Maybe the Egyptian cleric caught his wife masturbating with a cucumber, got pissed, and decided to pass on this fatwa? :DSaifnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-63605679187337141612011-12-12T20:28:48.224-05:002011-12-12T20:28:48.224-05:00This was my response to the cucumbers fatwa on ano...This was my response to the cucumbers fatwa on another site. Sad to think the fatwa was not a joke.<br />"This is clearly a joke but it raises an issue: Women can't fondle carrots cucumbers etc., in the grocery aisle lest they be overcome with lust and disgrace themselves before they reach the checkout. If this is the case and the recommendation that their male relatives do it for them is followed aren't we risking turning them into homosexuals? Of course we could always send the boys on a remedial trip to the rockmelon section to cure them. But wait if we let the sisters handle melons won't they turn into lesbians. Better to let the girls handle the carrots and the boys fondle the melons that way we will all be on the "straight' and 'marrow'".Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16976993335975487293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-19359612468773717282011-12-11T22:00:36.400-05:002011-12-11T22:00:36.400-05:00see wat i tol ja folkssee wat i tol ja folksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-6736458231988157692011-12-11T21:54:27.780-05:002011-12-11T21:54:27.780-05:00Asad,

I think there is hysteria out there fanned by stations such as Fox and also by (formerly) higher profile people like Herman Cain (he had said that he won't appoint a Muslim in his cabinet).Salman Hameedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327330113822656571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-44941057194891589352011-12-11T21:30:19.785-05:002011-12-11T21:30:19.785-05:00Re: Florida Family Assoc., just shows how the (ult...Re: Florida Family Assoc., just shows how the (ultra) conservatives are finding a normal portrayal of muslims so hard to digest as they are used to seeing (or imagining) them only as villains or buffoons on TV/cinema. Reminds me of a documentary called “Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies A People” which is available on Google video and youtube, here’s the link<br /><br />youtube.com/watch?v=DmVoSZk_fvoAsad Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590746399686326935noreply@blogger.com
