(This references an old news story. I post this here to illustrate a point and to support some of what I will discuss in my next post.)
Kalashnikov wielding representatives of Islamic virtue have banned the Falafel in Iraq.
I don't know what they ate in Muhammad the false prophet's time. Dates, camels, goats, sheep and other simple fare that desert clime of Arabia could sustain.
It is illustrative of why Islamic countries are stagnate shit-holes. Every user of a innovation new since the days of Muhammad must fear for his life least some zealot decides that its use is worthy of death.
As for the Kalashnikov, well, we can only surmise that the only innovations that are acceptable are the ones that can be used for the specific purpose of killing people.

The ultimatum seemed so bizarre that, at first, most laughed it off -- until two of them were fatally shot as they plied their trade.
"They came telling us, 'You have 14 days to end this job,' and I asked them what was the problem," said Abu Zeinab, 32, who was packing up his stall for good yesterday in the suburb of al Dora, a hard-line Sunni neighborhood.
"I said I was just feeding the people, but they said there were no falafels in Muhammad the prophet's time, so we shouldn't have them either.
"I felt like telling them there were no Kalashnikovs in Muhammad's time either, but I wanted to keep my life."
