Don't underestimate sexy produce and it's seductive qualities. CAIRO: An Islamic cleric residing in Europe said that women should not be close to bananas or cucumbers, in order to avoid any “sexual thoughts.”
The unnamed sheikh, who was featured in an article on el-Senousa news, was quoted saying that if women wish to eat these food items, a third party, preferably a male related to them such as their a father or husband, should cut the items into small pieces and serve.
He said that these fruits and vegetables “resemble the male penis” and hence could arouse women or “make them think of sex.”
He also added carrots and zucchini to the list of forbidden foods for women.
The sheikh was asked how to “control” women when they are out shopping for groceries and if holding these items at the market would be bad for them. The cleric answered saying this matter is between them and God.

If my wife sees a cucumber and thinks of me I’ll finally have proof of her inability to measure accurately.

"He said that these fruits and vegetables “resemble the male penis” and hence could arouse women..."Honestly, that almost sounds like something a sixth grade boy would say, followed by a bunch of giggling.
Hey, maybe they should ban turbans! They make people think of A$$HOLES!

The women should carry a picture of the cleric.If aroused,a quick look at the photo should settle them down.

You’re absolutely right. I would have included that in my previous post, but for some reason I couldn’t find the right words to express it at the time.

What = a lying snake. She looks VERY happy at her press conference making her accusations with her sister snake Gloria Alred!

Women shouldn't be allowed to watch Monty Python either: "what to do when you are attacked by someone with a banana" could lead to impure thoughts if they focus on the fruit.

Perhaps these ‘brilliant’ Muslim clerics should issue fatwas against Muslim males from associating with young boys and young men, as well as sheep and goats, to avoid arousal and perverted sex. Oh, wait . . . that's what clerics do. My bad.
