn't  refer to the laws of clean and unclean meats.  Kosher refers to the way the animal is slaughtered, and how to drain a majority of it's blood.  They have  Kosher pigs, in fact the state of Israel has one of the largest pig farms in the world.  \n\nLeviticus 11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.\n8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.\n\nAny animal can be Kosher as long as it's slaughtered according to the Jewish law. Just because you see Kosher on a food label does not mean that product contains 100% clean meat. All it means it that the animal used for that product was slaughter in a certain way that the rabbi's approved of.

both muslims and jews would, if they knew it came from hogs, probably not accept it as a medicinal product, not because it wouldn't help, but because , to them, pork, and anything derived from it, is unclean to them. however, some jews, and possibly muslims, who do not fully follow the dietary laws, would probably allow the medicine to be used.\ni know that some of the reformed jews even eat bacon and ham because they are aware of the original purpose of the ditery laws as being used to prevent the ingestion of certain organisms which can cause extreme illness, and even death, when the meat is not fully cooked. pork is a transmitter of the smal cysytic parasite which causes elephantiasis, an illness which causes the leg to become huge, and useless as a limb used to walk on.

Cosha? You mean 'kosher'? That has to do with Jewish preparation, they have all kinds of rules too.\n\nMuslims and Jews do not eat pork of any type because the pig is considered an unclean animal. It's an omnivore, which means it can and will eat anything, and in the desert regions of the world, where these religions originated, the pigs ate whatever they could find, and it was often carrion, old rotting meat, even human remains ... so naturally pork wasn't considered safe for human consumption. If you look through old newspapers, you will find gruesome stories of pigs attacking very young children because the pigs are hungry and the children are there ... and easily overpowered. But the pigs are omnivores ... like us.

Islamic law prohibits a Muslim from eating the meat of any animal which itself eats meat, such as pork, monkey, dog or cat. These animals are haram (unlawful).For the meat of an animal to be halal (lawful) it must be one of the declared halal animals, it must be slaughtered by a Muslim, and the animal may not be killed by being boiled or electrocuted. Some Muslim clerics have ruled that the animal does not have to be killed by a Muslim, but may be slaughtered by a Jew or a Christian. Thus, some observant Muslims will accept kosher meat (meat prepared in accord with Jewish law) as halal.\n\nAs for fish, Muslims are told that all that comes from the sea (fish) are lawful and good to eat.

They don't have to eat it!!....j/k\nSeriously, it's the principle of defending your ideals. That's why they always refer to those individuals as "infidels", the are seen as a threat to their belief system.\nAlways keep in mind that, unfortunately, people use religion and interpret those beliefs in a manner that justify their actions.
