AFAIK these religions(so Islam and Judaism in this case) don’t usually care about what non-believers eat, only believers are not allowed to eat pigs. So posting that does not even qualify as ragebait.
yeah but here’s the thing: the right doesn’t merely take joy in other people’s anger and suffering, it takes joy in the idea of it. That’s why Right wing “Comedy” is just “x minority are stupid and bad” and why their audiences lap them up. They’re not laughing at the worlds, they’re laughing at the idea of people they hate being upset or suffering.
They think that upsets people, and that’s where they derive humour from.
Yeah, it is a prohibition on willingly eating pork. But to Islamaphobes this gets twisted into some belief that any presence, contact, or image of pork products hurts and condemns Muslims (I have heard this referred to as “Christian Ham Magic”, which I think is a good term for it). Like how soldiers were claiming they dip their bullets in bacon grease so that if they kill a Muslim with them, they would, by “Muslim” belief, go to hell.
yeah, and most of those rules came about because pork was likely to contain parasites and was overall more dangerous. people interpreted getting sick because of unsafe food as being punished by god
i’ve heard this before and it makes no sense, are we just assuming ancient muslims would eat pork sashimi? You’re not gonna get parasites if you cook stuff thoroughly
