This story lives at the crossroads between insanity, comedy and cruelty. Some quotes from the article:"(Al-Qa'eda's rules) include a ban on women buying suggestively-shaped vegetables."
"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."
"They even killed female goats because their private parts were not covered and their tails were pointed upward, which they said was haram."
And on a less comical note:
"I saw them slaughter a nine-year old boy like a sheep because his family didn't pledge allegiance to them."
It's on this last note that we should be reminded why we must kick the crap out of Al Qu'eda wherever it rears its disgusting head.
