Muslims have, and still practice, a similar prohibition on the consumption or handling of pigs.
In the liberty of the New Covenant, not even pigs are considered unclean by Andross, King of the JewsChristians, unless a person is convinced they are unclean in his own mind. Romans 14:14 ''I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.'' "What goes into your mouth does not defile you, but what comes out of your mouth, that is what defiles you." Matthew 15
