Somalia: Islamist Group Bans Samosas After Deciding They’re Too ‘Christian’ Because …
Apparently triangles are not halal in Somalia. These exceptionally deep-thinking Islamists would rather see children starve to death than see them eat a three-sided snack food. It might remind somebody of the Trinity. Finally, I understand my addiction to Doritos. And thank goodness it never snows in Somalia, otherwise Jack Handey bin Laden would have to issue a fatwa against Jack Frost bin Chillin, and we’d never enjoy a White Christmas ever again …
“Somalia’s al-Shabaab group has banned samosas after ruling the popular snacks are ‘offensive’ and too Christian.
Militant Islamist fighters last week used vehicles mounted with loudspeakers to announce the bizarre ruling across the regions of the war-torn country it controls.
The extremist group has offered no official explanation for the ban on the triangular snacks, which are commonly cooked up and served across the Horn of Africa.
The bizarre ban comes just days after militants linked to Al-Qaida in Somalia refused to let some aid workers into the country as tens of thousands suffered in the nation’s massive famine.
Aid groups including the UN Food Programme say they were not given permission by militants to provide aid in the country, where it has been warned that 800,000 children could die from starvation.
It is now thought islamist militants have taken offence at the three-sided samosa’s supposed resemblance to symbol of the Christian Holy Trinity.” Read more.
That is just crazy. It almost sounds like something you’d hear from a fake news tabloid, but it’s actually real.

This is what anger, hate, self centered, revengeful and unforgiving heart does and looks like.

QUESTION: Since the Salafis in Egypt are against cross shaped tomatoes and triangular shapes as well, will they issue a fatwa to destroy the pyramids? – (because this logic says they are Christian too (buahahahhhaaaaaa!)

Many of the news articles I share are often not covered by the mainstream media or local news. Their failure to report it, however, does not mean that the news article is faked.
