Syrian Rebels Ban Croissants!
August 3, 2013 at 1:29 pm
Quote:Croissants may look harmless, but a sharia committee overseeing a rebel-held area of Aleppo thinks otherwise. The judicial committee, Hayaa al-Sharia, banned Syrians from consuming the flaky pastries earlier this week. The committee isn’t taking a page out of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s book and banning croissants for their impressive calorie count, however — the committee announced that the moon-shaped pastry “celebrates European victory over Muslims,” Al Arabiya reported.

Dafuq?

Why would a food that coincidentally looks like the symbol of Islam be construed as an emblem of European victory?

These dipshits are circling the Ka'baa a little too fast.

There is no problem which the infantile mind of the religious cannot blow out of proportion.
It seems the pro-croissant forces have struck back!

One never thought there would be a part of the world where "murderous croissant eating secular dictator" might actually be better than what the people deserve?

Next they'll ban fast food joints for celebrating American victory over Muslims.
