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.”...

Red...looks like the ragheads may be declaring a ‘fatwa’ on our gardens pretty soon...you might want to ‘ping’ the garden list so they can get prepared to defend their tomatoes... :-)

Neanderthal fools who are working on their first atomic bomb.
Worse than monkeys with hand grenades.

The poor tomato that did nothing to anyone. First it was Christians who shuned it and now it’s muslims.

Christophobia is a terrible thing, but anything that makes Muslims uncomfortable in their ignorance is a good thing. Thank God for the goodness of tomatoes, the love apple.

It’s exactly this type of thinking that keeps these morons in the third century.

[rfreedom4u]

Did these idiots ever think that maybe it’s just a “t” which stands for “tomato” possibly?

Or maybe they are holding it wrong and it is an “x”

[blueunicorn6]

They should stop eating all food.....just to be sure.

[MikeSteelBe]

It looks like a Maltese cross anyway.

[tet68]

I guess they’ve never been exposed to

Attack of the Killer Tomatos!

or else they’d know there is more
to fear than the cross.

All foods are also Christian foods, so I hope they starve. haha. Morons.

Hee hee.

Maybe we can convince them that oxygen is Christan as well?

[ronnie raygun]

This is a male oriented cult plain and simple, has nothing to do with religion. Its about control

I know there are few to no tomato hothouses in Gaza, but surely across the Arab world, there are Arab tomato farmers, hothouses and tomato field owners, wondering WTF...

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

[who knows what evil?]

All foods are also Christian foods, so I hope they starve.

GMTA! I made a similar point to my wife when I first saw this thread...ALL food is a creation of G-d, so Muslims should just quit eating. Do the 'Jim Jones' thing, musloids...before you defile your body with Christian food any further...

[KosmicKitty]

Wonder if the tomato band would include my purple cherokees

[GenXteacher]

Well, maybe they should eat polonium instead....

[Sirius Lee]

Even worse! It’s the food of Teotl worshippers.
