"Οι ντομάτες είναι χριστιανικές, το φάγωμα τους είναι αμαρτία"
Eνα διαφορετικό δημοσίευμα μας τράβηξε την προσοχή. Τίτλος του "Οι ντομάτες είναι χριστιανικές, το φάγωμα τους είναι αμαρτία". Η γνωστή για τις ακραίες της απόψεις ισλαμιστική ομάδα Σελεφί στην Αίγυπτο ισχυρίστηκε πως οι ντομάτες είναι χριστιανικές και το φάγωμα τους αμαρτία. Σύμφωνα με την ιστοσελίδα Now Lebanon, στην ιστοσελίδα της ομάδας αυτής στο Facebook δημοσιεύεται φωτογραφία ντομάτας και προτρέπει τους αναγνώστες της να μην τις τρώνε. Τι άλλο θα ακούσουμε;

Salafist group warns tomatoes are “Christian”

This makes perfect sense... because it makes no sense.
A Salafist group called the Popular Egyptian Islamic Association has come under fire after sending out a warning on Facebook urging its followers not to eat tomatoes because the vegetable (or fruit) is a Christian food.
The group posted a photo on its page of a tomato - which appears to reveal the shape of a cross after being cut in half – along with the message: “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.”
Yeah... no.
Predictably, Facebook users expressed outrage over the post, which prompted the group to clarify its stance on the controversy with the update, “We didn’t say you can’t eat tomatoes. We said don’t cut it in [such a way that reveals] the cross shape.”
I see what you did there. Crazy religious nutjobs are still crazy.
I wonder if the Muslim Brotherhood’s presidential candidate, Mohammad Morsi, is happy about getting an endorsement from this group?
