However, the Quran supposedly forbids people to eat pork because pigs don't have a neck, and cannot be bled out effectively (an incorrect statement).
In what way is that not true?
Pigs do not swet do they? So the swet probably ends up in the meet :]

My grandfather grew up on a farm. One Christmas, I stayed there for around a week, and witnessed the slaughtering of a pig. Apparently, you can't just kill it quickly, it has to bleed out. So, my grandfather took a nice big curved knive, and slit where its neck would be, right where the jugular is. The blood was saved for black pudding, and the bloodless meat was cut from the pig, and cooked appropriately.
When halal slaughtering by the neck the blood should be "exploding" out from the neck and the whole head cut of at once.
Do pigs have worms in them?
Are there worms in other animals such as cows?
Actually shredderbeam, sorry to crash your party but Muslims do not eat pork simply because they are dirty. They roll around in the mud all day, eat a mixture of food and mud, and are quite unhealthy. To sum it up, they're unclean.
The Supreme Intelligence said:Pig's bodies contain many toxins, worms and latent diseases. Although some of these infestations are harbored in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far more predisposed to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because pigs like to scavenge and will eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta (including their own), garbage, and other pigs.
The Supreme Intelligence said:Influenza (flu) is one of the most famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is harbored in the lungs of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and humans in the cooler months. Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who eat pork sausage tend to suffer more during epidemics of influenza. Pig meat contains excessive quantities of histamine and imidazole compounds, which can lead to itching and inflammation; growth hormone, which promotes inflammation and growth; sulphur-containing mesenchymal mucus, which leads to swelling and deposits of mucus in tendons and cartilage, resulting in arthritis, rheumatism, etc.
The Supreme Intelligence said:Sulfur helps cause firm human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human cartilage.
The Supreme Intelligence said:Eating pork can also lead to gallstones and obesity, probably due to its high cholesterol and saturated fat content. The pig is the main carrier of the taenia solium worm, which is found it its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has trichinosis from eating trichina worms which are found in pork. Many people have no symptoms to warn them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are not noticed during meat inspections, nor are they killed by salting or smoking. Few people cook the meat long enough to kill the trichinae. The rat (another scavenger) also harbors this disease. There are dozens of other worms, germs, diseases and bacteria which are commonly found in pigs, many of which are specific to the pig, or found in greater frequency in pigs.
The Supreme Intelligence said:Pigs are biologically similar to humans, and their meat is said to taste similar to human flesh. Pigs have been used for dissection in biology labs due to the similarity between their organs and human organs. People with insulin-dependent diabetes usually inject themselves with pig insulin. "
Actually, the Bible doesn't state ANYWHERE that the earth is flat. It makes references to the 'ends of the earth' and the 'corners of the earth', but they were just common expressions back then (as they are now).Whats up with it ?
At that time the bibel had written that the earth was flat.
Krypton6, the ONLY Biblical reference to a flat Earth is a brief passage that refers to the four corners of the Earth, as x9 said.
Which means that it is written in the bibel that earth is flat!
Krypton6, the ONLY Biblical reference to a flat Earth is a brief passage that refers to the four corners of the Earth, as x9 said.
Not really. As x9 said, it's a common expression, and it was in those days, too.
