Islamic Group Forbids Tomatoes 'Because They Are Christian?'

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...

"Eating tomatoes is forbidden because they are Christian

I thought I read that Jesus was revered as a prophet but not a God among muslims?

[circlecity]

All food is Christian so I think those Muslims should just quit eating althogether to be on the safe side. It’s the only way to be sure.........

How does “the sister” know what the prophet of allah looks like? Images of the pedophile are forbidden.

I would like to know how many Moslems work for HJ Heinz. I would think they will all be quitting their jobs as soon as possible since that company does a bit of work with tomatoes. In fact any company that deals with tomatoes should be seeing all them Moslems quitting as soon as possible.

I wonder when Bloomberg will ban tomato’s in NYC?

I love tomatoes,
Unfortunately, I am allergic to them.
I can’t think of a food that would be worse to be allergic to.
(no pizza, no spaghetti, and the worst, no ketchup).

We see Jesus in burnt toast, trees, peanut butter sandwiches,...so I guess they can find the cross of Jesus in a tomato.

Thought maybe it was because they looked like balls which the Islamist Association is laughably lacking in.

Why else drape their women in burlap and strap bombs to their little boys?

[InvisibleChurch]

I’m sorry to hear that. No pizzas is sad.

Fascinating superstition.

It would be an interesting study to find out if this mandate leads to higher rates of prostate cancer in their population.

If Americans ever get to the Moon again we should have a collection started to pay one of them to take the moon buggy and use it to etch out a cross that can be seen from Earth by telescope.

What a nice fork in the eye of the false moon god.
