Today is the start of the 15-day Chinese New Year celebration, the year of the pig. The Atheologist is still wondering why China’s state-owned television network, CCTV, has banned images and references to the pig in all advertising. If the officials at CCTV had asked the Muslim community for their input they may not have instituted the ban. While the Koran clearly allows a husband to beat his wife and unmistakably forbids any eating of pork products, after extensive searches, the Atheologist can find nothing in the Koran or even The 9-11 Commission Report, which prohibits images of, or using the word, pig, by Muslims.
As a side note, pigs in China do not eat Muslims and regard them as unclean animals.
