MIsinterpretations of the Quran

I had studied these interpretations and they make more sense than the established interprestations. We should return to the quran, and interpret the meanings literally because Allah commands us. Anyone disobeying this command will go astray.

I may agree with the interpretations of the quran as explained in this website but it does not mean that I will change my practise. 

"To justify this alteration of God’s words, these interpreters claim that the Quran is not easy to understand, and that only they are able to decipher its mysteries!
Needless to say, this claim is totally in violation of God’s description of the Quran as a clear and easy to understand book:
"A.L.R. These are the signs of the clear book" 12:1
"We have made it (the Quran) easy to understand and in your own tongue (language) may you take heed." 44:58
With the above in mind, we inquire: what did God prohibit regarding the pig? Are we prohibited from eating any part of the pig? or just the meat of the pig?"

It makes sense that only edible parts are haram, but this website only indicate bones as no haram, so hair and skin are also haram. However, to be on the safe side, I shall not use any part of the pig but I cannot clain that dried bones are also haram after hundreds of years as fossils. Common sense dictates that the bone should be  harmless especially with special care.
