Putting nuclear materials in cigarettes! So thaaaaat's why they're so unhealthy! "Iranian Official: Marlboro Tainted with Pig Blood & Nuclear Matter," from Iran's PressTV, July 30 (thanks to Jeff):
(TEHRAN PRESS TV) - An Iranian official says some of the most popular cigarette brands are contaminated with nuclear substances when smuggled into the country.
The article linked above, via the Salem News, included the bit about pigs' blood in their headline. It's unclear where that came from -- and where it went.
"Some of the most famous cigarette brands worldwide including Marlboro, which accounts for the bulk of smuggled cigarettes [into the Islamic Republic] are tainted with [hazardous] nuclear materials," Mehr News Agency quoted Mohammad-Reza Madani from the Society for Fighting Smoking as saying on Friday.
What happens if you smoke them while consuming Pop Rocks and Coca-Cola? I mean, while we're dealing in urban legends and all...
"The largest tobacco companies in the world use various tricks in order to keep their markets and increase their sales," Madani added.
He went on to add that the company responsible for the production of the tainted cigarettes is the "Philip Morris International, which is led by Zionists (Israelis)," and sells Marlboro outside the US.
The Iranian official also referred to a confidential report released a few years ago, in which the contamination of the "Philip Morris" cigarettes was confirmed.
He called on the Iranian Tobacco Company to adopt better supervisory measures regarding the distribution of cigarettes in the country.
"Philip Morris" is an international tobacco company with market demand in over 160 countries.
Its main brands include Marlboro, L&M, Longbeach, Philip Morris, Bond Street and Chesterfield.
I figured they all smoked Camels.
If it kills, Muslims like it...
Une femme est une femme, mais un caporal...
The local cigarettes are a nasty black tobaco which i would guess has a high tar content, best they stick to them and keep away from the zionist Marlboro Lights.

Well, duh! That's what happens when you smuggle cigarettes in right next to smuggled nuclear materials:
"Canada: Islamic jihadist jailed for nuclear exports to Iran"
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/07/canada-muslim-jailed-for-nuclear-exports-to-iran.html
Muslims are obsessed with pigs. A pathological obsession.
Is it possible that the Iranian government has accidentally or intentionally exposed the general population to radioactive material?
Almost 65% of the Iranian population either smokes tobacco or is exposed to secondhand smoke. This could be a convenient way of trying to pass the blame for widespread radiation exposure.
I'm curious about what type of nuclear material the Iranians claim was used and how they managed to "discover" it.
No my very sorry Iranian brothers do not buy ZioNazi Marlboro cigarettes. Smoke Chinese or Indian chimneys instead, they'll send you to Allah faster.
Another slice of crazy from the world's next nuclear power.
"I figured they all smoked Camels."
Belly laugh! Thanks!
"If it kills, Muslims like it..."
Good one!
Perhaps the cigarette companies marketing departments could print it on the packages so as to appeal to their inner warrior!
"Tobacco firms kept quiet on polonium role in cigarettes"

I can attest that in the past week I too smoked a Marlboro tainted with pig's blood. When you BBQ pork baby back ribs over a low heat for 5 hours, probing and sampling it's state of perfection while smoking a cig, your bound to get some pig's blood on it. Having no radioactive monitoring equipment in the house, I can't be sure of the rest. This story got my imagination going. I just passed over what remained of the carton with my metal detector and it came up clean. Spontaneous combustion? Dust mites? Peanut particulate contamination? I don't know what's a bigger threat to my grandchildren, Philip Morris or Islam.
Nuclear materiel in cigarettes...
Maybe if we supply them with enough cigarettes, they will shut down their nuclear program.
" I don't know what's a bigger threat to my grandchildren, Philip Morris or Islam ".
Mayor Bloomberg would tell you that Philip Morris is.
How can any believing Muslim consume products made by dirty kuffars. All of it must be unclean! So reject the decadence of the West, O Muslims! No more aid pakages! No evil western medicine! And jizjya? Even the money of the infidel has pigs blood on it!
Death and suffering is better than being unclean!

'Call for Philip Morris'...No one should be calling Philip...
The Iranians are just showing their Islamic born paranoia with the radiation idea, but they are not too far off base about harmful ingredients...It was revealed when the question of 'does smoking cause lung cancer', was asked quite a while ago, that the companies add 750 ingredients, some of them known carcinogens...
There was a conspiracy theory around this having to do with population control, with smoking a way to kill millions over the years...Conspiracy or not, smoking cigarettes does seem to have that effect...My father died of lung cancer after smoking for years, as did my brother in law, my niece, my mothers second husband, my x mother in laws second husband...
I don't smoke...I refuse to follow in their footsteps...
I'm only surprised that they didn't also accuse the manufacturer of adding a substance to render them infertile. That's what muslims accuse vaccine suppliers of doing. I suppose it's easy to be paranoid when you know that you have made everyone your enemy.
Death and suffering is better than being unclean!

