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.”...
Some people have waaaayyy too much time on their hands.
I was in a hurry, OK? I can’t always steal the whole joke.
Uh... *blush* ummm, er...
*nevermind*
Ah, fuggedaboutit. ;^)
Fundamentalist Islamists Call For Mutilating The Cross...details at 11:00!
I’m not sure that’s news anymore.
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.
Don’t forget the “Miracle Whip.”
Allah will not permit cruciferous vegetables!!!
Mental illness can be entertaining.
Probably about four years ago, there was a story on the national news about a Jewish settlement that was ceded by the Government to the "other guys"..
The folks left their greenhouses, water systems, and all the piping so the new "occupants" could grow crops..
Well, the new occupants, started tearing apart anything metal, the pipes, greenhouse supports, etc to sell it all for scrap metal..Then they trashed the wooden growing tables, and the corrugated plastic walls.
It was disgusting to watch. Morons. Talk about self defeating behavior.
"Oh, look, here's a well, and irrigation system. Let's destroy it and sell it for scrap metal."
You mean, the Pakistanis are not neanderthal fools?
Ghaza: “He makes a dessert and calls it ‘piece’.”

So then they already have a nuclear bomb.
Tis a sign from allah the crusaders will get you if you misbehave.
