To understand the Middle East issue, it is necessary to explore the history of Islam, the living habits of Muslims, and the influence of geopolitics behind it.

On the internet, someone has raised a question: why don't Muslims eat pork?


There are various answers from netizens to this question, some of which are even untenable.



Some people have proposed totem theory to explain, but this explanation is obviously absurd.


In fact, the reason why Muslims do not eat pork is because Islam and Muslims consider pigs to be one of the most unclean animals, and therefore prohibit the consumption of pork.


Many people may not have received a satisfactory answer to this question.

Especially in the era of relatively closed and underdeveloped information in the past, this issue is even more confusing.


In fact, the Quran does have explicit provisions, but the interpretation of these provisions may not be very clear.


Simply put, pigs are not clean animals and are prone to various diseases, so not eating pork is to ensure health.



Not eating pork is not just a Muslim habit, but a long-standing cultural phenomenon.


Both ancient Egyptian civilization and Judaism held similar beliefs about pigs, believing that they were unclean animals.


From a biological perspective, pigs are one of the important sources of animal protein for humans.

However, Muslims do not eat pork not only for biological reasons, but also for religious and cultural reasons.


The Quran prohibits Muslims from consuming pork, and Muslim jurists have made corresponding provisions based on this.


The real environment has also had an impact on this regulation.


In the Middle East, although it is one of the domestication areas for pigs, with climate change and increasing population density, pig farming has become increasingly uneconomical and even harmful.


Therefore, in traditional agricultural areas suitable for pig farming, Islam is difficult to take root.

Overall, it is a rule in the Quran that Muslims do not eat pork, and the reasons behind it involve multiple aspects such as religion, culture, and biology.
