Why al Qaeda Lost Iraq: It banned on women buying suggestively-shaped vegetables
By Rizzuto

Mon Aug 11, 2008 - I didn't think al Qaeda could come off as a more repressed group of individuals (in addition to being sociopathic) until I read this. From the Telegraph:
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."
Yeah...they hate us because of our foreign policy. Did we all of a sudden become Iraq's largest cucumber importer? What is it with lunatics finding penises where they don't exist these days? It seems to be a running theme.

Dunkin Donuts and Twinkies are definitely going to have an uphill battle in being accepted by Iraqis.
