The group's message on Facebook.


A Salafi group called the "Popular Egyptian Islamic Association" has warned Muslims against eating tomatoes on the grounds that the fruit is a "Christian food," NowLebanon.com has reported.

The group based its claim on the fact that a shape resembling a cross is revealed when one cuts a tomato in half.

The association published the warning on its Facebook page with a photo of a tomato cut in half, revealing a cross-shaped interior.

A message posted on the page read, "Eating tomatoes is forbidden because they are Christian. [The tomato] praises the cross instead of Allah and says that Allah is three [in reference to the Holy Trinity]."

The message went on to say, "I implore you to spread this photo because there is a sister from Palestine who saw the Prophet of Allah in a vision and he was crying, warning his nation against eating [tomatoes]. If you don’t spread this [message], know that it is the devil who stopped you.”

The message caused outrage among Facebook users, which prompted the group to clarify their warning, saying they did not tell people not to eat tomatoes. "We said don’t cut it in [such a way that it reveals] the cross shape.”

ofcourse this is quite funny when compared to a more outragious and un-Islamic ruling by the wahhabis aka salafists they earlier on passed in egypt on husbands sleeping with their dead wives:

looks like we are in for a ride of commedy.

i only feel sad because ignorant non-muslims would not know [the difference between a salafist/wahhabi and other Muslims.they would end up giving Islam a bad image unjustifiably.i only posted this to enlighten others especially those who have been defending the wahhabis aka salafists and their terrorism in this very forum.

well,let us see if they would have any excuse to defend these people again over this ridiculous fatwa of theirs on tomatoes.

Lol

if they don't like tomatoes,then let them try bananas or plantain

these people are not serious.they should keep amusing us with their comedy so far they stop their terrorism.

^Even bananas and plantains are not ok.

I think they need not look at all these.

I thought wahabis are the type that come from Saudi Arabia? How can Boko Haram be Wahabis?

Funny thread.

fellis:

call them wahhabis (those in saudi arabia) or call them salafists (those elsewhere),it is two names referring to the same movement and group of people with the same ideology and extremism and not to forget their foolish fatwas all of which in a combination is giving Muslims and Islam a very bad image the world over.

maclatunji: Funny thread.

thank God you find it funny.

Lagosshia do you hate the wahabis/salafis?

fellis: Lagosshia do you hate the wahabis/salafis?

brother/sister,
there is nothing personal.its about the truth and its about rejecting the actions of people who are killing even Muslims and giving Islam a bad image.

no grudge at all.it is all about guidance.

I noticed that you didn't answer the question directly.
You tend to say unpleasant things about them so I asked if you hate them.
And please you don't have to address me as brother/sister when you want to tell me something, haha.
You should use only one. Am not an hermaphrodite.

i do not hate them.

Cool.

this topic is so ridiculous that i could not stop laughing.yet i find it very informative.i now know too well about the 'virus' crawling among Muslims.i think this thread should go to the front page.definitely!

going to facebook pages to get the fatwa of a non - existant group is quite low at least this group exist only face book compared to this cleric who occupies a sensitive position in govt.

Women to blame for earthquakes, says Iran cleric

A senior Iranian cleric says women who wear revealing clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes.
Iran is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, and the cleric's unusual explanation for why the earth shakes follows a prediction by the president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that a quake is certain to hit Tehran and that many of its 12 million inhabitants should relocate.

"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media. Women in the Islamic Republic are required by law to cover from head to toe, but many, especially the young, ignore some of the more strict codes and wear tight coats and scarves pulled back that show much of the hair. "What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble?" Sedighi asked during a prayer sermon last week. "There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral codes." Seismologists have warned for at least two decades that it is likely the sprawling capital will be struck by a catastrophic quake in the near future. Some experts have even suggested Iran should move its capital to a less seismically active location. Tehran straddles scores of fault lines, including one more than 50 miles long, though it has not suffered a major quake since 1830.

vedaxcool: going to facebook pages to get the fatwa of a non - existant group is quite low at least this group exist only face book compared to this cleric who occupies a sensitive position in govt.

a fatwa is a fatwa.

and what about women should not go near cucumbers,carrots and bananas? who said that?

and what about husbands sleeping with dead wives?

were all those fatwas spread on facebook?

instead of condemning the stupidity,your ignorance as usually depicts your wahhabi influenced brain.

and what does saying that immorality is bringing the wrath of God upon a people have to do with wahhabi foolishness? is there anything funny,ridiculous or un-Islamic about what the iranian cleric said? he gave an opinion and not a fatwa or ruling to do or not to do something.he gave an opinion from his observation and he could be right or wrong.you cannot prove him wrong. may be i should remind you what the Quran says on natural disasters and suffering,which can be the case in many places.you are such an hypocrite like all wahhabis and their sympathizers.

Holy Quran 30:41
"Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness]".

@ Vedaxcool,

it looks like someone have finally volunteered to put up a defense.

you have not told us if you will stop eating tomatoes.and if you're female,do you still get into close contact with cucumbers? seems wahhabi/salafist women cannot be trusted when they are close to anything long and pointed.

please tell us if you will stop eating tomatoes.no need for redherrings and trying to attack others out of being slapped with the truth.

@Lagosshia, I hope you are happy.

maclatunji: @Lagosshia, I hope you are happy.

Yawns.
