Hah! Weird that Hinduism shares a common trait with Islam on this. The difference being that Islam forbids people from eating pork, because pigs are unclean or something.
Being a Hindu, I have to disagree with you on this. Pork is forbidden in Islam, because they regard pig as unclean. The Muslims hate pig. On the other hand, the Hindus revere cow as a holy animal. That is why the refrain from killing it. Both these aspects are diagonally opposite to each other.
