I'm heading to the store in a bit and I'm buying a shitload of Doritos because of this story.
Oy vey. There are trace amounts of alcohol everywhere. If you really wanted to avoid consuming trace amounts of alcohol you'd die of starvation in very short order. Where there are carbohydrates, there are sugars. Where there are sugars, there is alcohol, at some point in the food production process, in trace amounts--not so trace for bread and anything else where yeast is deliberately made part of the food production process, but as yeast is pretty much everywhere in trace amounts . . . I sentence these retards to be beaten to death with stale loaves of bread.
Jeez. I think the prohibition Mohammed was trying to establish was against drunkeness and consuming fermented drinks. It's very narrow minded in the extreme to assume the 'prohibition against alcohol' would extend to it as a frakkin' food ingredient. Dumbass Ignoramuses. I love that scene in the 13th Warrior, after a big battle, when Herger the Viking starts laughing when he hands the Arab a horn of mead, and the Arab says: "I can allow neither the fermentation of grape or wheat to pass my lips." or something like that. Then he asks why Herger is laughing at him. "Honey!" Herger replied. "It's made from honey!" Now here would be a violation of the true intent of the prohibition, neh?
An ice vendor in Iraq was told that if he didn't stop selling it, he'd be killed. The nutters threatening him said it was because there wasn't ice in Mohammad's time. When he told his story to a reporter, the ice vendor commented, "I thought about saying to them that AK-47s didn't exist in Mohammad's time either, but didn't because I didn't want them to shoot me." Shit like this is why I don't worry about them getting their hands on any nuclear material. They're so stupid that they'd give themselves a fatal dose of radiation before they ever managed to build a working weapon. I wonder if these idiots realize that bread contains alcohol?
My wife is reading a book about Aphganistan. An artist was flogged because he painted flamingos - their long exposed legs were provocative. The Taliban made him paint pants on the flamingos at gunpoint, or give up the paintings.
I wonder what would happen if he'd pointed out to the morons that if Moe had jumped into a ship and sailed down to the antarctic he'd have found plenty of ice... They'd probably have shot him I guess.
My point being it's a primitive, ignorant religion/political/educational system when taken to extremes.
