swine
Like the Jews, Moslems consider swine to be "unclean", therefore unfit for consumption. This attitude makes sense from a health standpoint in times and places where sanitary cooking practices aren't observed.
I really don't think consorting with swine will keep anyone from any religion from going to heaven, especially if forced into it, or tricked.
Willfully consuming pork might be a sin in either religion, but using pig blood, etc will hardly be a deterrent to a fanatic who is ready to go meet God face to face.
Just occured to me, cannibals call human meat "long pig". I wonder if the prohibition against swine was merely a tool to stop people from eating each other? If you like the taste of one meat, you'll probly crave the other too.
enough pigs, I'll get naseous going on in that line
