People seem to forget that Muslims are allowed to touch pork products, they’re just not allowed to pray after touching them unless they ritualistically purify themselves by washing their hands, mouth, nose, face, forearms, head, ears and feet (the order is different as well as what parts you wash in different schools of thought).
Doing all that is a bit of a kerfuffle so a good number of Muslims just choose to avoid touching anything that could invalidate their purity, but the worst that can happen is they have to wash themselves again before they pray.
Obviously they’re not allowed to eat it, but it’s nowhere near as bad as racists would have you think where even being in the presence of pork products is enough to make Muslims melt into the floor like the wicked witch.

Some Muslims really are like that. The ones who are, are usually from the more backward countries.
But Islam also says that if you’re starving and pork is the only available food, eat the pork.
Alcohol, on the other hand, is a hard no.
Now in my view, I don’t see how any religion that forbids carnitas can possibly be divinely inspired.
Even so, I’ve never met an Islamophobe who isn’t a raving asshole, but I’ve met a number of Muslims who are good people, even if I don’t agree with some of their religious prohibitions.
Not to be that guy, but the ablution process is mandatory regardless of what you’ve touched. Unless you’ve touched some najis stuff then you gotta clean it first before doing ablution.

Are Muslims allowed to sanitize with alcohol?
