    Iran: Quiet piggy.

    Although serious question, is it cool for a Muslim to say this? I know that pork is a no-no in their religion. Would appreciate an honest answer.

      Pigs aren’t sacred animals. You’re allowed to mention them. You aren’t supposed to eat them, but that rule is less strict than for example, you shouldn’t throw away good food because you fancy something else. The reason we hear so much about pork being forbidden in the west is because among cultural muslims, not eating pork is a very easy rule to follow while being somewhat visible.
