Salafist group warns tomatoes are “Christian”

This makes perfect sense... because it makes no sense.

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.”

I see what you did there. Crazy religious nutjobs are still crazy.

I wonder if the Muslim Brotherhood’s presidential candidate, Mohammad

Note to all Islamists:

All food, with the exception of goat dung, is an infidel plot. You must avoid eating all food other than goat dung.

ESAD. That is all.

People have to remember that a sizable percentage of people from that part of the world have I.Qs in the two-digit territory. Millions of very stupid people. Undoubtedly, there are millions of intelligent people in the mid-East, but their numbers appear to dwarfed by the ignorati. Look for the Muslim brotherhood to win a lot of elections in Arab countries.

Since bacon and now tomato are forbidden then it must be just a lettuce sandwich.

Indeed. All you Salifists out there, stay away from the juicy, homegrown tomatoes! The Christians are about to slice ‘em and expose them for what they are: food from God!

Remember how hundreds of them brutally attacked, gang-raped Lara Logan saying she’s ‘Jewish’?

On the other hand, some Christians are definitely “tomatoes.”
