Why muslims dont eat pork and Hindus dont eat cow or beef's meat ?

This is a question that I had since a long time

Why is it that mojority of the muslims dont like pork and hindus dont eat cows meat or beef.

I know one friend of me who is a muslim who eats pork but most of them dont.

Is eating this kind of meat bad ? or has religion to play a role in this.

Sorry also jews who dont eat pork edited

I just need a answer and not flaming posts please

 

well basically us muslims believe only Allah can decide what we eat and since Allah never allowed pork therefore we cannot eat it, aswell as we believe it is a dirty animal and has many negatives to it.

i hope this is true for most muslims

and your friend must be a non practising muslim.

 

Shellfish/pork have a high probably of disease, unless cooked properly. So having people just avoid them seems to be an easy solution - and no easier to way to make sure people follow is to tell them god said so. To me at least. Not sure if its the root of it, but I think it has some common sense to it.

 

He says he reads the quaran every day, and he does stuff that no one does

 

Exactly true and we believe if Allah disallow something then there must be something bad with it so thats why it is forbidden.

 

I know in the bible in the old testament God forbid us to eat some animals and that included pigs meat, after Jesus came he changed all that.

I think it was partly because in those days no one knew how pigs effected people , because they were carrying infestating parasites. but now things have changed , it is no longer the case. God was wise so he commanded that then, because people had no knowledge like it is now

I never heard any report of any one getting sick in the US or as a matter of fact any other european country where , pork is eaten a lot.

 

Because they don't know what is good and don't know how to enjoy some tasty steak

 

No, "Jesus" did not change all that, you were taught wrong by your swine eating preacher!

 

hehe welcome back

 

Another anti-Muslim post by ezguy - when will it stop.

I see you threw in Hindus to try and make yourself seem less of a Muslim hater.

No surprise that there is no mention of the fact that Jews dont eat pork.

Again, just write 'I hate Muslims' in your sig and stop making these useless threads.

 

Keep rocking

 

He will always be welcome on Nintendo's Wacko forum for sure !!

 

Muslims believe that Allah owns this world and He have created a set of rules under which we should lead our lives. Its just like you have to and should follow the rules of a country which you live in.

And Allah has forbidden Muslims from eating the pig/pork and some other animals as well.

Some Hindus also don't eat cow for some religious reason.

 

I did not know that jews also dont eat pork, so I edited the post

 

I think you dont know wat is good what is bad.

 

Its forbidden by God.

And today we have come to know that pork is the most unhygienic form of meat. Many many diseases are known to be caused only from pork.

Therefore, God knows what we don't. What He says, is always best for us whether we know it or not.

 

may be westerners altered kuran so that muslims don't eat pork and they will have enough supply to enjoy juicy steak


j.k.

 

The Quran cannot be altered.

I like beef steaks though!

 

Not Some, any Hindu doesnt eat beef.

Hindus give a mother status to cow, its a holy animal for them so they cant eat it.

Yeah I like pork very much. Its yummy

 

Enjoy your next meal of swine people !!!
