Muslims throughout the Islamic world are now being advised not to consume Pepsi Cola because it contains the parts of pigs used it it's production ~
Begin my translation ~
Al-Irsyad the Islamic Agency for Research in Egypt has now recommended that Muslims are not to consume Pepsi Cola because it is being suspected of containing material that has been made from the intestines of pigs.
Dr. Mustofa Asyak'ah an agency member has asked for the other members of the agency to gather to discuss this problem, so that the Muslim community can receive clarity as to whether the product is haram (forbidden) or not, according to the daily Egyptian Al-Arabiyah.
Dr. Mustofa explained that the manufacturer of the drink has included a special material made from the intestines of pigs in the process of the drink's production.
"Because of this we are trying to break down of the materials used so that we might get some clarity on the issue" he said.
Mmmm... Pork Flavoured Pepsi
It WOULD improve the taste.
Hah! Given the things the president said about the US, this is most amusing.
Does that mean the millions of Muslims who drank Pepsi over the last few decades are now barred from paradise unless they kill something as an act of Jihad?
Slanderous accusation against pepsi. Aside from the Pepsico chairman being an idiot and related comments I don't think FR should participate in this "smear".
Excuse me?
This is breaking news in Indonesia now.

Oh no. They merely have to turn themselves inside out and do a ritual cleansing. Alternatively, they'll have to subsist on emetics and laxatives for the rest of their days.
what the ????
Some carefully planted references and stories about pig parts used in the preparation or packaging of just about every food product that muslims eat could lead to some pretty funny stuff. :)
I'm saying it's a Pepsico hit piece that is slanderous and without merit.
BTTT
I thought it said Pig Farts at first read. What a relief.
I took the time to translate it. A simple thank you would have been enough.
what do you work for Pepsi?
If it is news in Indonesia, then its news and not slander. I mean, look at what the Press gets away with here!!!
if it really is without merit then it will be debased here shortly, i.e. Newsweak.
Nobody here believes differently. This is postworthy because we all get quite amused by the sheer stupidity of Islamunists. I hope we can convince them that every pleasure they suck up from the 21st Century is "contaminated", including modern medical procedures. It'll make a lot less of them to have to kill when the Big War starts.
