Quebec contemplates ban on religious garb, crucifixes for doctors, teachers
CWN - Quebec Premier Pauline Marois has lent support to a "Charter of Quebec Values" that would ban the wearing of religious garb and crucifixes by public employees.

"We're moving forward in the name of all the women, all the men, who chose Quebec for our culture, for our freedom, and for our diversity," said Marois.

A Salafi group (Salafism, according to Wikipedia, “has become associated with literalist, strict and puritanical approaches to Islam and, in the West, with the Salafi jihadis who espouse violent jihad against civilians) called the “Popular Egyptian Islamic Association” has warned Muslims against eating tomatoes on the grounds that they are a “Christian food” (I wonder if there are any Catholics so extreme that they won’t eat Muslim food (most of which, after a year working in a Muslim country, I can tell you is just delicious, and not a bit subversive).
This Salafi group explains its interdiction by the fact that a shape resembling a cross is revealed when one cuts a tomato in half (had you noticed that?)
They published the warning on their …
I once saw a tomato that had the shape of the word "Allah" in Arabic. I guess that tomato would be okay for them!
