'Tomatoes are Christian,' Egyptian Salafi group warns...

A Salafi group called the "Popular Egyptian Islamic Association" has warned Muslims against eating tomatoes on the grounds that the fruit is a "Christian food," NowLebanon.com has reported.

The group based its claim on the fact that a shape resembling a cross is revealed when one cuts a tomato in half.

The association published the warning on its Facebook page with a photo of a tomato cut in half, revealing a cross-shaped interior.

A message posted on the page read, "Eating tomatoes is forbidden because they are Christian. [The tomato] praises the cross instead of Allah and says that Allah is three [in reference to the Holy Trinity]."

The message went on to say, "I implore you to spread this photo because there is a sister from Palestine who saw the Prophet of Allah in a vision and he was crying, warning his nation against eating [tomatoes]. If you don’t spread this [message], know that it is the devil who stopped you.”

The message caused outrage among Facebook users, which prompted the group to clarify their warning, saying they did not tell people not to eat tomatoes. "We said don’t cut it in [such a way that it reveals] the cross shape.”

I absolutely agree, a sliced tomato symbolises both the 'Cross of Christ' AND that of 'St Andrew', it could also be seen as the 'Iron Cross' (among others) depicts the colour of 'Blood' and is often used as a weapon when thrown at 'Singers' and other 'Entertainers' when they do not come up to scratch.

It is also argued that the 'Tomato' is the 'Forbidden Fruit' of the 'Old Testament' and that 'Eve' could not have plucked an 'Apple' from a tree and would hardly have offered 'Adam' a 'Windfall', it would make more sense if she had bent over to harvest a 'Tomato' and in so doing, revealed her deadly 'Charms' which resulted in 'Adam's Knowledge'.

THAT account is more acceptable to those of diverse faiths and is especially embraced by the 'Turks' (or so I'm told).

ONLY thing in favour of the 'Tomato':- they are a lovely accompaniment to 'Eggs and Bacon' for 'Breakfast'.

Well there you have it, Tomato and BACON....... the humble tomato is obviously satanic when in this combination

The last line was only applicable to us 'Christians' (or non believers ) of course.

Kύριε ἐλέησον It's true!

We should hang this transverse section (or is it a cross section?) next to the icons in church.

(It's not a false fruit for nothing .... )

Sounds unlikely as the tomato originated in Mexico and didn't make its way to Europe and Asia until the time of the Spanish Conquistadors.

It was the Spanish Catholics who spread this delicious fruit with its hidden Christian 'message' as a way to mess with the minds of the infidels.

All this time and they've only just noticed....

Ahh, but only those capable of mustering the talents required to peer through the curtains of 'Deceit' and 'Chicanery' are able to determine the concealed signs of that which is 'Forbidden' (as in ALL things relevant to secrecy), it is generally referred to as 'Hidden in Plain Sight' and is particularly successful in Political Circles'

:

"Au Contraire mon ami!" for I have it on good authority that the 'Ark of the Covenant' contained certain 'Artefacts' which foretold coming events and ARE worshipped by millions of folk throughout the world to this very day.

What is NOT generally known is the fact that certain 'SEEDS' were also secreted amongst those 'Artefacts' and it was these 'SEEDS' that were introduced by the 'Conquistadors' as a gift to the lesser forces which opposed them (similar to the old 'Handful of Beads' strategy, nowadays it is quite acceptable to use 'FORCE' to steal other people's countries, we see signs of it every day BUT, it has become so commonplace, nobody even notices.
