See the cross? See it? Why are you laughing?

Warning! Your salad could be making you into an Infidel! "Salafist group warns tomatoes are 'Christian,'” by Angie Nassar for NowLebanon.com, June 12 (thanks to Lachlan)

...A Salafist group called the Popular Egyptian Islamic Association has come under fire after sending out a warning on Facebook urging its followers not to eat tomatoes because the vegetable (or fruit) is a Christian food. The group posted a photo on its page of a tomato - which appears to reveal the shape of a cross after being cut in half – along with the message: “Eating tomatoes is forbidden because they are Christian. [The tomato] praises the cross instead of Allah and says that Allah is three (a reference to the Trinity).

[God help us]. I implore you to spread this photo because there is a sister from Palestine who saw the prophet of Allah [Mohammad] in a vision and he was crying, warning his nation against eating them [tomatoes]. If you don’t spread this [message], know that it is the devil who stopped you.”

Yeah... no.

Predictably, Facebook users expressed outrage over the post, which prompted the group to clarify its stance on the controversy with the update, “We didn’t say you can’t eat tomatoes. We said don’t cut it in [such a way that reveals] the cross shape.”...

This is one of the most powerful videos I have seen...A must watch.

If you are a Christian, you need to watch this video!
If you are not a Christian, you need to watch this video!
If you are a non-believer, you need to watch this video!

Oh well, maybe they can get into wheat... fields of wheat, acres of wheat, cream of wheat...

But...,but...wheat is a Christian symbol of converts. Remember the song "Bringing in The Sheaves"? Also, the fish is a well known symbol for Christian converts. Jesus said, "I will make you fishers of men". They better not eat fish either.

Consider yourself on report.

That post along with your FReeper ID has been turned over to the AAPOIDNM (American Association for the Prevention Of Innuendo and Denigration of Neanderthals and Monkeys.)

Prepare for serious hissy fits and hyperbole.

I bet you don't like Skittles and Arizona drinks either, eh?

A friend sent me this: A Muslim meets Christ This is one of the most powerful videos I have seen...A must watch. If you are a Christian, you need to watch this video!

Thanks for the video. Freepers and others would not have to express hatred of Muslims, but rather should love them, through God's Holy Spirit, into the true Kingdom of God. People are people, and all people need and can understand love. If we make friends with a Muslim, love them and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them, God will do the rest. Many will be saved.

Very good. I had first gotten them through my CSA, but liked them so much I got some seeds and am growing my own this year.

Firm with a great tomato taste.

I seem to remember them trying to ban women from buying cucumbers, or maybe putting cucumbers and other vegetables like tomatoes next to each other because they were too phallic looking.

I read about a harem where the Sultan forbade the residents to eat cucumbers because they were used for, ahem, other purposes. (Those women were very frustrated.)

It just reminds me of WWI German fighter planes. I think the post WWII German AF used them, too.

Most young people today could not tell a Maltese cross from a swastika from a pentagram and a star of David anyway.
