It appears that cucumber farmers are equivalent to pornographers in some religious circles. We previously saw how a grocer in Iraq was killed for putting fruits and vegetable together that might be sexually suggestive. Now, an Islamic cleric in Europe has issued his own warning to Muslim women not to get close to cucumbers, bananas or other sexually suggestive fruit.
The published warning from the Islamic site el-Senousa includes instructions for men to cut up cucumbers and bananas before women can come into contact with them to protect them from temptation and immorality. Perhaps stores should store the fruits and vegetables in brown paper bags behind the counter with the Penthouse and Hustler copies.
Carrots and zucchini also were added to the list of demonic fruits and vegetables.
It appears that it is the Atkins diet or damnation.

Veggies are extremely dangerous and can lead to this:
Hmm… And if they do is that attempted rape or adultery….
LOL Catullus.
Oh my, and eating hoi polloi breaks me out in kuru.
I start rollin’ and a tumblin’ and dreaming all nite long.
The first people to accuse others of sexual immorality are those with the dirtiest thoughts, trying to control their own mind’s temptations of the flesh, by projecting off on others. Almost all of the time it is a male thing of being unable to control their own lascivious designs on women and the urges these sick men feel. I’m quite tolerant and understanding of most forms of sexuality, except for those with power who are overwhelmed with their own sexual sickness. That many of these types turn to religion is no accident. It is on the same level as an addict self-medicating, or a supposed Christian flagellating. Give that sexuality is a basic genetic/emotional drive, these types are the ones who are ultimately evil.

Dredd, now we know where those seventy virgins come from. They don’t need or want males. Won’t that be a kick in the pants to those who martyr themselves in anticipation of the seventy virgins. They now have the prowess of a hundred men and not a single virgin is the slightest bit interested. Welcome to Hell.
Several years ago, there was a call on my police scanner about an Arab man masturbating in the women’s underwear section of Kmart. Islam. and their interpretation of it, has really messed up their minds.
More porn for Muslims … it’s become a real addiction.
@Catullus, laugh at the dangers of fruit and vegetables all you want, but they are extremely dangerous.
@Mike,
I love your sweeping generalizations, they shed light on a certain brand of politically correct dumbassed fetishistic truthiness.
“Almost all of the time it is a male thing of being unable to control their own lascivious designs on women and the urges these sick men feel. ”
I think the cleric has too much time on his hands for thinking about sex. For the salvation of his own soul, I recommend he never puts two peas and a string bean in his hand. It might lead him to evil thoughts.
Bron, what is there about projection that you do not understand? WTF?
Mike is absolutely correct, and that is an observation based on research published in the professional literature to which both Mike and I subscribe.
HenMan, that string bean might intimidate some of those guys.
Sorry for the above, I meant ‘anon’, not Bron. I did not mean to slight Bron.
I now realize why these Mullahs wear those robes. It’s produce envy. Allah forbid that anyone realize their muslim genitals resemble cucumbers…only LOTS smaller.

@OS,
If Kash is correct, what we see here in this thread is you and Mike panting over how evil men are when you read of a hoax.
But when I point out an actual visualizable, measurable, instance of women doing the same damn thing, what we get from you and Mike is … silence.
As the feminists say, women like to get drunk and fuck just the same as men.
What the feminists don’t say, and Mike throws in with them here, is that much of modern feminism is all about judgmental bullshit and controlling men’s natural, and good sexual tendencies by how again?
Oh yeah, accusing all men of sexual immorality, and controlling male sexual expressions.
“The first people to accuse others of sexual immorality are those with the dirtiest thoughts, trying to control their own mind’s temptations of the flesh, by projecting off on others. Almost all of the time it is a male thing of being unable to control their own lascivious designs on women and the urges these sick men feel.”
What is telling shed’s light on Mike and your creepy pc brains is how sexist and so bullshit the statement is.
Ungender it, maybe there is something we can agree on.
Again, from Kash, the story is bullshit, but that won’t stop you and Mike in picking up your pitchforks against evil men.

