So why exactly can't the muslims eat pork? The podcast seems to mention some kind of disease
spread by pigs as the real reason, but did anybody catch the names of those diseases? I didn't. I
could only make out that muslim religious leaders were very particular about healthy food and they
thought pigs (and some other kinds of animals) were unhealthy.

Also, what was that segment about the Jews in china?

Muslims don't eat pork because it is declared forbidden (حرام) in the Qur'an, one reason is
because pigs are omnivores, Muslims are only allowed to eat meat of pure herbivores and they also
have to be slaughtered by a Jew/Christian/Muslim in the name of God following the prescribed
proper slaughtering method (ذبيحة). Jews also have similar prohibitions, how these
prohibitions were arrived at were explained in the podcast. The talk about pigs carrying disease
is because the original Jews and Muslims lived in hot arid places, where pigs are difficult to
raise in a domestic setting, even if they are domesticated, pigs have a bad habit of eating almost
everything that could be eaten, including rotten foods and feces, combined with the climate of
West Asia/North Africa, pigs there are easily susceptible to being infected with contagious
diseases. No specific disease was mentioned in the podcast. The mention of Jews in China are that
they have similar customs with the Muslims and many converted/assimilated into the Muslim
community in China.

This is not true because not all fish are herbivorous.
How come fish are not haraam?

shibo77 -

This is an exception to the rule. Fish with scales are considered "prey" and thus are allowed. But
sharks are forbidden because they are considered "predators". There are some differences regarding
this matter between different sects...

Koneko -

I see. Then, how about other top predator fish like tuna, marlin, barracuda, etc?
Eel and catfish do not have scales, are they edible?

Its similar with us Seventh-Day Adventists. We do not eat pork (and a lot of other animals too) or
any fish without fins and scales.

Buddhist monks are, perhaps, a little bit more fortunate.
They're vegan but they can have fake meat made from dough 面筋.

That is very different from Cantonese people, which like fins with no fish.



Quote:

That type is pretty much the worst type vegetarian you can get. I can't understand the logic
behind it too, if you are a vegetarian why you have to copy meat? Makes it sounds like being
vegetarian is a great sacrifice.
