I'm curious... Does anyone know WHY pigs are so offensive to Muslims? Other than being unclean, what is big deal?

Pigs remind them too much of their political leaders and their mothers.

The islamite religion is a bastardized form of Judaism.

Mosaic Law says:

"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase." - Deuteronomy 14:8

Maybe their prophet got caught with one, after going to the day care center and his bride had already left.

...contact with a pig, an unclean animal for Muslims and Jews, will rob the bomber of the reward of martyrdom, traditionally said to be 72 virgins.

They remind Mohammed of his mother.

Muslims are forbidden by their religion from eating pork or having any contact with pigs.


So averse to pigs are Islamic fundamentalists, that even coming in contact with them – or any part of them, such as their hide – means defiling themselves. It's not a sin to touch, say, a pigskin football, but if they do, they are advised to wash their hands immediately.

Pig-fat products are on the list of items Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia has declared to be against the sharia, the ruling clerics' interpretation of Islamic law.

They stole it from the Bible concerning a Kosher food, that's all, the phoney religion of Islam stole a lot of things from the Bible

In the wild, pigs are one of the cleanest animals...humans confine them to small areas which dirty quickly. If you want to know the taboo on pigs, send me an email and I'll tell you. It has to do with protein/food.

Pigs are forbidden because Muslims are a bunch of compulsive, mentally immature neanderthals. That, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to link themselves to Judaism somehow.

Something they "inherited" from the Jews. Jews aren't supposed to eat pork either. In reality, I suspect the basis for it is not so much that they unclean but that their metabolism is too close to ours. You can catch things from Pigs, the worst of which might be trichinosis. Also anything pig can eat, you could eat and "cut out the middleman" so to speak. As they do with other things, the Musslemen just carried things to a ridiculous extreme.

Still nothing like a good pork chop, a pork roast, or a nice Easter Ham.

Because Pigs are prettier than their women. It's jealousy.
