Islamic cleric bans women from touching 'penis-shaped' foods in case it arouses them

An Islamic cleric living in Europe has said that women should not be close to bananas or cucumbers, in order to avoid any 'sexual thoughts'. The unnamed sheikh was quoted by el-Sawsana news saying that if women wish to eat these food items, a third party, preferably a male relative, should cut the items into small pieces and serve. The cleric said that these fruits and vegetables 'resemble the male penis' and could arouse women or 'make them think of sex.' He also added carrots and courgette to the list of forbidden foods for women.
