Islam decrees that followers cannot eat meat from a pig as it creates "lowliness in character and destroys moral and spiritual faculties in a man".

If this is true I suspect that eating pork is more widespread in the Muslim world than is commonly known.

I went to work for a Jewish man in 1970. We made a business trip together, and at breakfast, he ordered bacon and eggs. I was incredulous, but he assured me he could still be a Jew, and eat pig meat.

He was a member of a reformed synagogue... and of course liked oysters and shrimp, as well! He was later elected the City mayor, and President of his synagogue! He is resting in peace, these days. I hope he listened to my Christian witness!

During the first Desert War, Iraqis bought MRE from east germany which uses primary pork! Still get a kick out of that!
