Someone posted this on sal's. I'm just copypastaing.
Hi guys: I was hoping that since this forum has a good number of Muslims on it, one could explain something for me.
First of all, I want to say what I THINK I know, so if I'm wrong, please correct me because that will put my confusion to rest:
Firstly, Muslims can not eat pork products at all.
Secondly, Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet of Allah, and they even believe in the virgin Birth of Jesus, and that he was a messenger of Allah. They just do not believe Jesus WAS God/(Allah), and miracles Jesus performed were done by Allah through Jesus, not by Jesus.
If those two things are correct, I must ask why Muslims still can not eat pork when Jesus expressly gave permission for people to eat what was previously considered unclean in the Jewish Torah. (Because I'm under the impression these are the same animals.)
I am not trying to disprove Religion or the Islamic Faith in any way, I am merely asking out of genuinely curiosity, as the two don't add up in my mind.
