Well, even the Christian version of the Bible states not to eat pork to “enjoy a long and healthy life.”

Perhaps G-d knew pigs are digusting, disease-ridden animals, with an immune system periously close to humans and provided certain advice for the common good.

(Yes, I am Jewish and no, I don’t seek to impose Kosher requirements on others. But sometimes one might find common sense in these requirements. For example, nerve endings and brains are not Kosher -— and that’s where mad cow disease resides.)

I’ve always assumed the opposition to eating pork arose from sanitation issues in pre Christian times. Yes I agree that eating nerves and brains isn’t kosher even for us gentiles. LOL

I will neither agree nor disagree with the religious implications of the consumption or handling or swine. Yet, it can be established that Islamofacists do not come near swine and many of their vowed mortal enemies do (the Jewish world excluded of course). My Tin Hat is still firmly on.

Shalom and Regards.
