> “The Hebrew Bible equally bans eating the pig, the camel, the hare, and other animals,” he says. Fish without scales, rock badgers, and certain birds were also off-limits.
> Muslims took a middle ground, rejecting most Jewish dietary restrictions but accepting the prohibition on pork. The Koran says the pig is unclean and therefore forbidden, along with blood, dead animals, and animals not dedicated to Allah.
The discrepancies can be traced back to the house of Abraham, where both Jews and Muslim claimed the lineage of their religious authority and laws.
According to Muslim traditions eating pork prohibition is existed since the very early beginning of human and perhaps can be traced back to prophet Noah time.
The thing with the Jews is that regarding the many dietary constraints because they have three approaches for prohibitions:
1) Original prohibitions from their one God (similar to Muslim since they're both from the house of Abraham) and eating pork prohibition is part of the original commandmends
2) Extra or additional dietary constraints from their one God as form of punishments for their corrupt and evil deeds
3) Self imposed dietary constraints not ordained by their one God but by their very own pundits
These 3 dietary things become accumulated, mixed and covoluted by the scribes of Jewish religious books as if they were all comes from their one God commandments
When Islam come it reverted back to the original dietary constraints of the house of Abraham. Please note that he is not a Jew but a prophet sent to the Semite people, and the father of Ishak and Ismail, whereby both are also prophets, and the progenitors of Jewish and Islamic faith, respectively.
- leftofright 2y agoJust to be clear, your entire comment is the Muslim view on why Jews have these laws. Jews don’t consider themselves evil. Also the Torah has no view on Muslims because Islam didn’t exist yet when the Torah was written.
- teleforce 2y ago>Jews don’t consider themselves evil For the record I'm not saying that Jews are evil, but if they happened to do any wrongdoings or evil deeds, for example worshipping other fake god in the form of false deity/human/cow/idols/etc beside their one true God they'll be punished accordingly whether in this world or hereafter, or both. This fact is mentioned in Jewish own holy books including Torah and the Bible namely Old and New Testaments (Jesus is a Jew speaking Aramaic - an Arabic like language spoken around Jerusalem during Roman time). This universal God's rule is also applies to Muslim and everyone else as far as Muslim are concerned.
