| Samaosa, Chicken and Jihad | |
Living in the Respectorate By Irfan Husain 13 Aug, 2011 TRULY, we live in strange times. Of late, a spate of odd, purportedly Islamic injunctions have landed in my inbox. Let me start with the oddest: in Somalia, the group of Jihadi terrorists calling themselves al-Shabab have banned the humble samosa. What these holy warriors objected to was not some forbidden filling in the triangular savoury pastry, but its shape. Apparently, they consider its ancient, three-cornered design to be “too Christian”: according to them, the samosa symbolises the Holy Trinity. Never mind that the familiar snack first appeared in Central Asia in the 10th century, and made its way to India in the 13th. |
