A bizarre ruling banning women from buying suggestively shaped vegetables
such as cucumbers, and the brutal slaying of children, lost Al Qaeda the
support of the Iraqi population, it emerged yesterday.
 
Al Qaeda's enforcement of a severe form of Islamic law sapped support among
the people for its campaign against American and Iraqi forces, allowing Arab
tribal leaders to drive Al Qaeda out of the strongholds it had created.
 
Sheikh Hameed al-Hayyes, a Sunni tribal leader from a former Al Qaeda
stronghold in the west of Iraq, said: 'I saw them slaughter a nine-year
old boy like a sheep because his family didn't pledge allegiance to them.'

Life under Al Qaeda was not only violent but also farcical.
 
'They even killed female goats because their private parts were not covered
and their tales were pointed upward,' Hayyes said.
 
'They regarded the cucumber as male and tomato as female. Women were not
allowed to buy cucumbers, only men.'
 
Men would have fingers cut off for smoking, hair salons and shops selling
cosmetics were bombed, and ice-cream salesmen were killed because ice cream
was not available during the time of Islam's Prophet Mohammad.