Unclean. I need some help sourcing a quote I thought was from the Qur'an when it speaks that water cannot be made unclean by anything, even menstral blood that washing clothes would taint a well with. Qur'an or Hadith? I gave up using the free online Qur'anic concordance. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

on ablution and unclean water. It certainly looks like many things can make water unclean.
Other than that: I wonder what kind of obsessive minds it takes to demand this ritualistic nonsense.
Biff...
Abu Dawood, 1:66:
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
The people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him): Can we perform ablution out of the well of Buda'ah, which is a well into which menstrual clothes, dead dogs and stinking things were thrown? He replied: Water is pure and is not defiled by anything.
Abu Dawood,Book 1, Number 0067:
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him): Water is brought for you from the well of Buda'ah. It is a well in which dead dogs, menstrual clothes and excrement of people are thrown. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied: Verily water is pure and is not defiled by anything.
Sweet. Nothing defiles water. I read text and get it's raw essence. I don't read it like a instruction manual and memorize the exploded parts view. Needed source for something I'm toying with. Now I can find out on my own if it's Shi'a or Sunni or whatever, and how many of these recognize this as solid gold hadith. Thx duh_swami.
Shiite Muslims seem to be particularly obsessive about ritual 'purity'.
In the works of Bat Yeor and Andrew Bostom you will find reference to historic sources that record and report that, in the not-too-distant past, Shiite Muslims in Islamic Persia did not permit Jews to go outside in the streets when it was raining. Why? Because the rain might wash a Jew's impurity off of the Jew and onto any Muslim who happened to be nearby.
There's a good sampling of Persian Shiite Muslim attitudes toward Jews, in this article by Andrew Bostom:

Shi’ite Iran’s Genocidal Jew Hatred
By Andrew G. Bostom
The American Thinker | Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Excerpt:
"At the outset of the 16th century, Iran’s Safavid rulers formally established Shi’a Islam as the state religion, while permitting a clerical hierarchy nearly unlimited control and influence over all aspects of public life.
"The profound influence of the Shi’ite clerical elite, continued for almost four centuries (although interrupted, between 1722-1795, during a period of [Sunni] Afghan invasion, and internecine struggle), through the later Qajar period (1795-1925), as characterized by the Persianophilic scholar E.G. Browne:
'The Mujtahids and Mulla are a great force in Persia and concern themselves with every department of human activity from the minutest detail of personal purification to the largest issues of politics'
"These Shi’ite clerics emphasized the notion of the ritual uncleanliness (najis) of Jews, in particular (but also Christians, Zoroastrians, and others), as the cornerstone of inter-confessional relationships toward non-Muslims."...
More:
"Mohammad Baqer Majlisi (d. 1699), the highest institutionalized clerical officer under both Shah Sulayman (1666-1694) and Shah Husayn (1694-1722), was perhaps the most influential cleric of the Safavid Shi’ite theocracy in Persia.
"By design, he wrote many works in Persian to disseminate key aspects of the Shi’a ethos among ordinary persons.
"His Persian treatise, “Lightning Bolts Against the Jews,” despite its title, was actually an overall guideline to anti-dhimmi regulations for all non-Muslims within the Shi’ite theocracy.
"Al-Majlisi, in this treatise, describes the standard humiliating requisites for non-Muslims living under the Shari’a, first and foremost, the blood ransom jizya, a poll-tax, based on Koran 9:29.
" He then enumerates six other restrictions relating to worship, housing, dress, transportation, and weapons (specifically, i.e., to render the dhimmis defenseless), **before outlining the unique Shi’ite impurity or “najis” regulations** {my emphasis - dda}.
"It is these latter najis prohibitions which led Anthropology Professor Laurence Loeb (who studied and lived within the Jewish community of Southern Iran in the early 1970s) to observe, “Fear of pollution by Jews led to great excesses and peculiar behavior by Muslims.”
"According to Al-Majlisi,
QUOTE - 'And, that they should not enter the pool while a Muslim is bathing at the public baths…
'It is also incumbent upon Muslims that they should not accept from them victuals with which they had come into contact, such as distillates , which cannot be purified. In something can be purified, such as clothes, if they are dry, they can be accepted, they are clean.
'But if they [the dhimmis] had come into contact with those cloths in moisture they should be rinsed with water after being obtained.
'As for hide, or that which has been made of hide such as shoes and boots, and meat, whose religious cleanliness and lawfulness are conditional on the animal’s being slaughtered [according to the Shari’a], these may not be taken from them.
'Similarly, liquids that have been preserved in skins, such as oils, grape syrup, [fruit] juices, myrobalan [an astringent fruit extract used in tanning], and the like, if they have been put in skin containers or water skins, these should [also] not be accepted from them…
'**It would also be better if the ruler of the Muslims would establish that all infidels could not move out of their homes on days when it rains or snows because they would make Muslims impure.**[emphasis added]" END QUOTE.
END EXCERPT FROM BOSTOM'S ARTICLE.
It's as silly as playground nonsense about 'girl germs'; only in the case of the Shiite terror - or disgust - of we might dub 'Jew germs', they used it as an excuse to impose upon their Jewish dhimmis even more cruelly draconian restrictions than were applied by Muslims elsewhere.
I wish there was some way of knowing how many Iranians believe this cigarette nonsense, really deep inside. We see too often that once an authoritative source has come up with some mad assertion, there´s no end of yelling crowds and hurt feelings. But I wish I knew the actual numbers.
It always makes me think of the last Gulf War. A coffee house, somewhere in the Middle East outside the immediate area of hostilities: there´s a rumor that an American place has been shot down and the crew parachuted to safety and now hiding in the reefs along the river just outside Baghdad. And everyone in the coffee house are climbing on top of each other to get close to the TV set.
Some weeks later, and the very first American troops are entering Baghdad. It could very well be the very same coffee house except there´s no interest for the TV set at all. They totally ignore it to a man.
