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.
I think I may have just figured out what this is about. Someone has been spreading a rumor that Pepsi contains pepsin (a digestive enzyme) obtained from the stomach of pigs. Go here and scroll down to Q68.

Then click on that question which links to an answer explaining that this is total nonsense.
Is that how the carbonation is generated?
Pepsi's made from chitlin's? I knew there was some kind of taste in there I didn't like.
Let's just toss around a football and forget all about it.
Consumation of pork would improve the IQ of the islamics.
"Is that how the carbonation is generated?"
Yes. Always. In everything. (Didn't you take science in high school? Gees!!!!)
Eureka! We have just found the solution!
Develop Bio-fuels from pig $hit. We produce mega tons of it on our pig farms. Make gasoline from the feed stocks and use it to power our automobiles. This will saturate and contaminate the air we breath with pig $hit effluents.
Let's go for it!
haw, haw, haw!!
Yum. Mecca Cola...free of pork, and made in the land of BS.

You have a wonderful sence of humor. Thank you.
Right now I'm wearing a rankled pair of shorts. They do need a bit of unrankling.
In a few, I will be changing into my pajamahadeen outfit. My lovely housekeeper (once a week) irons them. I really don't know why. (This is one of the lovely perks living in the tropics. Housekeepers are affordable for us lazy chicks.)
We're to be married in July.
To each other???
