I remember my father telling me of a Mid-eastern Muslim student of his, who was proudly showing off a new leather jacket to an American friend. The friend felt the leather, and said admiringly, "What lovely pigskin." The Muslim student turned a shade of green, took off the jacket and handed it to his friend, muttering, "Here, you take it."

Many Muslims consider it polluting to touch anything to do with pigs.
