Indeed, why can not Muslims eat pork?The Koran forbids the eating of pork, the same - in the Bible, there are listed, which animals God gives food to people, and there are no forbidden (pig enters the forbidden).But in this enlightened age, many are wondering, "why can not Muslims eat pork?" Do you have the scientific background of this prohibition?After all, the word "Iman" - "faith" in Arabic, cognate with the Arabic expression "ensure security".Perhaps religious taboos must protect people from something.For example, often assume that the pork can be infected by worms that pigs are "dirty", eating debris and excrement, etc.Some speculate (referring to the scientists) that the pig meat is not digested and generally causes cancer.
Because of what the question was, "Why can not Muslims eat pork?" Appears again and again?Because these arguments do not hold water.In fact, many peoples for centuries eating pork, and suffer no more Muslims, worms can be infected by any kind of untested meat and chickens, too, digging in the garbage (and only coprophagy - eating their own excrement - biologically, they need).And yet, why not eat pork?
There is, perhaps, one major difference from all other pigs' permitted in food "animals.All of them - herbivorous and omnivorous pig is, like, bear, monkey and man ....Moreover, the pig is the same with the person's body temperature, some pig organs are suitable for transplantation to people.Cases where the mutation are born children with pork atavism (eg snout).And pigs acute pain sensitivity (even higher than in humans), herbivores pain sensitivity is much lower.
However, it is not clear why it is impossible to eat pork to Muslims: for ethical reasons, because of the risk of infection with common viruses pig or some other known reason, God.And whether or not it is to find out?As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry."
Often the question arises;whether it is possible for Christians to eat pork?To accurately and clearly answer it have to talk a little bit about the history of religions.
Muslim Koran, the Christian Bible and the Jewish Torah have common roots, they belong to the Abrahamic religions.That is, they all go back to Abraham and to recognize the Old Testament (and Muslims believe that the revelation given to Muhammad by Allah is the religion of Abraham, in its purest form).These religions are based on divine revelation, the proclamation of the laws and the will of God's chosen person and through it - the rest of the people.At the same time, God is considered to be one, unattainable and unknowable.Moses Pentateuch also underlies all these religions.Christianity separated from Judaism with the coming of Christ in the I century AD, since our calendar adopted to conduct the birth of Christ, which the Jews did not recognize.Although the words of Jesus given in the Gospel, he came not to abolish the old commandment, but to supplement them.
Islam appeared in the VII century AD, proclaiming himself the true religion, without distortion (as in Judaism and Christianity, that is, Islam does not deny them, but is intended to fix and clean).The sacred book of Muslims - the Koran;in addition to laws and regulations, data Muhammad, it includes the scrolls of Abraham, the Torah, the Gospel and the Psalms.Scholars of Islam say that God has used to transmit knowledge and sacred covenants through Musa (Moses) and Isa (Jesus), but over time they were perverted people.Only the true believers Mohammed opened covenants Allah.The number of Islamic prophets include Adam and Ibrahim (Abraham) and Iskander (Alexander the Great) and Isa (Jesus), Muhammad is considered the last prophet.
There is still a very young and religion, also relating to the Abrahamic.Religion Baha'i continues all previous Abrahamic religions (in the beginning it was considered an Islamic sect).The founder of her Bahaula considered in this new religion, God's messenger, to continue the work of previous (Christ, Mohammed, and even Krishna).Baha'i claim that God is one and all religions are one.
Thus, it becomes clear that you can not eat pork above all adherents of religions, because this ban is in their common parts of the Bible.It should be added that, according to the most ancient teachings in the world, the Kabbalah (a hidden part of the Torah, the root of all the world religions), the Bible does not speak of our physical world and the spiritual.In this case, the resolution has some species of animals and not the other - actually represents spiritual processes and actions.
