what would happen if a muslim ate pork pork?!
Answers:
They choose not to eat pork for one simple reason: It's a HEALTH LAW in THEIR BIBLE, not the Christian Bible. Muslims don't eat pork because pigs eat human flesh. Fresh or rotten, pigs will eat most anything. This violates the health laws of old when disease typically resulted from unclean animals, referred to in other comments here as 'hooved' animals. They are actually referred to as 'cloven hooved' animals. That also includes a number of other animals according to their feet/hooves. As for Muslims that don't eat unclean animals, they also consider all non-Muslims to be unclean infidels and believe that all of us should be killed. I wouldn't worry about offending a Muslim by accidentally serving the person pork, I'd be more worried about the fact that he wants to kill you because of his religious standards if YOU eat pork, thereby making you an unclean infidel.
I read the whole book.
Pork is a forbidden meat for Muslims, Jews and Coptic Christians because pigs often had tape worms. It was observed that people who ate pig meat often became ill, so the rabbis, priests, imams said that God forbade it.
A Muslim, living in Europe once said to me that if he were invited to eat by non-Muslims and was presented with pork, rather than embarrassing his hosts, he would eat it and square it up with God later. That sounds reasonable to me.
A 13 year old Iraqi Muslim school child, in England also said to me , 'But if I will be die I can eat pork.' I took this to mean that it was better to eat pork than die of starvation.
I am still ashamed of the time when I had prepared a four course buffet meal for about 30 people, I said to a Muslim friend, 'You can eat the liver paté. It's chicken.' It wasn't until after she had eaten some and said, 'That's very good,' that I remembered I had added bacon to it. I didn't tell her. She was innocent, but I still feel ashamed. Who'll go to hell? Probably me!
There are non-Muslims who have grown up in a predominantly Muslim country who don't eat pork because they are not used to the taste.
Simply: If bad deeds exceed good deeds on the scale, hell is the destination.
Eating pork is disobedience to God... therefore is a bad deed.
Nevertheless, life should be preserved as best you can so in times of starvation if pork is the ONLY thing available, it is permissible to consume.
It is important to remember that fate lies in the hands of God so we cannot judge. If the person does 'not care' about haram, it suggests lack of knowledge about their own faith. Noone can say: 'Its fine to eat pork, nothing will happen to you.' Neither can we say: 'Ohhh you're going to hell because you eat pork'. It is God's place and His place only to judge and decide. He can punish and He can forgive.
But why would anyone want to damage their chances of gaining heaven?
There's plenty of meat out there - giving up pork is not missing out on much.
If your starving to death and you eat, Then there is no punishment upon you. If you eat it just because you want then you are in danger of the Hellfire. The Quran, which is the direct of Allah(swt) commands us not to.
End of discussion. If a person it's pork intentionally, I am assuming Allahu Aleum, that they should make Wudu and make Tawbah. I don't think it's Kuffar but then again....if you imitate a group of people then you are of those people. Also, lots of people and not just Muslims or Jews, avoid pork. Pigs are filthy animals and will eat anything and everything. They carry boat loads of germs, parasites and bacteria that simply can't be cooked out.
NO - ! !
I think most of your answers - point out that the dietary religious laws are man made - and strictly based on ancient history of health problems and sanitation
Of course each religion had its roots in the middle east and god just forgot to remind the rest of the Earth who enjoy so many of these unclean foods
nothing will happen - any offense to god - will be the individuals psychic aberrations
They would burst into flames instantaneously and go directly to hell, no pass go, no question.
A hot dog is like poison to a Muslim.
They feel like a pig is worthless swine, and eating it is beyond them, even if it's for survival, so I have no problem, I respect that, don't understand it, but hey, I thank God for my days
I think the Bible states that the hoofed animals are unclean?
I say if God gave us these things to eat, we only need to make sure they breed and reproduce.
There were swine on Noah's boat right, so, why?
It was for a reason.
I'm only half way into the Bible, so maybe it says later why (please don't give the ending away)?
I respect all beliefs, but if someone infringes on my beliefs and life I have a problem to deal with.
Thou shalt not murder, it doesn't say kill, so in defense of ones self, it is alright to kill.
I'm finding this book interesting.
Wish I knew Hebrew, that comes next.
(hope I don't get reported for this answer).
If the person does not believe in the Koran or Mohamed, then probably would no longer consider themselves Muslim, so nothing would happen to them. Muslim is a religion not a heritage or nationality.
Pork Pork - huh?
She would beat up the waitress and try to get her fired.
(This actually happened a few years ago in Manila).
Nothing would happen. Religion is just a scare tactic developed to control people.
They suffer the divine wrath.
Absolutely nothing if no one else knew and "told".
Nothing ! I know plenty of muslims that eat pork !
Of course not silly.
