A Salafist group from Egypt appears to be trying to retract a post on Facebook that warned that eating tomatoes are "forbidden because they are Christian."
However, the Muslim traditionalist group, calling themselves the Popular Egyptian Islamic Association, apparently still finds tomatoes offensive if they are cut in such a way that reveals the shape of a cross, according to the Now Lebanon website.
Along with a photo of a tomato cut in half to reveal what could be viewed as a cross, the group originally posted on Facebook: "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," according to a translation by Now Lebanon...

Aren’t certain fruits also forbidden by these cretans because they are too “sexual”? Women cannot touch bananas and melons are also offensive, as I recall.
This is the most bizarre cult in the history of humanity, and that’s saying a lot.
Do they have a problem with lettuce? I may have to have a BLT for lunch.
Satan likes them ignorant.
Satan likes everyone ignorant,makes his work so much easier.
You knew this wouldn't have come from the Saladist sect....
I wonder if maybe we should send him one of these?

Ah, a new slander against those poison ‘love apples’ that are so important in spaghetti sauce, ketchup, and garnishing sandwiches.
I must be more ignorant than a Muslim as I’ve lived my entire life and never once noticed the cross in a halved tomato.
If that gets them in a tizzy, will they be afraid of spontaneously combusting when coming in contact wtih a drop of holy water?
Maybe Salafists are vampires if that is how they react when seeing anything remotely resembling a Cross.
Psssttt...while y’all are at it, ‘air’ is Christian too.
“After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
1 Thessalonians 4:17
So I guessing the passion fruit is only allowable to muslim men.

The entire muslim cult revolves around sex and is based on what the rantings of a semi-retarded, hormonal, 14 year old boy would have.
The entire religion and all of its' adherents are degenerate ignoramuses with no redeeming value to the rest of the population of Earth.
Poor you! I really mean it - that’s awful!
Now, I’ve got to figure out how to cut a tomato to reveal the cross.
I wonder how these jawas can even force themselves to do addition.
This is how we win. Put a cross mark on all food.
Romans 1:18
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Thanks for the ping!
