Islamic Cleric Bans Women from Touching Bananas, Cucumbers to Avoid ‘Sexual Thoughts’
In a ridiculously repressive and absurd proposal, an Islamic cleric residing in Europe has said in a ruling that women should not touch or be anywhere close to bananas and cucumbers, in order to avoid “sexual thoughts”.
An unnamed sheikh was quoted in a religious publication, el-Senousa News, as saying that if a woman wished to eat cucumbers or bananas, it should be sliced into pieces, preferably by her husband or father, before she eats them. Egyptian English news site Bikya Masr reported the proposal. According to the report, the sheikh has also added carrots and zucchini to the list of apparently immoral and blasphemous fruits and vegetables.
The sheikh was also asked if simply holding these vegetables, while out shopping, would be “harmful” for women. He replied that it was a matter between God and women.
Via Forever in Hell
Although I find myself doubting the validity of this I do firmly believe this has more to say about the state of mind of the Islamic Cleric than it does about women finding these various fruits and vegetables erotic. If the sight of fruit does this for him going to the local supermarket must be like a visitation to Tienda Erotica…
He must see penises everywhere, which really does beg the question..Hmm
