AN ISLAMIC cleric living in Europe reportedly has warned Muslim women not to get too close to bananas, cucumbers or other produce to avoid having "sexual thoughts."
The unnamed cleric, whose directive was featured in an article in el Senousa, a religious publication, purportedly said that if women wanted to eat these foods, a third party - preferably a male related to them, such as their father or husband - should cut the items into small pieces before serving, the Egyptian website Bikya Masr reported.
Carrots and zucchini also were added to the alleged cleric's list of forbidden foods for women. LINK
