Youwill agree that a chemical analysis of blood shows that it contains nabundance of uric acid, a chemical substance which can be injurioustohuman health.>Bob: You're right about the toxic nature of uric acid, in theumanbeing. It is excreted as a waste product and in fact we are toldthat 98% of the body's uric acid is extracted from the blood by thekidneys and removed through urination.Yunus: Now I think that you'll appreciate the specially prescribedmethod of animal slaughter in Islam.Bob: What do you mean?Yunus: You see, the wielder of the knife, whilst taking the name ofthe Almighty, makes an incision through the jugular veins, leavingall other veins and organs intact.Bob: I see, this causes the death of the animal by a total loss ofblood from the body, rather than an injury to any vital organ. "Yunus: Yes, if the organs, example the heart, the liver, or the braincrippled or damaged, the animal could die immediately and its bloodwould congeal in its veins and would eventually permeate the flesh.This implies that the animal flesh would be permeated andcontaminated with uric acid and therefore very poisonous; only todaydid our dietitians realize such a thing.Bob: Again, while on the topic of food; Why do Muslims condemn theeating of pork or ham or any foods related to pigs or swine.Yunus: Muslim reasons that if the pig was to be slaughtered and fitfor human consumption the Creator would have provided it with a neck."Nonetheless, all that aside, I am sure you are well informed aboutthe harmful effects of the consumption of pork, in any form, be itpork chops, ham, bacon.Bob: The medical science finds that there is a risk for variousdiseases as the pig is found to be a host for many parasites andpotential diseases.Yunus: Yes, even apart from that, as we talked about uric acid contentin the blood, it is important to note that the pig's biochemistryexcretes only 2% of its total uric acid content, the remaining 98%remains as an integral part of the body.Note: Islam forbids not only pork but meat of all those animals whoeat their own or some one else's body waste; the most commonly knownanimal in this category is pig or swine whose meat is commonly knownas pork.</blockquote>
