Women banned to touch Bananas and cucumbers!!
A read which made ma day .. lols.. how about men? they might turn homo sexuals LMAO...
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".
The Egyptian news website Bikya Masr on Wednesday quoted the cleric whose diktat featured in an article on el-Senousa, a religious publication. The cleric has said that women should not even get close to bananas or cucumbers. "If women wish to eat these food items, a third party, preferably a male related to them such as their a father or husband, should cut the items into small pieces and serve," the cleric dictated.
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.
The news about this latest diktat against women went viral on the web with liberal Muslims feeling enraged and embarrassed. Repression of women in ultra-conservative Islamic societies has been an intense subject of debate throughout the world.

It's ridiculously appalling how standards have dropped in journalism when it comes to Muslim bashing opportunities.
You people need to grow some brains seriously!
I mean, does anyone of you know, or could explain the procedure of issuing religious edicts?
Is it as simple as it was made out that a cleric can just issue a fatwa without evidence to support his reasoning? Shouldn't it be based on chapters from the Koran, for example?
Leaving aside the many, many conspiracy theories that may espouse, the more disturbing aspect is everyone’s rush to judgment.
It’s easy to believe it but irresponsible to circle it, or post it forward on social sites as fact, and so forth as fact when that is not necessarily the case.
Sometimes a cleric has to issue an edict for the clowns to get busy.
Mods : Does it really make you proud of this site or happy abt ur shaty service, when users keep complaining day 'n night, abt the shaty server 'n all the irritating error codes

Ignorant people would believe this nonsense?
If in Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive and treated like sheep, why would this be so hard to believe?
Damsel where can I find such pastries?
First of all only ignorant people would believe that nonsense. I have read that this cleric lives in Europe and his name is not given. Why this cleric’s name is not disclosed!!!!!!
This propaganda is only to distort the picture of Islam.
So please people read before misjudging!
damsel not only are we allowed to eat those delicious mouthful pastries but we earn extra points for doing that too! Its a win win situation for us ;)

any moron can say anything about islam (specially about women in islam) and becomes famous overnight, nobody questions his credibility.
atleast i am happy that this moron did not say that women can use banana and cucmber only after circumcision.
this guy is messed up, he believes that fantasising about other women is sin so he is fantasing about fruits and vegetables and assumes everyone does the same.
women should not touch things shaped like testicles too ( walnuts, chestnuts, prunes, big grapes ( at giant stores ), B.sprouts, cherry tomato, radish, big cherries, etc
Men, maybe banned of feeling and hitting melons, coconuts, papaya, apples for Asian men as well.
What is wrong with people!
one day i might wake up and start ripping people's heads in here..
I need a drink ASAP!
at miss.damsel........ :)
(though,it looks yummy...where can i buy these?)
ahaaa.... 20 designs... am luvin it...
What about men? Are they allowed to eat this? or should we ban them from eating this mouthful pastries?

This could explain why women love gardening :o)
The story's source is actually Cairo and not India; see here:
http://bikyamasr.com/50403/islamic-cleric-bans-women-from-touching-bananas-cucumbers-for-sexual-resemblance/
They seem to have got it from something called 'el-Senousa news'which the Creasent Post also credit with the original story:
http://www.crescentpost.com/tag/el-senousa/
Can't find a link for el-senousa, but it sounds like a Spanish language publication.
Ooopss.. sorry i got it wrong... My Bad..
One question is for sure... how cleric can be unnamed..??
No need an announcement. It is already explained the book. And the Ahadees(Hadiths).
Both the Genders have been told to keep their chastity within limits prescribed by the book.
only matters to follow.
Before there's also another article concerning about the eyes. I mean what's up with them they want to suffocate their women in favor of them which is their problem. I don't hear them banning their own men not to look at women.
Well said Snessy!
but on the part of woman its them by exposing, tempt the men to think of.............
It's not women who have sexual thoughts when handling cucumbers, etc. It's the blokes who are watching the women...pervs!
