Is all of the Pig Forbidden according to 5:3 ?

[khalil]

I was looking at the book 'the Naturaul Republic' by ProgressiveMuslims.org and was reading the review and came across the usual shocked Muslim, the things he attributed to your book came across to me as logical but one stood out he stated

'They say that ... pork products made from any part of the pig except the flesh/blood can be consumed! '

So I thought that this person must have mis-read the book somehow, there musn't really be any truth to that. The other day I was talking to my brothers girlfriend over the phone and the conversation somehow veered to pork, my brother's steadily opposed to having thier future children eating pork, then I remmbered what I read and told her that the whole pig in actuality wasn't forbidden, but i am not positive and will get back to her with more information on this later on.

Today I looked at 53 and scrutinously read it, i noticed that it did not say the pig is forbidden, rather is stated the flesh was. The translation i own is Yusuf Ali's so i checked out other translations on line and sure enough Pikthal and SHakir did the same thing to.

But however, Rashid Khalifa translates it as pigs meat. I am wondering what the exact arabic word is that is used in this verse and all of its possible meanings.

I looked at your translation and it states 'the blood, and the meat of (the) pig' is forbidden, i am also wondering then if the meat would be the whole pig or not, does that mean there are parts i can eat?

I searched the internet as well for articles on pork and the same command is repeated in 2173, 53, 6145 and 16115.

Any light on the topic would largely be appreciated, thank you for your time and patience.
