The answer

Paul the Jew was the first to introduce the permissibility of alcohol and pork into Christianity, and this is not in the original Gospel. The prohibition of alcohol and pork is firmly established in the Holy Quran, where Allah Almighty said: "Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, and the flesh of swine" and "O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone altars [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful." It was also narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that Jesus, peace be upon him, "will break the cross and kill the swine."
