Swine flu

I thank God (Allah) for prohibiting eating pork meat or any pig's body parts because it courses diseases that is easy to transmit to human.

I know the Swine flu can not transmit to human by eating the meat, but look at this way, if God did not prohibit Muslims to eat pork meat, by now the Islamic countries would have raised pigs and Swine flu would have spread fast like in America and Europe continents. As the result, two third or 75% of the world population would have wiped out.

That's why Islam, Judaism and other non-Abrahamic religions had prohibited pork. That's God's wisdom and test for his creatures.
