The bacon sandwich myth



Pictures of bacon sandwiches are offensive to Muslims.

Er .... Someone didn't do their homework on this one


It really is time certain people educated themselves to stop all of us non-muslim, non-religious people being made to look stupid.

Most Muslims find No 1 humorous because a bacon sandwich isn't insulting, it isn't offensive. They dont eat pork through choice, because their religious book says not to.

Here's the offending passage in the Quran....

“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.”[Al-Qur’an 5:3]

Strangely enough the Bible also prohibits the consumption of pork, so all you Christians are going to burn in hell as well.

The book of Leviticus....
“And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you”.
“Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you.”
[Leviticus 11:7-8] 
The book of Deuteronomy
“And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.”
[Deuteronomy 14:8] 
The book of Isaiah
All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations— a people who continually provoke me to my very face, offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on altars of brick;  who sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil; who eat the flesh of pigs, and whose pots hold broth of unclean meat;  who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me, for I am too sacred for you!’ Such people are smoke in my nostrils, a fire that keeps burning all day
Isaiah 65:2-5
