Thousand Island Dressing has Islamists all a twitter

Allah salad bar! The Palestine 48 Website calls on Israeli Arabs to avoid salad dressing after consumer discovers it contains alcohol. (hat tip: The Religion of Peace: and a big stack of dead bodies.)

A website affiliated with the northern branch of Israel's Islamic Movement warned its readers to avoid a brand of Thousand Island dressing produced by a well-known Israeli company. The warning was issued after a local Arab discovered that the dressing contains alcohol.

"I was invited to dinner by a friend and discovered appetizing salads," Khatib recounted. "I asked my friend what he used to make the salad and he told me about the dressing and said it is sold in stores. When I returned home with my wife I checked the dressing's ingredients and was stunned (!) to discover that it contains alcohol, without directing people's attention or warning them."

Khatib noted that he approached a senior figure in the manufacturer's marketing department and was told that the company did not mislead anyone, as the ingredients were clearly noted on the packaging. The senior figure reportedly told Khatib that anyone can decide whether he wishes to use the dressing. (hah-hah. In other words, grow up little moslem.)
I guess he didn't get the fatwa email that says he can have 0.5% alcohol. Oh, and if he doesn't know it doesn't have alcohol and drinks it - it doesn't count because he didn't know. Got that? Alcohol Fatwa stirs controversy.
