He said that these fruits and vegetables “resemble the male penis” and hence could arouse women or “make them think of sex.” He also added carrots and zucchini to the list of forbidden foods for women. The sheikh was asked how to “control” women when they are out shopping for groceries and if holding these items at the market would be bad for them.

The cleric answered saying this matter is between them and God. Answering another question about what to do if women in the family like these foods, the sheikh advised the interviewer to take the food and cut it for them in a hidden place so they cannot see it.
The opinion has stirred a storm of irony and denouncement among Muslims online, with hundreds of comments mocking the cleric. One reader said that these religious “leaders” give Islam “a bad name” and another commented said that he is a “retarded” person and he must quit his post immediately.

Lets not forget to forbid women to drive also.

Maybe the cleric has banana envy?
Ah, religion. Always good for a laugh.
C'mon people! No one has a NAME for this so-called "cleric". DisINFO big time. Cripes, get a grip folks!!
What another said. If there had been strong support for this absurd idea among Muslims, then it would have given Islam a bad name. This is actually the opposite. There are fringe loons in every group.
