The expansion of Islam

It's prohibited in the Quran and the Torah as well as the Old Testament. As a ban it made sense two thousand years ago: pork can spoil and be quite hazardous if it isn't properly cooked and in hot countries it was a bit risky back then.

Many of the old rules made much sense back in the history of their time.
A bit like," dont marry her if she is 39 and has a history of doing half the village".....Ancient Druid commandment. Old rules are often dispensed with in modern times. Some of them, anyway.

Is not eating pork anything to do with religion? Is it mentioned in any holy text?

I'm just asking.

Should air staff be expected to know this anyway? Why don't they provide a translator and other services for us at their expense?

in Saudi Arabia, do schools organise visits to Christian Churches, for educational purposes ? it might be a good idea, to spread the word and all of that ? Pope Leo has been talking about building bridges, peace and other stuff that is at variance with Donald Trump.

Do any of those all Muslim schools do that?

i cannot know. But certainly this Mosque flung its door open to this Christian girl, and her friends. There is an interesting sentence in the article......something about "meet people you live near, but never talk to". Any ideas what that really means ?
