Only men are allowed to buy cucumbers

BAGHDAD — Al Qaeda is losing support in Iraq because of a brutal crackdown on activities it regards as un-Islamic — including women buying cucumbers.

Besides the killings inflicted those who refuse to pledge allegiance to them, Al Qaeda has lost credibility for enforcing a series of rules imposing their way of thought on the most mundane aspects of everyday life.

They include a ban on women buying suggestively shaped vegetables, according to one tribal leader in the western province of Anbar.

Sheikh Hameed Al Hayyes, a Sunni elder, told Reuters: “They even killed female goats because their private parts were not covered and their tails were pointed upward, which they said was haram. They regarded the
cucumber as male and tomato as female. Women were not allowed
to buy cucumbers, only men.”

Other farcical stipulations include an edict not to buy or sell ice-cream, because it did not exist in the time of the Prophet, while hair salons and
shops selling cosmetics have also been bombed.

Most seriously, Sheikh Al Hayyes said: “I saw them slaughter a nine-year-old boy like a sheep because his family didn’t pledge allegiance to them.”

Such behaviour has triggered a backlash among Sunnis, whom Al Qaeda claimed to be protecting, the sheikh and military leaders said.

Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Albers, an American intelligence officer, told Reuters: “Al Qaeda’s very heavy-handed killing of civilians backfired on them. The Sunnis just wouldn’t stand for it any more.

“The self-described protectors of the Sunni community now kill more Iraqi Sunnis than anyone else does.”

With that, they've got to go back to using sabres and pitchforks. No AK-47s, jeeps or bombs allowed yah. Will make it alot easier for the US Army.

btw weren't there cucumbers back on those days? i don't recall reading about bans like this... What's the difference now?? Women's suffrage? :o

It only goes to show that this so call muslims have very weak restitutions that they cannot face temptation..

I guess the men must enjoy the cucumbers themselves so much that it's creating a supply problem. Better get rid of the demand from the women :biggrin:

There are taboos & beliefs in every race, religion.....do not know what the women will do with the cucumbers?

So, carrots, lentils, any vegetables elongated, cylindrical, are banned, I assumed.

there's a lot of misinterpretations of the religious texts by a lot of the religious bigots... makes life difficult for the believers and non-believers alike.
