Again, these things were supposedly given to Muhammed by Allah. Allah is supposed to be perfect in every way, that means that you should be able to take a sentence "out of context" and apply it in your own life, as the very words of Allah should be incomprehesibly perfect, from the syllables to the sentence structure.
What you're doing, is admitting that Allah is not perfect, or that Allah does not exist.
You are essentially forgetting grammars of a language to blame Islam. Great!
you guys don't eat pork because of a book written 2000 years ago....
Two corrections.
1. Qur'an is ~1400 years old holy book not 2000 years.
2. Qur'an wasn't actually written.
It's true. In fact, if Islam hasn't forbidden it, I may not have done more research why it was forbidden. When I did, I found out pork is bad for health and another thing I found out is that there is always a good reason for prohibiting/forbidding a thing.

I actually don't see a problem with that.
For example there was a native American Indian language that had words for these numbers. One, two, three, and "many."
Obviously the words expressed reality poorly.
You guys are the ones claiming Islam and the Koran are "perfect." You are the ones that have to support that claim.
Maybe the reason this is difficult is because you live in an area where someone taking the opposing view would be severely punished? Hence you have no history of debate on such matters.
Then came the Internet.
Uh, Spendulus, I am sad to see you also essentially forgetting grammars. There words like "but", "and" etc... and signs like ",", ";", "&", "-" etc... which connects two sentences. In Arabic there are words and signs like these too. Removing that words and/or signs, seperate two sentences, take one of them and tell it is not perfect actually shows it is a mistake of human who did it.
Are you kidding me ? Can you show me ONE SCIENTIFIC study/paper (nature.com etc) saying that pork meat is bad for your health ? Your 1400 year old book says that you shouldn't eat pork and you do that immediately...no questions asked....that's the BIG problem with you guys(muslims), you don't filter much information, you just take it for granted because your 1400 years old book says so...
This is the seed of extremism, not being able to think for yourself and being a puppet for others...this type of "puppet thinking" affects all Muslims in various degrees and you are the perfect example...educated ones don't eat pork and illiterate ones blow themselves up for the 7 virgins or whatever cookie is thrown at them in the Qur'an
The correct order of thinking should be :
1. Think
2. Act
Not the other way around... otherwise we are no different than animals...
You don't follow "think & act" like you tell to hate Islam and to spread hatred. Can't you even do a search on Internet if you don't have books? You should start doing "think & act". We also "think & act" but sometimes, like all humans, we do "act & think" and the consequences maybe bad or good.
It’s a fact—ham, sausage, and bacon strips will go right to your hips. Eating pork products, which are loaded with artery-clogging cholesterol and saturated fat, is a good way to increase your waistline and increase your chances of developing deadly diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, asthma, and impotence. Research has shown that vegetarians are 50 percent less likely to develop heart disease, and they have 40 percent of the cancer rate of meat-eaters. Plus, meat-eaters are nine times more likely to be obese than pure vegetarians are.http://www.peta.org/living/food/top-10-reasons-eat-pigs/https://www.google.co.in/search?q=why+pork+is+bad.for+healthCan't you READ ? I said one scientific paper or magazine not a vegetarian blog saying that "Animals are not ours"...
SCIENTIFIC means, a paper written by SCIENTISTS, get it now ? You find these type of information on nature.com magazines, the tests are made using clinical trials with two groups of participants....this is how science works, clinical trials my friend....not 1400 year old books
here is something new for you to read
http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v66/n6/full/ejcn20126a.htmlConclusion:
Moderate meat consumption, up to ~100 g/day, was not associated with increased mortality from ischemic heart disease, stroke or total cardiovascular disease among either gender.I gave links from other websites, not verses from Qur'an or Hadiths.
We are talking about pigs not all meats. It is proved from studies that pigs are bad for health. There is no rule or facts that makes articles except from nature.com is false. Please don't expect any more replies. I may or may not reply.
Edit: He added few more lines.
P.S - My point is not to convince you to eat pork ( I don't like it either, although sometimes I do eat it) but my point is that you (Muslims) don't think for yourself, you take for granted a 1400 year old book and just follow the instructions without thinking
My point is that you want to spread hatred but you don't know what you are talking about or is effectively inserting off-topic things. When we discuss about pig, you tell a conclusion about pig and other animals but not just pigs.
