Why don't muslims eat pork or peanut butter and not allowed to have dogs?
396324
Cause pork has been notoriously bad for people in the past.  Peanut butter doesn't taste good on anything but pork.  And dogs are too cool for them.  They are usually mans best friend, but for some reason the dogs won't be their friends.

To say that God didnt allow people to eat these things anciently because of no refridgeration or anything like that is absurd.  If you believe that then you would have to agree that God is not all knowing.  He must not have realized that one day in the future someone would invent a box to keep ice and meat in because if He did realize it then He surely He would have said "when the ice box in developed you may eat of these unclean animals".  \n\nThe problem here is translation the words "tahor" and "tamei" in hebrew do not translate well in to english so they chose the words "clean" and "unclean".  It is a spiritual teaching using physical things like a pig for instance.  But like any other commandment, if you strip the physical part of actually doing the commandment away, and only focus on the spiritual it will eventually loose its meaning thats why the physical is so important.  This would take me a while to explain but essentially the animals we are not to eat are scavengers, they devour other animals.  The animals that are edible chew cud.  Man was originally made to be vegetarian but when God allowed meat during the time of Noah, He chose animals that chewed cud.  If we were not going to be vegetarians then at least we would only eat animals that chewed cud so we were only one step away in the chain so to speak.  \n\nI dont want to ramble but this is a huge subject that needs to be taught.  There are so many other areas to cover like divided hooves and chewing cud being linked with rightly dividing the word and chewing on it until it becomes milk to feed "baby" believers in Yhwh.  There is really a lot there if you study it out.

Ashkenazi Jews cannot eat rice, beans, and other legumes.  Peanuts are a maybe okay since they didn't exist in Europe - they got added to the list because they're techinically legumes.  It's the dumbest Jewish custom ever.\nOnce forbidden grains, like wheat and barley, were stored near beans and rice, and so eating these products became forbidden.  Sephardic Jews are much smarter and don't have these silly prohibitions.\nI want bread, pasta, rice, mmm.... passover is more difficult than fasting . . .

I think you're referring to some untrue ideas that some people spread about Islam...Let me explain it for you\n\nPictures are Ok to put in a house as long as they're decent pictures, and the people in the house don't worship them (which is reasonable dont you think?)\n\nDogs are not allowed in the house becuase they always tend to be unclean and cleaniness is the base of Islam...Dogs can be used for 2 purposes; hunting and gaurding, but they are preffered to stay out of the house, in the backyard or something...

If the U.S. even suggested such a thing, there would be a huge surge of protests and horror at the idea.  In South Korea, they don't spend money on domestic animals, unless they are buying dog meat to make dinner.  In the U.S. we treat our animals like part of the family, both dogs and cats.  I don't believe anyone in the U.S. would even suggest such a thing without having proof piled upon proof that it was necessary, and even then millions of Americans would be hiding their animals to prevent their slaughter.

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.

I think you may be confusing Jesus' ministry with your respect for animals.  I understand and respect your beliefs, but I really don't think anyone who eats an animal product is being untrue to anything Jesus taught or to Christmas.

The Gods and Goddesses of my religion don't care one way of the other about what I eat or don't eat.\n\nBut there's some really interesting stuff out there in cyberspace about the whole anti-pork stuff:\n\nhttp://www.islamset.com/hip/pork/Abdussalam.html#11

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.

I don't believe it's illegal to eat dog in America, but it's not something that's looked upon as a good thing.

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.

The dress of Muslim women comes from the understanding that everthing on a womans body is attractive. The aim is to eliminate superficial judgement of women and encourage respect for women and modesty. Muslim women are supposed to cover their bodies with loose clothing including the hair. The other Abrahamic religions (Christianity and Judaism) both originally had that rule in place. Over time Christians have eliminated it although some women still put something over their hair when they go to church although they have lost focus of the the aim behind it. Many Orthodox Jewish women also cover their hair but they have also relaxed the rule. Some cover their own hair with a wig or allow a bang or stray side wisps to show. As far as the prohibition to eat pork, I don't know exactly what the reason is but I do know that it is considered an unsanitary animal. Islam prohibits drinking alchohol. This is one of the things that Muslims understand will be enjoyed in Paradise. That being said, please understand that not everyone follows all the rules just like in any other religion. So you may find a Muslim that does drink alchohol or show their hair or eat pork. That doesn't mean that they are not Muslim. They are a sinning Muslim that can always repent.

Let's also ban Foi gras, Veal, stupid parents, dog sledding, hunting without rpg's (the only humane way to kill), choker leashes, corporal punishment of any kind, verbal abuse, unkind words, any jokes that make people uncomfortable, boxing yada yada. I don't eat veal because I believe it is cruel but I don't believe we should live in a world where we try to satisfy every person's (or even the majorities) sensibilities. Why don't you just leave people alone and improve the world by creating opportunities for people instead of trying to tell them what they can't do. Freedom is messy everything else is messier.

Why the hell not?? It's totally hypocritical to complain about people eating dogs - have you ever seen a cow/pig/sheep/chicken being slaughtered in YOUR country??? Go and watch it some day, THEN you will have the right to criticise other countries ... IF they really do behave worse than YOUR country! But farming dogs for food is NO different to farming cows/sheep/chickens/pigs for food! People NEED protein!! Meat contains protein, so why shouldn't they eat it??!!\n\nAs it happens, it's a lot less common than it used to be - because the Korean people have no need to rely on dogs for their protein nowadays! And people are keeping dogs as pets now too, so as the number of dog owners goes up, the number of willing dog-eaters naturally goes down. If YOU had a pet sheep that you loved, and it slept on the end of your bed, would you want to eat lamb?
