I once heard (not sure if it's true) that the Islamic rule for not eating pork was mostly a practical one, because at the time the rule was formulated it was easier to get sick from eating pork relative to other meats.

This is the justification for pork bans in the Jewish Kashrut as well. Also why a lot of people are pretty lax on the pork-eating part nowadays
