Al-Qa'eda in Iraq alienated by cucumber laws and brutality

Besides the terrible killings inflicted by the fanatics on those who refuse to pledge allegiance to them, Al-Qa'eda has lost credibility for imposing 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.

Salad must be a dreary affair in the average al Qaeda household.

Maybe we could put al Qaeda in charge of California for a couple of months.

With any luck they'd all drop dead of collective apoplexy as they walked into LAX.

At first I thought this was Scrappleface, but then I realized even Scott Ott couldn't make shit like this up.

I wonder if Al Qaeda isn't made up of inbred retards sometimes.  How anyone could follow anything they spout is beyond me.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

Whatever you do, don't get caught smuggling kosher pickles in country....

These people (and I used that term with tongue in cheek) have too much time on their hands!

This just in:

AQI has taken to throwing fruit salad off of 10-story buildings.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."
