Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Islamic Law Regarding Pork Supplement QUESTION: This logic seems to me very convincing. ANSWER: Well, if you are really convinced of this reasoning, then you should see to it that all legislatures are abolished, and all courts are closed. Thus there would be no criminals, because there would be no law to transgress! QUESTION: I don't think any Christian government would be pleased with this suggestion. Let us forget it. But tell me how St.

Paul abrogated the Law? ANSWER: He claimed that, "I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean." {Rom., 14:14) QUESTION: Well, I think it settles the matter nicely. ANSWER: No. On the contrary, it creates more problems than it solves.

We Muslims cannot believe it. As for the Christians, action speaks louder than words. QUESTION: I must admit that you have got a very strong point here.

I now agree that according to the Original Christianity, pork was and will remain forbidden. But, frankly speaking, I do not find anything wrong with pork. ANSWER: I hope that you are not one of those who think that aping the Western culture is the proof of enlightenment.

The transfer of certain disease, as modern medical research has substantiated, would be adequate justification for this ancient law. QUESTION: But this "transfer of diseases" is not the unique feature of pork. Even beef and mutton contain some germs of diseases. ANSWER: Well, why limit your argument to beef and mutton? We know that even vegetables contain infectious germs. But the fact remains that pork reigns supreme in the greater content of germs among all meats that are known to human-beings.

The more we read about it the more we dread it. QUESTION: Can you name some of those germs to which you have just referred ANSWER: The following list shows germs or parasites that are found in pork.
