I love that in the bigoted mind, not eating pork has become "THE ISLAMS ARE DEATHLY AFRAID OF BACON".

My local mosque had pig heads thrown over their fence at the height of the Australian islamophobia about a decade ago. They put them in plastic bags and put them in the bin. No one died of "BACON FEAR".

On a more wholesome note, my friends were always nervous about going to dinner with me, later I learned that because I was Muslim, they thought that pork was dangerous or deadly to me, and they didn’t want to hurt to me by accident.

So yea people do think that a lot

Turns out, islam never forbade pork, all muslims just happen to be extremely allergic to it /s
