A nepalese acquaintance related the story that a muslim couple they know would glue pages in a children's picture book about the farm together whenever there are pigs on it. I simply don't understand how any functioning, educated person can have such a dysfunctional relationship with reality.

People know that pork exists.
Just wait for it, at some point ISIS will decide to go Krikkit on the world's pig population.
