A recent article in the UK Telegraph offered insights into the many ways that Islamists in Baghdad are making life, by increments, miserable for citizens of the city. Ice producers, crucial in helping people survive in Iraq’s 115 degree summer heat, have recently suffered several murders from their ranks. The reason: Their product was not available during the time of Mohammed.
Street venders who sell the popular Middle Eastern food falafel have also lost two of their own in the past few weeks, with other venders now closing their stalls. The same reason is offered by the Islamists, namely, that falafels did not exist at the beginning of Islam. Those who laughed off the warnings are now lying in Baghdad cemeteries.
Islamists have also warned Baghdad residents who wear goatees to shave or else. That prohibition, subject to a visit from a vigilante death squad, is due to the fact that goatees originate from a “Jewish facial hairstyle.” The article states that barbers have been busier than usual, after a 17 year old was murdered the other month for ignoring the no-goatee warning.
Mayonnaise is also in the sights of the self-appointed morality police. Like goatees, mayonnaise has a Jewish connection. Mayonnaise is made in Israel. Therefore, it, too, joins the long list of things haraam, forbidden to Muslims, according to the Islamists’ playbook. Needless to say, most restaurants are holding the mayonnaise, with or without the customer’s request.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Miracle Whip I can understand. But Mayo??? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

How 'bout knives? I'll bet they're made in Israel, too. Gonna quit whacking throats?
Just curious what the rules are....
So is oxygen, it comes from trees roots in Jewish soil and watered with Jewish water. I suggest that if this offends you that you stop breathing now.
Good grief. They have lost their collective minds.
TROP ping
Muhammed had an AK-47? An RPG?
Hypocrites.
Can they have Miracle Whip? I just need to know.
They should all be shot because the cotton that made their clothing was not yet created in the time of Mohammed.
Actually Miracle Whip is HARAMMMMM in my household,
When my son was in the IDF, he asked for two things he couldn't get in Israel: Miracle Whip and Jif peanut butter.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reported today that insiders are saying O.J. Mayo has settled on USC for his college basketball career.
Another OJ at USC.
Miracle Whip? UNGH!
Best Foods, Hellmans, Dukes (a wonderful southern brand) rule.
I sense a battle brewing.
Aha!! Lets drown them in mayo!!
Personally I hate Miracle Whip, but two of my sons can't live without it. Go figure.
I can't understand why the perpatrators of these crimes are not hunted down by the people. They are insisting to the point of murder on some silly observance.
Bring out the Hellman's and bring out the best......sheesh! No wonder these people have an attitude!
Can you imagine a ham sandwich without mayo?(sorry)...*~*
"Street venders who sell the popular Middle Eastern food falafel have also lost two of their own in the past few weeks, with other venders now closing their stalls."
Falafels aren't kosher?
Oy vey!
Pork, mayo, liquor...all haram.
No wonder these Mooslems are flipped out psychos.
Skip it and just substitute bacon grease instead. That ought to do the trick.
