Muslims throughout the Islamic world are now being advised not to consume Pepsi Cola because it contains the parts of pigs used it it's production ~

Begin my translation ~

Al-Irsyad – the Islamic Agency for Research in Egypt has now recommended that Muslims are not to consume Pepsi Cola because it is being suspected of containing material that has been made from the intestines of pigs.

Dr. Mustofa Asyak'ah an agency member has asked for the other members of the agency to gather to discuss this problem, so that the Muslim community can receive clarity as to whether the product is haram (forbidden) or not, according to the daily Egyptian Al-Arabiyah.

Dr. Mustofa explained that the manufacturer of the drink has included a special material made from the intestines of pigs in the process of the drink's production.

"Because of this we are trying to break down of the materials used so that we might get some clarity on the issue" he said.

Either this is a Jesse Jackson type shake down or they got this information from a secret unidentified source supplied to them by Newsweek.

I could be wrong but having worked in the Middle East a little and knowing something of their 'peculiar' business practices...like stealing the business from their foreign, minority shareholders, I wouldn't be surprised if this fatwa was issued simply to create a market opportunity for one of the regional knockoffs. Its Allah's will that the Arabs eventually own all means of commerce.

Typical islamofascist tactic: initiate a boycott by manufacturing urban legends. They claimed that Israelis were making cookies with the blood of kids. Now it's Pepsi with pig parts. Now praise the lord and pass the pork-n-beans.

Members of TROP(tm) obviously read FreeRepublic threads. They foolishly conclude that FR readers are as easily manipilated as their own followers of TROP(tm) and will therefore stop their criticism of Indra Nooyi, CEO of PepsiCo.

Ah yes the famed Pepsi/Pork secret "sausage" link

ROTFLMAO.

"Dr. Mustofa explained that the manufacturer of the drink has included a special material made from the intestines of pigs in the process of the drink's production.

It's about time we in the pig intestine ingredient breaker-downer division finally get some credit. Do you
realize how demoralizing it is to spend one's entire
career working for Pepsi, slaughtering and dissecting pigs
every day so that we can process it for Pepsi, without being recognized?

Thanks for translating this, expatguy! :)

No, I'm Coke drinker when it comes to cola. I retract a bit of my veracity beacuse Expat says this is news in Indonesia.

My first glance of the site made me think it was from an islamic message board.

Didn't this same thing happen to Coca Cola many, many years back? It is fuzzy in my mind. Can someone please help? Thank you.

I stopped drinking Pepsi when Wacko Jackson became their darling in the "Pepsi Generation" advertisements.

I am no Pepsi fan and hope they get what they deserve in the latest middle finger episode to my country. I am really rankled.

I hope we can convince them that every pleasure they suck up from the 21st Century is "contaminated", including modern medical procedures. It'll make a lot less of them to have to kill when the Big War starts.

I'm with you on that.

[Rebelbase]

Thank-you.

What a shame it would be if word got around the muslum world that antibitiocs likewise contain pig parts.

I found a snout in my can.

Who do I sue?

I just think it's funny and ironic, considering Pepsi's president made insulting remarks about the US.

[processing please hold]

So what? Pepsi gave America the middle finger. They get what's coming to them. Her explanation was as ridiculous as there being pork in Pepsi. I can see where she gets her propaganda from.

[expatguy]

Im actually cruising the Indonesia extremist sites and News sites trying to get details of the riots over the Koran issue and in the process ran across this.

I think it it crazy. But the Indonesians think it is serious as do other Muslims in the region.

You know what Kermit's middle finger smells like?
