Pig is offensive to Islam? How come?

Why would just a word, or phrase be offensive? I can understand if a pig is considered unclean, and one is forbidden to eat it, but hearing a spoken word of it is offensive? How come? Where is the tolerance and openness to foreign ideas? Or even catchy words? Nobody is intending to shaft a pieces of pork down their throats, and if so, what will happen? Go to hell? Why is the word pig, or pork so offensive to Islam in this modern age? How is the pig "dirty" while goats, cows, and chickens aren't? Anybody able to throw me some light on this?

Cheers!

'Flying Pig' Offensive To Muslims? Complaint Over Alibaba's Rebranded Service Sparks Backlash In China
BY JASON LE MIERE @JASONLEMIERE ON 11/01/16 AT 1:02 PM

A Chinese Muslim has faced strong condemnation in China after criticizing the world’s biggest e-commerce firm Alibaba for renaming its travel-booking service “Flying Pig Travel.”
Snacks entrepreneur Adil Mamattura posted a message to his 216,000 followers on Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo last week claiming that Alibaba’s choice of Chinese name to replace “Alitrip” was offensive to Muslims. Mamattura, a member of the predominantly-Muslim Uighur ethnic group, said he had been a devoted user of Alibaba’s services.
“But now that Alitrip has changed its name to Flying Pig, I can only remove the app, and maybe all my Muslim friends too, because the word "pig" is taboo to Muslims all over the world,” he wrote. “Alibaba is an international corporation, could it take Muslim taboos into consideration?"
The comment sparked an immediate backlash that hinted at tension between China’s Muslims, which make up an estimated 1.6 percent of the population, and its Han ethnic majority.

"We each have our own way of life; we do not force you to live according to our rules, but you cannot force us to change the law,” one Weibo user, Fireflyinred, wrote in response, reports the BBC.
Uighurs are mainly concentrated in the far western autonomous region of Xinjiang, which has been the scene for violent unrest over China’s rule in recent years. In 2014, China’s Communist Party banned Muslim government employees, students and teachers from fasting for Ramadan. And last year Muslim-owned shops and restaurants were ordered to sell alcohol and cigarettes, items forbidden by the faith.
The subject of pigs is also a delicate matter. While Muslims abstain from pork, China is a huge consumer of the meat and the pig is also one of the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac.
In response to Mamattura’s criticism, Alibaba said that the new name for the app, which is called Fliggy in English, was simply designed to appeal to its younger user base, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“We embrace diversity and respect all creeds and religions,” an Alibaba spokesman said. “The name change is meant to reflect the demographic’s aspirations to pursue dreams, sit back and enjoy life.”
Following the backlash, Mamattura deleted his post and issued an apology on Weibo.
“I get along very well with my Han friends and colleagues,” he wrote. “I will work to improve myself, to use my practical actions to convey better things and positive energy.”

Book of Mark 5:1-20 highlights that demons are driven into pigs. There is also a similar passage in the koran about this as well. They are spiritually unclean. Not physically.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%205:1-20
11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

In times of famine, they are allowed pork. As for 4 wives, it depends on their denominations, some can have a 100 if they can afford.

THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM OF ISLAM is the belief that God talked to Muhammad and dictated the contents of the Koran to him. Muslims are indoctrinated into believing the Koran is God’s word, and so they act on the numerous incitements to violence that they find in it.

What they find in the Koran came from the mind of Muhammad, and for insight into the mental condition of this “prophet,” consider Chapter 33 of his Koran, entitled “The Confederates.” This is one of the chapters Muhammad composed in Yathrib (later called Medina) where he fled after his Meccan compatriots realized they needed to kill him to preserve their way of life.

The chapter is like a wild theme park ride that races in and out of numerous topics. In the 73 verses that make up the chapter, Muhammad covers the following in the God-voice he used for the Koran: He recaps a recent battle with the Meccans and excoriates people who were afraid to fight and die for him; he gloats about his extermination of the men and boys of one of the Jewish tribes of Yathrib, the confiscation of their property, and the enslavement of their women and children; he authorizes himself to take as many wives as he likes, permits himself to marry the wife of his adopted son, forbids himself from taking any more wives after he has taken as many as he likes, but allows himself sex slaves.

As the verses of this “revelation” continue, Muhammad imposes full body and face cover for women when outside the home, threatens people with humiliating punishment in the afterlife for annoying him, threatens to murder his critics, prohibits the practice of adoption, and dishes up images of sadistic torture in Hell awaiting people who don’t believe in him. He also praises himself as a “lamp spreading light,” and holds his behavior as a “beautiful pattern” for people to follow if they want to score well with Allah.

Among the verses is a celestial advisory that he must be obeyed:

“It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path.” (Koran 33:36) [All of the Koran quotes in this article are taken from the Yusuf Ali translation.]

The psycho even called for the killing of dogs.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mughaffal:
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one.
https://muflihun.com/abudawood/16/2839



Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 67 :: Hadith 391
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "If someone keeps a dog neither for guarding livestock, nor for hunting, his good deeds will decrease (in reward) by two Qirats a day.'
http://quranexplorer.com/hadith/English/Hadith/bukhari/007.067.391.html


According to the psycho Mo menstruating Women and dogs are unclean and destroy prayers
Dawud :: Book 2 : Hadith 703
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:
Qatadah said: I heard Jabir ibn Zayd who reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas; and Shu'bah reported the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: A menstruating woman and a dog cut off the prayer.

Whether Allah spoke to Muhammed or not, that is debatable. But present day Muslims should consider that what Allah said to Muhammed is applicable only during those times and situations. Things have changed. Technology, demographics have all changed, and peoples must move with social changes due to these changes. Fine, pork from piggies can be unhygienic because the hog is omnivorous and eats anything (like decaying meat) and hence it is not safe to consume, but today, there is inspection of these (farmed) animals before slaugher that are conducted under clean and hygienic conditions and are refrigerated and passed on to the consumer within the expiration period. It is no long "unsafe" like in ancient times. Fashion too has changed, in keeping with social trends and tastes. So men do not have the right (or excuse) to say that the woman was scantily dressed and tempted his lust, and so the woman is to be blamed in a rape case!

I am not against the faith in religion (any religion) but people just need the common sense and move on with the times! Rather than look back to antiquity to justify their actions these days. To the muslims who take every word in the Koran as their almanac to living, I say, get and education, and move on.

Cheers!

Legal? It is a perversion! Bloody kid not even gone through PSLE already must become wife!!! How is this person going to survive in society without an education? Bloody idiots alone not enough! They keep others in their society uneducated and illiterate - that's how "smart" they are. This kind of behaviour make me fume. How can any society be so goondu? What makes it worse isn't just the practice, but the others in that society who keep silent about it. No fucking conscience!

Cheers!

How about child bride ?
Is it legal ? :rolleyes:
Doesn't that makes one a paedophile ? :oIo:

In AD 66 there was this Jewish revolution where Simon Decobar did fought with the Romans and won and occupied Judea.

But it lasted only 3 years and the Romans reoppcupied the land again. The Romans installed a giant PIG statue inside the jewish Holy temple to show middle finger to the Jews.

From then onwards the Jews stopped eating pork.

This part of Jewish story was lost and stupid Arabs Mohd followed blindly. This no education people are like that, stupid.
