Allah has made everything and asked us to use everything for good and do not transgress. Eating of pig is haram, just like eating donkey or dog or cat, it doesn't mean anything else. Even one can eat pig if he is abt to die of hunger, its even ok if someone eats it by mistake. All the overseas Pakistanis would know we all have mistakenly eaten it.
I dont see Pakistanis calling this wrong, infact apart from one iranian idiot, all the Pakistanis are happy and celebrating it. Maybe this broke heart of many rats that wanted to make this as an excuse and make fun of Islam and general Pakistanis.
The story of abdus salam is different, i am amazed to see no one knows the truth and just jumping, even though everyone here claims to be a scholar.
Abdus salam has always been appreciated and celebrated, but the issue came when he indulged in religion. He demanded that Pak govt should take back decision of qadyani being declared as non Muslim and untill that is not done he will not come to Pakistan. This request of his was denied. He was a physicist and should not have indulged in religious politics, when he indulged, he was ridiculed.
