Why do turkish people not eat pork

Stay up-to-date Dr John Strak Nov 8. Vladislav Vorotnikov Nov 8. Treena Hein Nov Home News May 12, Turkey's pork industry on the brink of extinction. Turkey's pork industry is struggling to survive due to continuous and increased pressure from the islamic government, led by the AK Party. Related tags: pork Turkey.

Other animals considered haram are pigs, turtles and elephants. The eating of carrion animals which died rather than being slaughtered is forbidden as well. With the exception of fish, all animals living in the water such as mussels, lobster, shrimp, oysters, snails, crab, seahorses etc.

However with the exception of some seaside regions, fish is not extremely popular. We can again attribute this to nomadic culture. Although camels are not haram, Turks do not consider it acceptable to eat. However the Arabs enjoy camel meat, and the Tatars eat horsemeat.

In some regions, certain birds are very popular. No doubt you will get one. I don't understand most religion. Who really cares why they don't eat pork. Does it affect you? Isn't Santorini where the lost city of Atlantis was? Why don't Jews eat port then Tris? If you are so knowledgeable on the subject and wish to enlighten us, perhaps you can give me the answer to that. Tris said:. That is simple. Jews are the forefathers of Christians and Islam is an off shoot religion taken from both.

The extract from leviticas was clearly taken from Hebrew scripts and the bottom line of those scripts was, in my opinion, driven by public health and the fact that pork deteriorates rapidly in hot climates. The human body is not disimilar in this respect and this is also why, imo, muslim burials are executed with such speed. Are you saying that swine decomposes quicker than all the other animals?
