It's the truth. Well, I will be inclined to believe you a bit more if you can find some historical research supporting that view. Are you sure filthy is not meant in the same context as "filthy infidel." Morally filthy Yes, I am very sure. They go to great lengths to explain just how filthy pigs are (or "were", at those times) - rolling in their own excrement, eating the said excrement, etc... Nothing about "infidels" at all. observant jews do not eat pork because it is an arbitrary edict from God, not because the meat or animal is filthy Interesting. I know quite a few very much "believer" Jews and they eat pork... Jewish religious leaders I've spoken to agree the dietary laws isolate believers from nonbelievers As an effect, perhaps. But was that the reason? I would like to see some links to historical research, if you could find some.
