In the Muslim's divine book, The Holy Qur'an forbids the consumption of pork meat, but even more astounding is the fact that Christians are forbidden to eat it too: “Leviticus and the swine, as he divideth the hoof, and be clove footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
Why don't Muslims eat pork? - Talk to Islam

Pigs live in filth, eat anything including filth, and are therefore considered unclean. Any amount of time spent around live pigs leaves no doubt about this logic.
I had a Muslim friend tell me once that pigs are physically incapable of looking up toward heaven, so are considered too lowly, beneath Allah's grace.
Islam like Christianity evolved from Judaism the muslims don't like to admit but its from the jewish beliefs that their religion was founded on.
This seems to be another science subject that the biblical God got wrong. Pigs are actually the cleanest animals on the farm, contrary to popular belief. They may eat nearly anything they can put their mouths around, but so does a goat. Pigs will not relieve themselves in the same area of the yard as they eat, or sleep, They wash regularly, even though it's in mud, but still, they do bath a lot. Pigs have sensitive skin and also do not have pores to cool themselves in the summer their method of cooling is to wade in mud pools. Compare this to a cow that poo on itself and pee on it's food, will lay down to take a nap right where 10 other bovines just relieved themselves.
The only reason Muslims and Jews do not eat pork is because some priest from about 3,000 years ago observed what appears to be filthy animals rooting in the ground and laying in the mud, he/they thought it looked disgusting.
Because many religions have silly dietary laws that have no basis in reality. You will hear dozens of rationalizations, justifications and just plain excuses for this silliness, but using a bit of logic and considering the animals these religions are allowed to eat one sees that these dietary laws are just plain silly.
Muslims inherited their religion from Judaism which also bans pork. That, of course, is no worse than some of the things Christians ban. Harken to this conversation:
Priest: Tell me Rabbi, have you ever eaten pork?
They are classed as unclean. A clean animal must have split hooves AND chew the cud.
The pork tapeworm has plagued people for thousands of years. The parasite, known as cysticercosis, lives in pork tissue, and is likely the reason why Jewish and Muslim dietary laws ban pork. In the Bible King Herod died from being struck with worms.
People are less affected today due to better hygiene practices and making sure that pork is cooked properly.
because pigs are filthy animals. I know someone who use to work at a pig farm and she said she would NEVER eat pork as long as she lives...
pigs only have a 4 hour digestive track so the toxins don't get filtered out properly... All of the toxins pigs eat end up in the meat you eat.. Pigs eat garbage, they even eat cancerous growths from other pigs etc... I don't eat pork myself because its truly a disgusting meat (the smell even)..
plus, every time you eat pork, you run the risk of catching parasites.. not all parasites die even if you cook the meat properly.
Many reasons but to add to what z said something interesting is that the flesh of swine is very similar to that of human skin so similar in fact doctors and scientist use it for skin grafting and other research its also been proven to be loaded with bacterea and worms
Because it is written in the Quran. And according to the Shariat , Muslims aren't allowed to eat pork.
