Don't underestimate sexy produce and it's seductive qualities. CAIRO: An Islamic cleric residing in Europe said that women should not be close to bananas or cucumbers, in order to avoid any “sexual thoughts.”

The unnamed sheikh, who was featured in an article on el-Senousa news, was quoted saying that if women wish to eat these food items, a third party, preferably a male related to them such as their a father or husband, should cut the items into small pieces and serve.

He said that these fruits and vegetables “resemble the male penis” and hence could arouse women or “make them think of sex.”

He also added carrots and zucchini to the list of forbidden foods for women.

The sheikh was asked how to “control” women when they are out shopping for groceries and if holding these items at the market would be bad for them. The cleric answered saying this matter is between them and God.

The jealous cleric is obviously a homo. All phallic symbols are his.

This would be hilarious if these people didn’t consider maiming and murder to be justifiable punishment for a woman showing too much elbow.

Is there a similar rule for men with oranges, grapefruit or melons?

Is zucchini ok?

[Da Coyote]

Yes, folks, people such as this really exist. We really need to develop an ISM (Imam Seeking Missile) which - if successful - would raise the world’s IQ by a measurable amount.

But don’t worry, our MSM is constantly on guard to expose all those evillllllll Christians out there.

Islamic cleric’s should get their minds out of the gutter

Barney Frank among those most impacted

Ouuuuuuch! Oh, he's talking about the vegetables. Still, ouch!

“Barney Frank among those most impacted”

I’m thinkin’ that Bawney would be most welcomed by the Imams (in private, of course).

Women should be just fine hanging around a gaggle of Islamic clerics, though...

[Charlespg]

These people are dumb as pig S*****

[RightGeek]

Wives of Islamic clerics have even more restrictions of this type - they aren't allowed to use crayons either.

[skeeter]

Islamic women must not lust after Jihadis. Otherwise the cleric would be warning them away from baby carrots & snow peas.
