    According to the all knowing wiki:

    A variety of substances are considered as harmful (haraam) for humans to consume and, therefore, forbidden as per various Quranic verses:

    Pork meat (i.e., flesh of pig)[Qur'an 2:173]
    Blood[Qur'an 2:173]
    Animals slaughtered in the name of anyone but Allah. All that has been dedicated or offered in sacrifice to an idolatrous altar or saint or a person considered to be "divine"[Qur'an 2:173] [Qur'an 5:3]
    Carrion[Qur'an 2:173]
    An animal that has been strangled, beaten (to death), killed by a fall, gored (to death), savaged by a beast of prey (except that which you may have slaughtered while it was still alive)[Qur'an 5:3]
    Food over which Allah's name is not pronounced (or at least not in a name other than Allah)[Qur'an 6:121]
    Alcohol and other intoxicants[Qur'an 5:090]


    Or as we like to say, not a hope in Hell.

    Exactly what is wrong with eating Pig? Or an animal that was killed by strangulation? It all seems bizarre to me, rules for rules sake.

    Pigs are assumed to eat their crap. Strangulation is forbidden because blood stands for life, when the animal is dead it's still full of blood.

    I think the reason both Judaism and Islam forbid pork is due to the desert origins of the religions, as keeping large numbers of pigs wasn't sustainable in their ecosystem since their diet is so different from other livestock.

    Also, according to wikipedia, the Jewish aversion to Pork probably existed before it was forbidden by the law, and the negative viewing of meats can become a cultural thing. Found a page that suggests its closer to home than I realised. <---- another link, why don't they show up
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
