I'm curious... Does anyone know WHY pigs are so offensive to Muslims? Other than being unclean, what is big deal? Maybe their prophet got caught with one, after going to the day care center and his bride had already left.

That's possible. Let's see his other "conquests" -- first wife, much older than him and a wealthy woman, a lot of other wives including one who witnessed Mo slaughtering her (Jewish) father and brother before her very eyes, and the last wife, a 6 year old (when Mo was in his 60s) and Mo consummates the marriage when she turnes 7, ewwwwwwwww.........
And this is their propher.....

One theory I have read about the reasons Judaism had the hoof-rule for pigs is that it wasn't so much for health reasons (this assumes they surely knew how to use/cook pork meat by this time) but that a nearly tribe/culture to the hebrews held pigs either sacred or very unclean, and there was some motive in not alienating the next door culture in the pig law.
