This makes perfect sense... because it makes no sense.

A Salafist group called the Popular Egyptian Islamic Association has come under fire after sending out a warning on Facebook urging its followers not to eat tomatoes because the vegetable (or fruit) is a Christian food.

The group posted a photo on its page of a tomato - which appears to reveal the shape of a cross after being cut in half – along with the message: “Eating tomatoes is forbidden because they are Christian. [The tomato] praises the cross instead of Allah and says that Allah is three (a reference to the Trinity).

Of course. The tomato is a fruit that pretends to be a vegetable. Next, the false prophets. :lol:

We'd better get the Archbishop to ban these then.

But that combination is the symbol of the ancient Greek city of Byzantium and later of Constantinople. Very Greek and very Christian too (the star stabds for Virgin Mary).
