The Holy Quran specifically prohibits the eating of the flesh of swine and the blood in general of all the permissible animals besides the eating of any permissible animal that has died by itself.
The Bible is very specific in declaring swine “haraam.” It not only prohibits eating the flesh (pork, ham, bacon, etc) but also prohibits even touching its carcase.
The Christians justify their eating pork from the verses in the Acts of Paul where Peter declares he had a vision long after Jesus had departed Palestine : “On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour.And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth.Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.And there came a voice to him, Rise Peter, kill and eatBut Peter said, not so Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. Acts 10:9 ---16See also Acts 11:5 --- 10.

There is a verse of Cäëakya Paëòita, “na hi harate jyotsnaà candraç caëòäla-veçmani. Caëòäla.”Caëòäla means the low caste, lower than the çüdras, especially the pig-eater, and caëòäla-veçmani, the place where pig is eaten is a very polluted, sinful place.
The first class of humans in Vedic society are the “brähmaëas”; second class the ”kñatriyas”; third class the “vaiçyas,” fourth class the “sudras” and the fifth class “caëòäla, païcama”, the class that eat pigs and dogs. But the pig-eaters are in a class of their own called “çvapacas”, they are the lowest and are the untouchable ! Bg. 18.44.