pete,
I’m trying to resist the naturally occurring joke for which you provided a segue.
But I will say it has something to do with some Mullahs being jerks.
let me guess, something about being flogged?
“I love your sweeping generalizations, they shed light on a certain brand of politically correct dumbassed fetishistic truthiness.
Anon,
First let’s deconstruct your choice of words particularly “politically. correct”.
This was a term developed by the extreme right-wing in this country when they were being called on the racist, sexist and homophobic blather they were spewing. It was a tactic that gave leave to their use of code words, by
accusing the accuser of being unreasonably authoritarian and humorless.
As in “don’t you understand that when I a white man am talking in stereotypical black dialect, I’m not a racist, I’m just having fun”. Or in the alternative on a subject you know much about: “When I call all women “Ho’s”, I’m just kidding around. So in itself your use of the term “politically
correct” says more about you, than it does about me and yes I do mean that in a pejorative sense. As for “truthiness” that was a term coined by Stephen Colbert to describe the Bush administrations right-wing lying. I know you dislike me, label me what you wish, but I’m hardly a right-winger. However, in both instances your line of discourse seems a strangely familiar tactic, one in use by the likes of Karl Rove and Grover Norquist.
Now your use of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” was just plain stupid. Why, because as anyone who has read me here would surmise, I’m a free love kind of guy. I don’t see anything wrong with seduction, the theme of the song, especially when the person being seduced is willingly complicit as in the classic Dean and Doris duet:
However, the song might scandalize you, because Dean doesn’t anywhere imply he wants to pay her for sex.

I could try explaining it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.
So, I am not even going to try, because I have a strong preference for being reality-based and know when some cases are hopeless.
Mike, sigh, once more you are demonstrating your ignorance.
You like Baby It’s Cold Outside?
That, as I’m sure you knew, is the song feminists love to decry as the Christmas Date Rape Song.
There’s no such thing as political correctness then? And liberals don’t think political correctness is real?
Your story of the origin myth of Political Correctness is very well done. Disseminated far and wide to cover up liberal behavior against free speech.
Sadly it’s not true at all. And many liberals with their heads non-rectally-dominated recognize this.

“What the feminists don’t say, and Mike throws in with them here, is that much of modern feminism is all about judgmental bullshit and controlling men’s natural, and good sexual tendencies by how again?”
Anon,
Do you mean “men’s natural, and good sexual tendencies” to mean like giving Las Vegas hookers multiple orgasms and which you admitted to doing recently in another thread at this blog? Listen Anon, providing you’re having consensual sex with an adult, I could care less about yours, or anyone else’s sex lives. I made a personal statement about the fact that I’ve never used, nor had the desire to resort to prostitution for my sexual gratification. That others do it is fine with me as long as the workers are in it of their free will and are earning a living. It should be legalized, but it hasn’t been because keeping it illegal is another way to control women.
However, when you make statements like the one above all you are doing is revealing your own fear of women and your own need to control women. To you controlling them is accomplished by paying them. As long as they are willing and free it’s none of my concern. I admit though that while I do think some men resort to prostitutes for good reasons, (their age, their looks, their inability to be part of a relationship, etc.) I think a good many others do so for the pleasure of controlling women and in their mind putting women in their place.
Let’s cut to the chase though, shall we? You obviously don’t like me in the sense of what I write here and what I believe. You take every opportunity to
disparage me and my writing, that’s obvious and of course your prerogative. I do affect some people that way and even understand why this is the case. It mystifies me though why you give me in particular such attention, since I’m simply not important in the scheme of things. Disparage me if you will and I will answer in a less heated though more pointed vein.
Isn’t this a waste of your time though, when you could be making a variety of good arguments to express your point of view? I’ve even shown you in the past that I can myself find ways to disparage me, better then you ever could. Seriously though, isn’t it a bore?
“That, as I’m sure you knew, is the song feminists love to decry as the Christmas Date Rape Song.”
Anon,
Can you supply a source for that allegation?
“Your story of the origin myth of Political Correctness is very well done. Disseminated far and wide to cover up liberal behavior against free speech.”
So you’re not (HORRORS!) a liberal, or eve middle of the roader. I’m shocked, because sometimes you seem to pretend to be, but now I know with your FIRE reference that you’re just another Libertarian, albeit one who hates women.

Anon,
I see you’ve commented on another thread, so I’m still waiting for the source of your allegation that “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is known among
Feminists as the “Christmas Date Rape Song”.
This is fatwa is apparently another bit of fake news. I got the following link from the Steve Bates trackback link wherein the original publisher of the story admits there was a mistake and has posted a corrective story (below).

Thanks, Steve! Good catch.
Okeydoke, I hope he is telling all my brothers in Islam to avoid fruit that is suggestive to them. My goodness, we don’t have enough real issues?
I hope it is a fake!!
If I read the story correctly, the cleric in question did make those pronouncements, but some of his colleagues are saying, in so many words, that he is an idiot for making them.
The bad part is, even bad preachers have their followers who take them seriously. That is true of every major religion I know of.
If you get the carrot, you get the stick!
That cleric is a big faggot, LOL… he got first the idea of putting bananas & carrots up his ass !!!!!!!!! :p
