Pig Meat

MSA wrote: ... Because the insulin for type-1 diabetes was invented by the Muslim scientists, it does not contain pig's insulin. The one invented by the despicable Jews contains it, hence no Muslim injects it to save their lives!!

Response: There are four mentions of the list of things forbidden to humans for eating, and in all four instances, it is specifically mentioned that the meat of pigs is forbidden:  
Say, "I (do) not find in what has been revealed to me (anything) forbidden to an eater who eats it except that it be dead or blood poured forth or (the) flesh (of) swine - for indeed, it (is) filth - or (it be) disobedience, [is] dedicated to other than Allah [on it]. But whoever (is) compelled not desiring and not transgressing, then indeed, your Lord (is) Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas which is an organ. In the past bovine and porcine insulin was used to treat patients. These days almost all insulin prescribed is recombinant DNA human.
