Salafist group warns tomatoes are “Christian”

Just when we thought the Salafis could not be any more irrelevant in modern society, they go and and make a statement like tomatoes are Christian. Rumor has it now every child who does not like tomatoes is embracing this new Salafi dictate so they don't have to eat them.

Qatar Airways Photography Contest

"Qatar Airways currently has a photography contest taking place that’s fairly simple to take part in. The four categories you can submit pictures to are Magnificent Cities, Vibrant Cultures, Breathtaking Nature and Exciting Journeys. As for prizes they’re going to be giving away 10 Business Class return tickets and 50 Economy to the winners so your chances of winning something is pretty high. I just checked the gallery and there’s already a bunch of people from Kuwait participating so if you’re also interested then you need to hurry up since the contest closes at the end of the month.'