I quote from :
http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v66/n6/full/ejcn20126a.htmlSubjects/methods:
We conducted a prospective cohort study of 51 683 Japanese (20 466 men and 31 217 women) aged 40–79 years living in all of Japan (The Japan Collaborative Cohort Study; JACC Study). Consumptions of meat (beef, pork, poultry, liver and processed meat) were assessed via a food frequency questionnaire administrated at baseline survey.
Conclusion:
Moderate meat consumption, up to ~100 g/day, was not associated with increased mortality from ischemic heart disease, stroke or total cardiovascular disease among either gender.That translates that pork meat it's just as healthy as beef and others.
There is no rule or facts that makes articles except from nature.com is falseThey made this study on 50,000 people....the study was scientific not blog articles that you can write yourself...If you want to read the whole study it costs $32 USD , because it is scientific and lot of time and resources were involved...you get it now ? Nature.com vs peta.org
That's a no brainer decision but you choose the information that the Qur'an likes ...the one where pork meat is bad for you
Like I said I don't like pork meat either, but at least I don't let others think for me....
The study was not just pig meats but most eaten meats. It doesn't make pig as healthy as other meats like you said.
Pork are omnivorous scavenging animals that literally eat everything. From rotten food to dead carcasses nothing escapes their menu. They not only eats bugs, insects, and whatever leftover scraps they find laying around, but also their own feces, as well as the dead carcasses of sick animals, including their own young. This is why the fat that builds up in their muscles is far more than any other meet that we eat. This itself can explain why the meat of the pig can be so dirty or at the very least not so appetizing to consume.
Pork meat is loaded with toxins, more than most other meats like beef and chicken.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that more than 100 viruses come to the United States through pigs.
You’re probably familiar with H1N1, better known as ‘the swine flu.” This too is a virus that has made the leap from pig to human. But H1N1 is not the only disease to fear from the pig. There are other sicknesses you can get from eating the meat of the pig.
There are reasons that the meat of the pig becomes more saturated with toxins than many of its counterpart farm animals. The first reason has to do with the digestive system of a pig.
A pig digests whatever it eats rather quickly, in up to about four hours. On the other hand a cow takes a good twenty-four hours to digest what it’s eaten. During the digestive process, animals (including humans) get rid of excess toxins as well as other components of the food eaten that could be dangerous to health.
Since the pig’s digestive system operates rather basically, many of these toxins remain in their system to be stored in their more than adequate fatty tissues ready for our consumption.
Another issue with the pig is that it doesn’t have any sweat glands. Sweat glands are a tool the body uses to be rid of toxins. This leaves more toxins in the pig’s body.
It takes the human body more than 6 hours to digest the smallest stake and pork eaters often eat more than just one stake per meal. Pork becomes a problem when consumed in excess and it leads to a severe back up in the digestive system. This back up can make it difficult to absorb essential micronutrients from foods (malabsorption). Over time, undigested foods will putrefy in the stomach and small intestines leading to toxicity in the body.
Pigs carry a variety of parasites in their bodies and meat. Some of these parasites are difficult to kill even when cooking. One of the biggest concerns with eating pork meat is trichinellosis or trichinosis. This is an infection that humans get from eating undercooked or uncooked pork that contains the larvae of the trichinella worm. If it enters the human body it lodges itself directly into the heart muscles and poses an immediate danger of fatal heart failure.
In fact, it’s been theorized that trichinellosis is the exact cause of Mozart’s rather sudden death at age 35. An American researcher theorized this after studying all the documents recording the days before, during, and after Mozart’s death. He found that Mozart suffered many of the above listed symptoms and he, himself, had recorded in his journal the consumption of pork just forty-four days before his own death.
Pigs carry many viruses and parasites with them. Whether by coming in direct contact with them through farms or by eating their meat we put ourselves at higher risk of getting one of these painful, often debilitating diseases (not to mention put our bodies on toxic overload.)
Pigs are primary carriers of:
• Taenia solium tapeworm
• Hepatitis E virus (HEV)
• PRRS (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome)
• Nipah virus
• Menangle virus
Each of these parasites and viruses can lead to serious health problems that can last for years to come.

Hey, you like peta.org.
I like pweeta.org
Look, we all know about illnesses one can get from eating undercooked pork. Amazon4u's assertions are valid because after humans learn about a problem, they can fix it by being carefully to cook properly. "The ban" on pigs was based on people having no clue about why they caused illness. That's an ignorant 1400 year old policy.
Enough said.
Not you too.
Yes, undercooked pork meat is really dangerous like I mentioned above but you (deliberately?) forgotten cooked pork meat because it is dangerous too. Please read above.
