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 dont 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 didnt say you cant eat tomatoes. We said dont cut it in [such a way that reveals] the cross shape....
A Muslim meets Christ
This is one of the most powerful videos I have seen...A must watch.
If you are a Christian, you need to watch this video!
If you are not a Christian, you need to watch this video!
If you are a non-believer, you need to watch this video!

That was very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
But...,but...wheat is a Christian symbol of converts. Remember the song "Bringing in The Sheaves"? Also, the fish is a well known symbol for Christian converts. Jesus said, "I will make you fishers of men". They better not eat fish either.
Thanks for the video. Freepers and others would not have to express hatred of Muslims, but rather should love them, through God's Holy Spirit, into the true Kingdom of God. People are people, and all people need and can understand love. If we make friends with a Muslim, love them and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them, God will do the rest. Many will be saved.
The quicker we kill every one of these dumb ass mooslims the better we will be.
Very good. I had first gotten them through my CSA, but liked them so much I got some seeds and am growing my own this year.
Firm with a great tomato taste.
I read about a harem where the Sultan forbade the residents to eat cucumbers because they were used for, ahem, other purposes. (Those women were very frustrated.)
It just reminds me of WWI German fighter planes. I think the post WWII German AF used them, too.
Most young people today could not tell a Maltese cross from a swastika from a pentagram and a star of David anyway.
Am I the only one that sees Baron Von Richtofen in that toast?
That same people told it is haram to drive Chevy for that same reason.
