Allah Says in Quraan
“[53] Soon will We show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?
[54] Ah indeed! are they in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord? Ah indeed! it is He that doth encompass all things!”

Dear Tyler,

I will try to answer your easy question. Why Muslims do not eat pork!!?

First of all I would like to state another punch of why Muslims do not dos…
• Muslims do not eat pork.
• Muslims do not drink any kinds of alcohol or take any drugs.
• Muslims do not commit adultery.
• Muslims are not homosexuals (for both women and men).
• Muslims do not get married to their mums or dads or brothers or sisters like some free people do.

Islam was starting more than 1400 years ago, in this time there were no advanced science to prove any of these prohibitions.
As you might know, Muslims has 2 sources of their religion 1- the holy Quraan and 2- the prophet Mohamed’s life, his says, advices and actions.

If you try to spend just one hour you will discover how Arabs had lived before Islam, they have everything you asking about now, they have wine, women, commit adultery, and more than you can imagine.

They were live like Viking in Europe, just people who enjoy their life till the end of the enjoyment.
Islam came to bring people back to their peaceful and kindness nature, to remind them by their creator and their objective on this universe.

Allah (God), when sent Prophet Mohamed to whole people with a miracle of Quraan, people was asking how is Quraan will be a miracle compared to other miracles like the ones sent with other prophets.

How the Quraan will be the proof!!!?

The answer came from Quraan first, and then from people and not any people, it was people like you, advanced people, people who have very advanced laboratories and technologies and science.
A lot of scientific foundations and concept was revealed in Quraan more than 1400 years ago and then discovered only nowadays.

I believe when you trust someone, and told not to go this way as it is not suitable to your car and give you another way, I think you will take his advice and will never try to prove he is wrong.

Islam did not stop your mind or wants you to stop your mind, however as a believer you should follow what you have been told as you believe from the first it is for your benefits here and hereafter.

And it is in its nature is Allah’s test for human being to judge you in the judgment day, have you followed what he ordered you or disobeyed and followed your desires and not your mind

Allah Says “[43] Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be a disposer of affairs for him?”

Finally, as you see you are free completely to choose your life. No one can force you to accept or refuse any ideas. You are free to choose because you are human being valued with a beautiful mind.

Regarding why Qatar, did not sell pork here, you can consider it as why it is forbidden in Europe or USA for a Muslim man to get more than Muslim wife!!! Could you consider it as a kind of freedom violation?

Below is a just a pick from the internet, which id fully with similar topics about the hazardous of eating pork, swine, bacon, or pigs.

From wikipedia

Pigs harbour a range of parasites and diseases that can be easily transmitted to humans. These include trichinosis, cysticercosis, and brucellosis. Very commonly, pigs are also known to host large concentrations of parasitic ascarid worms in their digestive tract. The presence of these diseases and parasites is one of the main reasons why pork meat should always be well cooked or cured before eating.
