Islamists Issue Dire Facebook Warning

Islamists Issue Dire Facebook Warning: ‘Eating Tomatoes Is Forbidden Because They Are Christian’




News out of the Middle East never ceases to be intriguing, bizarre and unceasingly concerning. But the story you’re about to read actually crosses into a comical sphere. The Popular Egyptian Islamic Association, a Salafist (extremist Sunni Muslims who support jihad) group out of Egypt allegedly took to its Facebook page this month to urge followers not to eat tomatoes, claiming that they are a Christian vegetable (botanically it’s a fruit).
Popular Egyptian Islamic Association Warns: Tomatoes Are Christian

According to the Now Lebanon web site, an image of a tomato cut in half was posted on the group’s page. In the picture, the insides of the vegetable appear to show what looks like a Christian cross (see above). The web site reports that the text accompanying the picture reads:
“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.”

what a bunch of backwards assed, camel humping religious nut bags

Doesn't matter what we think. They will do what they do.

I would advise you and everyone else get their lives in order with God.

They can, and probably will, bring down civilization as we know it, just because of what they believe.

They don't care, and a whole lot of westerners don't care either. They think it is a joke, but the joke will be on us.

Well, of course you have all that Juice in the thing that could resemble sperm, and seeds in the thing that could resemble, well, seeds or eggs of something, and of course you have the totally offensive bright red-orange of the thing, so brazen in appearance. Ugly Americans! Ugly!

You might be taking it a bit far there, certainly I hope so, but the advice applies nevertheless, and PRECIOUS advice it is.

They forgot to mention that the red of the tomato can be indicative of the blood shed on the cross! Oh, and the spherical shape is indicative of the entire earth denoting the universal aspect of Christianity! Oh oh, and the little green leaves are indicative of eternal life that all Christians will obtain! I'm good with signs and symbols, shall I keep going?

Little did I realize how very Christian a tomato is. I think I'll put an extra slice on my sandwich today, just because.

I don't think I'm going overboard on this, RR.

All signs point to Islam, or at least those that control Islam (that would be the Jihadist radicals) going all out to get their desired goal - world domination.

I'm no doomsdayer. Just a realist. I'm as ready as I can be on both the earthly and eternal fronts.

The reality is there are so many in the west that just don't care or just ignore what's happening, because "Hey, they wouldn't do something like that to me! Me and mine, we're just good people."

I will be civil with you, because I think your heart is in the right place. Your head leaves a lot to be desired.

You claim Jihadists control Islam. Pray tell, who controls judaism? Here's a hint: genocidal zionist extremists.

You claim Islam's desired goal is world domination. Pray tell, what is judaism's desired goal? What impact does AIPAC play on US foreign policy? Who controls the banking industry and media in the US? Who has nuclear weapons capabilities and is not a signatory to the NNPT? Why is the US hellbent on protecting a country that openly violates human rights, commits genocide, and has more UN Resolutions condemning it for its actions than any other country in the world?

You claim Islam's desired goal is world domination. Pray tell, what is judaism's desired goal? To survive What impact does AIPAC play on US foreign policy? About the same as CAIR's Who controls the banking industry and media in the US? This is quite an extensive list, Brian Moynihan at BOA, Peter Welber at Chevy Chase, Gracia Martore at Gannett publishing, Rupert Murdoch at fox news...Who has nuclear weapons capabilities and is not a signatory to the NNPT? Pakistan, India, Israel Why is the US hellbent on protecting a country that openly violates human rights, commits genocide, and has more UN Resolutions condemning it for its actions than any other country in the world?Why not

‘Westerners’ (as you like to call them), regardless of our bleak economic times, still live pretty good. When life is relatively good we tend to forget the bad things. It seems most people have forgotten the horror of 911. I would bet 99% of the people that watched 911 unfold were in disbelief that anyone could do such a horrible thing. But, because 11 years has passed, people grow complacent and forgetful.

These radicals still want to do what they did on 911 over and over again if they could. They are counting on us going back to the days of pre-911. They are counting on us forgetting how horrible it was. And their calculations will be correct. They are very patient people. We are very forgetful.
