All the blood in the animal body gushes out of the neck. This blood is very high in uric acid which is very bad for health.&nbsp; Therefore, there is even a taste difference between halal and normal meat. Pigs however, do not have any neck. Therefore, you cannot kill them the way we kill cows or chicken. The only way to kill pigs is ti drive a knife through their heart.&nbsp; Therefore, the uric acid stays in the meat, making it not so good for out health. And given how they live in really filthy conditions, really, you don't want to eat their uric acid filled meat. Hope this answers your question.</p>http://www.charlottesvillemasjid.orgForum/Thread.aspx?th=5<p>Asalamo Aliekum,</p> <p>I believe the answer to similar quetions with regards to why we &quot;do or do not do&quot; when comes to the comands of Islam is that this is &quot;Part of our religion&quot;.&nbsp; The main reason/prupose of any command is to tes us are we believers and followers of the relgion or not.&nbsp; As a side-point, but not essential for the believe nor for us to follow Allah's command is if we can discover the wisdom of that command, that will be helpful .&nbsp; Some of the suggested benefits from not eating pork, is that &quot;scientifically&quot; that pork meat has more tendency for food-borne disease than beef for example.&nbsp;</p>http://www.charlottesvillemasjid.orgForum/Thread.aspx?th=5<p>I don't know how to place a topic, but i will ask for something maybe different. my question is, Why muslems do not eat pork?
