people didnt eat pork in those days because they had no fridges and pork becomes poison very quickly in the heat ,the church put religious reasons behind it for a public health situation.\n\nnobody in those days new about the health hazzards of smoking.

jews that keep kosher do not eat pork. under the commandments, jews keep kosher because it is healthier for them. pork is considered unhealthy because it rolls and bathes itself in mud. for example, shrimp, crab, lobster, and crusteaceans are not kosher because they eat dirt from the ocean floor.

I don't smoke, but always did say I'd never forbid others to do so, and you're right, it's fascist, BUT my attitude changed because some other substances, much less harmful than nicotine, are also forbidden. So, now they only have to ban alcohol (well, for you Americans, it's AGAIN :)), meat (killing animals), expressing your opinion, and other liberties, and we'll have ourselves a nice little clean world where you play like a good sheep or get incinerated. Long live utopia, where all the people are happy ('cause if they're not happy, they're dead).

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)

Pork isn't really a Muslim's thing but I bet they will get into Heaven way before some hateful girl that just wants to rile people up. \nOne Planet=One People

As u said Hindus are the ones who worship cows, so they don't eat meat. But muslims are allowed to eat meat, except for pork. The reason for not eating pork, was identified recently by scientists and doctors, it was discovered that due to the prok eating manners, that they eat whatever they find infront of them, and this causes that some of what they eat are stored in their body [meat] which when a human being eats its meat, it becomes part of his body, and causes some diseases.\n\nso after all Allah had his reason to forbidden us from eating pork. He always knows the best for us.

Largely because the people who decide what should and should not be tolerated are smokers.  There is currently a bill in the NH Senate to ban smoking in all eating establishments.  It passed the House, and the Governor approves of it, but the Senate may kill it.  Why, because they all smoke!  I still hope the bill does pass.  NH is the only state in New England that does not have such a ban in place.  It has not hurt patronage to restaurants in the other states. In fact, patronage has increased.  I know there are restaurants I refuse to go into due to smoking.  I have the same problem you do compounded by anxiety reaction to a nicotine allergy.  I refuse to go into a Blakes, Friendly's or Applebees restaurant because of the smoking.  They would get my business if smoking were banned. \nI find that, generally speaking, most smokers are the most thoughtless, inconsiderate people on the planet.  They don't care if their smoking infringes on the rights of others.  They don't care if it is harmful to others.  They make a huge mess by dumping the butts all over the place because they are lazy slobs.  The worst thing is that they drop them into mulch in public landscaping thinking it is a safe spot, when it is the most dangerous spot to put it.  Mulch is highly flammable and you have no idea how many mulch fires and smolderings I have had to put out over the years!  It is their right to harm themselves, but they have no right to infringe on the rights of others who do not wish to be exposed.  Rights have to be earned, not given.  Furthermore, rights come with responsibility.  If your rights infringe upon the rights of others, then find some other way or place to assert your rights where no one else can be harmed or bothered.  That's my 2 cents!

I agree, no wants to smell smoke when they eat.... however.... I strongly disagree on banning it from bars, cigs and beer go hand and hand for most people, infact people who dont smoke, will often ONLY light up while drinking.

No.  And they serve pork.  But you can ask for your child to have no pork if you like.  They can't do anything about the Halal beef, other than possibly (a) suggest that you send lunch for your child yourself or (b) suggest a vegetarian lunch instead.\n\nThere are 2 Muslim students at my school.  One of them eats vegetarian, because his parents do not want him to eat beef that isn't Halal.  The other one eats other beef, but just eats a special diet of "no pork" -- so that when we have sausage, pepperoni or ham, they will give her something else.\n\nWe are a state school, however, and your school may not do this for your children.  They may simply tell you that you have to provide your own lunches if you have this dietary requirement.\n\nHope it helps.

Once again political correctness steps on the rights of the majority so as not to offend the minority. We have so many so called " Do-Gooders " who think everything should be fair and equal, that they don't stop to realize that instead of fair and equal they're biased in another direction. I'm not EVEN a smoker and it baffles me as to why someones "right " to not see someone smoking or possibly smell smoke in an open air facility, overides the smokers " right ' to smoke. Who determined this ? I'm not a Christian, Catholic or Jew...but why is it that these religions can openly be taken pot shots at...while we have apologists for fanatical Muslims ? Why does a homosexual couples " right " to expression of public affection override my " right " to NOT want to see expressions of homosexual public affection ?As far as I'm concerned when it comes to these Liberal " Let's make everything fair by taking away tradition " Jerks ...F*ck Em !!! They'll have to pry my Santa, Nativity scene, Easter Bunny, Kwaanzaa Candles, Star of David, American flag and .44 Magnum out of my cold,dead hands!!!!

wrap them in pig intestines and send them back to the middle east. You think this may be inhumane but if the body is wrapped in pig meat, then Islamic's don't believe they will go to heaven. You do that enough times and people may stop blowing themselves up out of a fear of not going to heaven.

I rarely eat pork.\nPork is not forbidden for Christians.\nAll things are lawful, but not all are expedient\nJust use moderation and common sense.\n\nruby.rodd,\nChrist did not put away or end the Law.\nHe FULFILLED it.\nThe problem is, most do not understand it.\n\nBTW, According to LEVITICUS chicken is also an unclean animal.\n Do you eat chicken?

I'm muslim and there is no such thing as a "forbidden word" in our religion. We have what may seem like many things forbidden in Islam only because they are bad for us. For example:\n1- alcahol makes you drunk and makes you do things you wouldn't normally do\n2- pork is full of tiny bugs and bacteria that pigs eat and that doesn't die when cooked\n3- adultery... pretty obvious\n4- haveing a sexual relationship before marrage just help ruin a relationship you will have in the future with your spouse\nour religion is firm on these things so that we live healthy, good lives, these aren't unallowed just to give us a hard time.

Camels, not pigs. They go to hell for touching pigs. Blowing people up is okay, though.\n\nBTW- don't you just love these people who rip on Americans but don't identify their own country?