HUH? what is this guy ranting about now?
This is the clear matter of cyber crime, and he is against Islam , should be reported to authority here in Qatar, insulting topic he made it him self , or he copied both are consider is crime.
Further more if you read the article http://bikyamasr.com/ is the actual source of this news not times of India.
Ingeniero where does it say he was an Egyptian Cleric?? "An unnamed Islamic cleric based in Europe"
Now either the Times of India is full of crap or this Islamic Cleric based in Europe....hmmm.
Egyptian Cleric and published in Times of India? Lol....
and unnamed also??
now,everyone is Going Banana's like in the Philippines tv sitcom lol! :-)
ohh i love eating bananas in the morning, and cucumbers in the evening...(for my eyebag treatment)...:P
LOL alfa Q but why didn't they use it for the butt hole?
Basic womens rights necessitates A banana for each hole...that makes half a dozen banana for 2 girls!
Hmmm .. Just happened to read it in a leading daily which I found funny. I have no strategy my friend and this is to show how some of those so called mud head community leaders survive to have their free meal ticket.
sharingoffice!!! you ok?.. didnt you see the source ? its not my words and get a grip
We all know that no religion will be this stupid.
Morning Khanan bro :)
i feel for her.... sorry
There were these two girls who went to a fruit shop & asked for two bananas. The shop keeper said he has last three left so take all three.
So the girl says to other girl OK we will eat this one.
@ blablabla "over devoted muslim" no way, not even close !!! he is just spreading his crazy thoughts & most probably tryin to be famous!!!
My wife everyday gives bananas to my kids and cucumber is my favarite salad which she prepares everyday, yet we only have sex in months ..!
No doubt there are over devoted muslims who come up with such thoughts mainly because their thoughts revolve around that stuff..
he obviously has a lot of time on his hands.... what an A' hole!!! soon they l try stop women from breathing normal air!!! didnt any of this so called clerics, ever have a loving mother???????
now my question had been answered...thanks redtreble!
Rizks, I am curious if they have some real bananas and where its originated from? Do they have the Chiquita Banana supply as well? Im really curious of what types of bananas they have...hehe!
@mariecor. Bananas and strippers. I'll leave you to connect the dots...
i am curious to know why mariecor is curious to know wat is there in Banana Bar ? :(
redtreble, im curious of the Banana Bar. What is in there?
I shall be in Amsterdam over Christmas and this thread has inspired me to revisit the Banana Bar. And no, it isn't a health food shop...
Aha...I think you just nailed it ;D
Perhaps this is an elaborate conspiracy by Muslim women to get their husbands to cook more.
LOL Alien you are right...but shhh! We dont want to scare away the piggies!
Ha and they just allowed pork sausages of different sizes in qatar
Com on guys, have anyone of you considered that maybe he came home one night and caught his wife using a cucumber to entertain herself since he could not get down to getting down to doing the manly job right, for the past few years?
Areien,
Don't spread FITNA
no source, no name, nothing... what is this Yaar...
does that means we would expect steep fall in the supply of Chiqita bananas in the markets ? :(
I am sure that so called "scholar" doesnt even know 10% of ISLAM and is fake.
u can find lots of thing in the market and in the world which represents male genitals including towers LOL so what ladies should stop touching or buying it????
unnamed cleric from Europe reported by Times of India :/ ????
Good Morning Arien...
think of what? ;)
Some idiots are coming here with empty stomach and when it is filled well, start vomiting the sh_t, he just started the funny topic and run away...
@ Smoke: Oh I totally agree...in fact I was thinking the same thing. My conclusion is that these so called "clerics" are in fact attention starved folks seeking the o'l fifteen minutes of fame. As the saying goes "sex sells" and when you combine "sex" "Islam" and "bananas" you know your onto a winner! Such sickos really...
meaning... they are more "GREEN" minded...
is this a joke?
