I Harams bisarra värld

I islamistens värld finns det mycket

som är HARAM, orent. Alltifrån mat till

människor. Den här artikeln visar hur

lågt människan kan sjunka genom en

kombination av religiös fanatism och

ren okunnighet.

A bizarre ruling banning women from buying

suggestively shaped vegetables such as cucumbers,

and the brutal slaying of children, lost Al Qaeda

the support of the Iraqi population, it emerged

yesterday.

*
Al Qaeda's enforcement of a severe form of

Islamic law sapped support among the people

for its campaign against American and Iraqi

forces, allowing Arab tribal leaders to drive

Al Qaeda out of the strongholds it had created.
Sheikh Hameed al-Hayyes, a Sunni tribal

leader from a former Al Qaeda stronghold

in the west of Iraq, said: 'I saw them slaughter

a nine-year old boy like a sheep because his

family didn't pledge allegiance to them.'

*

Life under Al Qaeda was not only violent but

also farcical.
'They even killed female goats because their

private parts were not covered and their

tales were pointed upward,' Hayyes said.
'They regarded the cucumber as male and

tomato as female. Women were not allowed

to buy cucumbers, only men.'
Men would have fingers cut off for smoking,

hair salons and shops selling cosmetics were

bombed, and ice-cream salesmen were killed

because ice cream was not available during

the time of Islam's Prophet Mohammad.

*
'Al Qaeda wanted to kill me and blow up my

shop because I sold music CDs,' said Ahmed

Yasin from Samarra, north of Baghdad.
Singing, shaving and the medical treatment

of women by male doctors were all among

activities considered by Al Qaeda to be

forbidden by Islam.

*
'Al Qaeda prohibited the shaving of beards

and banned sideburns and long hair.
'Barbers were killed because they did not

obey,' said Kais Amer, a barber from Mosul

in the north of Iraq.
Leaflets threatened women with kidnap

or death for not wearing an all-enveloping robe.
The forced marriage of Iraqi women and girls

to al Qaeda members by tribes intimidated by

the group was not uncommon.
Disgusted by such acts, Sunni Arab tribal leaders

- whose men once formed the backbone of the

insurgency against American and Iraqi forces -

turned on Al Qaeda in late 2006, and with American

backing helped to remove Al Qaeda.

*
Until the overthrow of former President

Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iraq was largely secular

in outlook.
Iraqis of different sects and ethnicities inter-

married, women would dress in jeans and T-shirts

and Baghdad was packed with bars and discos.
America claims that Iraqi rejection of the Al

Qaeda rules is one reason behind a drop in the

number of bomb attacks targetting Iraqi

civilians and coalition troops.
