al Bawaba: Fatwa in Egypt: Source of pigs is Jews[^]

A new fatwa published in Egypt determines that the source of all the existing pigs in the world is Jews, who were cursed by Allah. The new edict was issued by Sheikh Ali Osman from the Egyptian Waqf ministry. Due to their Jewish roots, Sheikh Osman says, it is permissible to slaughter all the pigs. The religious scholar was quoted as saying by a Jordanian newspaper that he personally believes the source of the pigs is Jews and thus the consumption of pork meat is banned in Islam. He added that a person who consumes swine flesh is considered as one who consumed another "impure person." Sheikh Osman said his fatwa is being supported by the heads of al Azhar, but they fear to publicly confirm it. He said he still wait for response from al azhar fatwa committee to get an official approval for his new edict.

Consumption of pork is the same as consumption of "long-pork," moreover of impure "long-pork." And, well, one is what one eats.

I can believe he's religious but he's about as much a scholar as you are.

Now we need to convince some Jews that the source of pigs is Muslims, and stand back and watch the pigs fly, between two countries.

You may recall my suggestion that the perfect (long-term) defence against Islamization of Western countries would be to periodically spray pulverized pork into the air; keep the land smelling always of bacon. You know, something like fogging for mosquitos.

That would be broadly anti-Semitic, not just anti-Islamic, but I think most Jews secretly like the smell of bacon, often wafting over from the goyish family a few houses down. The heathens that drive past every Saturday morning

Yes, I've always recognized that there is that little drawback -- and Heaven knows, the West *needs* Jews. But, on the other, I'd like to think that most Jews are rational enough to understand that, as the Christ said (to paraphrase), "It is not what goes into (or onto) a man which makes him impure, but rather what comes out of his heart."