Arien drink only cow milk not urine myfriend, we know your fxxx agenda,
An unnamed Islamic cleric based in Europe.
Times of India needs something sensational and you can sell to Billions if there is an article against Islam in your magazine or daily, if someone wants to be famous overnight they write an article ridiculing Islam...
"Islamic Cleric" said...blah blah blah and it will be discussed all over the world by more non-muslims than muslims ...
Why does it always come down to 'sex' and 'women' with these idiots. Recently there was the whole...if women start driving in Saudi there will be no more virgins, and now this.
Is there anything else they think about? Think of something to do to fight against temptation of cheating others, stealing, killing, something useful.
Right now the only thing tempting me in my mind, is how many bananas and cucumbers i can shove up that guy's *CENSORED* :p
So what will I do with my part time job at the wax factory polishing the"Dirty" fruits... with my hands?:-(
Why eggs are always forgotten :(
Good morning to you too rub,no not always some times :)
Good Morning too Cryptic writings...are u always up early?
I love cow dung cakes. My staple diet comprises cow dung cakes and 2 glass full of cow pee.
morning Drovers .
you dont know what your mising out on hjalsa ... good morning all
morning rubypavino :)
going backwards...eh!
i suggest this man to go to Green Grocer and he will see lots of fruits n vegetables shaped into something _ _ _ _.
(really makes me laugh this early morning) :-)
I guess the person who wrote this in the news, must be sick minded.
Didnt he talk about people in his own country, eating cows S.....T !!
Get alive !
i cant stop crying after reading your post,, you kil me so funny love it
Honestly I wonder if women are really excited when eating a banana? I also love watching women eating and licking a big banana! They defo don't eat bananas in the same manner as monkeys.
but like everything good its all fake and propaganda against Islam.,, i just dont believe it,,,, but i still like to watch......
The fact that the cleric is not named leads me to believe that it is a hoax..
I certainly hope you both are right...ie that the story is fabricated.I'd also like to think that most people of the world are far more wiser than to actually believe that Islam has anything to do with this drivel.
This is just a fake and propaganda against Islam. Times of India don't have anything else to publish so they publish this crap.
ROFL....Why only bananas, carrots, zucchinis and cucumbers? He should have banned touching or even looking at all phallic shaped objects...hahahaha
Sausages should be handled by the husband! The husband should blindfold the wife before feeding her sausages.
It is a lie Egyptians are not that silly to discuss such trivial things and there is not such a thing is Islam.
Sausages :-P
Did I say it too early?
Haha! Whats next..
do you any source about that news
I like melons and mangoes! I hope they won't forbid me to touch these fruits!
Please don't give em any ideas ;)
I love bananas and cucumber :( i hope they wont ban coke in a glass bottle too . . . :(
Maybe this cleric has a thing for Bananas and cucumbers.
If you know what I mean :P
String beans MaryCatherine?!! I now feel very sorry for you...
Bananas are a staple in my diet...tell this cleric to back off! Seriously to even talk about such a person is embarrassing and makes me wonder if he's for real!The man obviously has a sick mind and is trying to penalize women for he's perversion...eeeeeks!
Asinine, if papayas & pumpkins are not available, take durian...it has nice shape & smell.
flor1212, i said im "thinking" and not "feeling" of something. Lol! I know, it was designed as the male genitalia.
This is propaganda against Islam
Ow sweet lord, I am off to Carrefour Villagio to the papayas. :P Ummm ummmm
Oh wait, they dont have any papayas, ow no, they dont have any pumpkins either :P
excited, MAriecor? It's TOO big! Lol! It was design as such!
An un-named so called scholar has issued an edict and people are taking it seriously. :o(
How about the pennis shape building here? Just looking at it makes me think of something. ;-)
How does he feel about carrots, parsnips, string beans, etc.? Who cares what a nutter thinks let alone publishes it?
JOKE!
It has been an intense debate? Really? they debate such nonsense?
I can only laugh about it.
