Religious Zealots Can Actually Be Funny Sometimes...Especially When They're SERIOUS

Religion Is A Funny Thing


London, England - In May, The Times of London, interviewing witnesses in Diyala province in Iraq, described scenes from the hard-core Salafist version of Islam being enforced (similar to what the Taliban imposed in Afghanistan).

Some common punishments and restrictions ('morally protective measures') include breaking the fingers of those who repeatedly smoked cigarettes, prohibiting grocers from displaying bananas (as they are "obscene") and requiring them to place a screen between cucumbers and tomatoes (as the latter are "feminine vegetables.")

One local man said he assumed that another restriction that farmers modestly cover their goats' "nether regions" was just a rumor, until he saw a goat wearing boxer shorts.

i demand and expect quality.
