There is a fundamental difference between Jews and Muslims: Jews don't go around killing people randomly and saying that God told them to jihad t What in thtere are numerous scriptures of animals that God said NOT to eat and Pork/pigs is one of them, but I don't know why your going off on a different subject altogether. Sheesh !!

ARABS didn't stop eating pork until Mohammed. (Well after 70 A.D., by the way.)
That's why.
You don't seem to understand that.
BIG difference there.
And to try to equate Islam with Judaism is a fallacy.
"Muslims and Jews share that same practice of no PORK/Pigs etc."
You're forgetting that Muslims didn't exist at the time of the "Swine miracle".
And I was answering a question as to why there were pigs on said hill in the first place.
They were tended by an arab boy.
ARAB, not Jew. No sane Jew worth his salt would go anywhere near a pig. But an arab from that time, pig was just another edible animal.
Does that clear it up, or are you still confused?
