Is that a banana in your fatwa, or are you...
On the heels of the highest religious council in Saudi Arabia ruling that women driving automobiles would lead to "a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce," an unnamed Muslim cleric in Europe has banned Muslim women from touching fruits and vegetables that he believes resemble a human male's penis.
As reported by the Egyptian news portal bikyamasr.com, the anonymous cleric advised women to avoid bananas, carrots, cucumbers, and zucchini due to the possibility of enflaming "sexual thought."
As the cleric was quoted that these edibles;
"'resemble the male penis' and could arouse women or 'make them think of sex.'"
In the event any given Muslim family should serve the forbidden foodstuffs, it's been advised that the vicious victuals be taken to a hidden place and prepared out of sight of the womenfolk, as so they will not be tempted by the fruit (or vegetables) of another.
