NEW DELHI: An unnamed Islamic cleric based in Europe has issued a ban on women touching fruits and vegetables resembling the male sexual organ to avoid “sexual thoughts”. “According to the cleric, bananas and cucumbers “resemble the male penis” and therefore could arouse women or “make them think of sex.” The cleric also added carrots and zucchini to the list of forbidden foods for women. ”
I note that sausage has never been mentioned, undoubtedly because most of it is made with pork. Still….
Round fruits and vegetables may be next, and especially EGGS, whose shape mostly resembles the balls you know of which I speak, and syntax be damned.
Things like this are why the rest of the world holds Muslims in such high regard. They’re so advanced, so calm, clearheaded and above all, peaceful. Which helps explain why Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, U.S. Marine Corps, who pleaded guilty Monday to a single count of negligent dereliction of duty in the killing of 24 Iraqis in 2005, (UPDATED) will not do any jail time, will not have his pay reduced, and (it’s not known yet) may not have his rank reduced either.
These were Iraqi civilians who lived in the immediate vicinity of an attack by a terrorist. Wuterich had his squad enter two houses with the instructions to “shoot first and ask questions later”, which they did, killing 24 Iraqi men, women and children. Or so the story goes.
All of the other squad members have been acquitted or had their charges dropped, and it’s this specific case that resulted in the Iraqi’s refusing to give our fighters immunity in Iraqi courts, which in turn resulted in our telling the Iraqis to kiss it, and leaving.
A damn good reason why we don’t want our people tried in Iraqi courts is the attitude of those who would try them: “It’s just another barbaric act of Americans against Iraqis,” Kamil al-Dulaimi, a Sunni lawmaker told The Associated Press “They spill the blood of Iraqis and get this worthless sentence for the savage crime against innocent civilians.”
Strange you never hear them raging like that against their own terrorist killers who kill our soldiers and who wipe out hundreds of innocent people in mosques and market places with bombs strapped on retarded women and hidden in cars.
Personally, I think that the 3 months in the brig is way too severe a sentence for the death of 24 Iraqis. Those people are worth less than the dirt they stand on, so I hope he gets off with no punishment at all. AND (see UPDATED) HE DID! HOORAH!
