A new fatwa published in Egypt determines that the source of all the existing pigs in the world is Jews, who were cursed by Allah. The new edict was issued by Sheikh Ali Osman from the Egyptian Waqf ministry.
Due to their Jewish roots, Sheikh Osman says, it is permissible to slaughter all the pigs. The religious scholar was quoted as saying by a Jordanian newspaper that he personally believes the source of the pigs is Jews and thus the consumption of pork meat is banned in Islam.
He added that a person who consumes swine flesh is considered as one who consumed another "impure person." Sheikh Osman said his fatwa is being supported by the heads of al Azhar, but they fear to publicly confirm it. He said he still wait for response from al azhar fatwa committee to get an official approval for his new edict.
So... how does the idiot explain that Jews are banned from eating pork, before there was even a Mohammad?
To Quote Red Foreman; “Dumbass!”
I beg to differ with the gentleman. The source of all pigs is Southern Baptists. We eat them all the time. Let’s get your satans in a row.
I doubt it. But if so...let all the people say “God bless the Jews!”
There are fatwa committees...? They live in a society that requires a fatwa committee to function...
Good thing Hugo Chavez is an anti-semite. Otherwise the fatwah to slaughter swine excludes El Presidente Puerco de Venezuela!
Probably the same way he explains the contention of his cult's leaders that Jesus was a Muslim seven centuries before the birth of Mohammed -- not very persuasively.
Dunno what the “official Egyptian government position” is on this matter. But it looks like an attempt to take the heat off of them for the recent panicked pigicide. Oh well, I suppose Americans don’t care so long as Egypt refrains from attacking the country of Israel.
oh good grief. Gimme a break!
This thread makes me hungry for some crispy bacon
If pigs are Jews, for a Jew to eat the flesh of swine would be cannibalism.

Actually, that one's easy. Islam means submission to God. All who submitted down thru history have been Muslims, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and the other prophets.
Mo did not invent the religion, he merely proclaimed it as the other prophets did, and purified it.
Call me the great satan, but don’t call me late for dinner. I do love pig meat in all its lovely versions.
One thing I like to do when I cook mid east type foods is make the meat pork. Ha ha they don’t know what they are missing. Pork tagine baby.
of course! why didn’t I think of that?
In much the same way that Obama is "purifying" our constitution.
Stupidity at its finest.
And Obama’s going to be addressing the “muslim world” from Egypt when?

Now here’s a fatwa I can get into. Send the ribs to me once you’re done, Abdul.
