Al Qaeda nonsense

One of the advantages of visiting Skypeland is the chance to meet people from all over the world. A friend from Iraq described some examples of the kind of silliness that Al Qaeda sympathesizers were trying to impose on Iraq in the last few years. For example, people who were selling ice in Iraq were killed by Al Qaeda because ice was not available during the time of Mohammed. Barbers who used a string for hair removal (called "khite") instead of a razor were killed since the Al Qaeda people decided that using the string method was unIslamic (said to be "haraam"). Bakers who introduced new triangular bread instead of the round pita bread were killed for baking unIslamic bread. Jeans were forbidden. Any sandals or slippers that did not introduce a strap between the toes were forbidden. Anyone violating these restrictions would be attacked and possibly killed. Ah yes, they sure are a reasonable bunch, aren't they?
