For Muslims, the eating, touching and utilizing of products derived from pigs is strictly prohibited. As in it’s a huge sin. Don’t ask why. I’ve been wondering my whole life, too. A few explanation are that pigs were thought of ‘unclean’ (and we all know the Islamic obsession with cleanliness) because they were observed to roll in mud and consume their own excretion while being reared in pens. Another is that back in the day I’m assuming before ham was cured pork could potentially carry diseases, and pigs could spread hand, foot and mouth disease. It was thought that the prophet banned it outright to play it safe. The other is that pigs are very much like humans in their skin, DNA and organs. So it would be a bit like caanibalism. Technically if she picked it up with gloves it’s still a sin. Oh well.

Female circumcision is not mandatory for females in Islam (as in the Quran or Hadith). Clitoridectomy or Infibulation is not so much a religious requirment as it is a cultural practice. Female genital mutilation predated Islam. It originated in Africa and remains today a mainly African cultural practice. Some points to note : It is widely practiced in countries where the predominant religion is Christianity: Examples are Ethiopia and Kenya. In multi-faith countries, it is often forced on girls whose families follow all faiths: Animism religions, Christianity, and Islam. For example, it is frequently practiced among both Muslims, Christians and Animists in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sierra Leone, and Sudan. 3 FGM was once practiced by Ethiopian Jews (a.k.a. Beta Israel; formerly known by the derogatory term ‘Falashas’). 9, 16, 17,19 This practice was apparently discontinued some time ago. A pediatrician who works in the Beta Israel community claims that they no do not practice FGM in Israel. Also, their daughters who were born in Ethiopia were not mutilated. FGM has spread to countries in or near Africa (e.g. Egypt) which are Muslim. But FGM is rare or nonexistent in many other Muslim countries. Examples are Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. Also, It is not done in the Maghreb countries of Northwest Africa. FGM is only occasionally found in Indonesia and other predominantly Muslim countries in Asia. It is true that sunna (circumcision) is compulsory for males, for females who desire to ‘purify’ themselves (I know twisted) sunna is performed thus : a needle is used to prick the clitoris and a bit of blood must pass. That’s it.
