THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION TO SUCH AN FAITH - EITHER YOU EXTERMINATE THEM, OR, THEY WILL EXTERMINATE YOU. Arn.

8. Blood in cigarettes
Aidel ,   Australia   (07.31.10)
It's quite a long way until Pesach, maybe we had some spare blood (remember, we usually put it into matzah) and sneakily put it into the poor little Iranians' cigarettes. Hopw we have enough. Personally.I only use hand made shmurah matzah and I insist that the blood be guarded from the time of extraction.(we are very machmir on this)

13. Pig’s hemoglobin is used in cigarette filters.
Joe ,   Australia   (07.31.10)
CIGARETTES may contain traces of pigs' blood, an Australian academic says with a warning that religious groups could find its undisclosed presence "very offensive". Read more: http://www.news.com.au/national/cigarettes-may-contain-pigs-blood/story-e6frfkvr-1225847653290#ixzz0vFva0hkR According to a new study, there might be traces of pig’s blood in cigarettes and these findings might offend Muslims and some other religious groups. A research conducted by Dutch researchers was referred to by Professor Simon Chapman from University of Sydney, which identified 185 different industrial uses of a pig. This research stated that pig’s hemoglobin was used in cigarette filters. It is strictly banned to consume pork and strict vegetarians in Islam and vegans refuse to use any animal products or bi-products.

Raptor   (07.31.10)
that it comes from the "Zionists" because the pigs would be kosher and halal after being slaughtered in a "Zionist " abatoir.
20. Very hard to believe anything Iran says
Simon ,   Sydney, Australia   (07.31.10)
The Iranian leadership lies just about anything. This is just one more lie. These cigarettes don't even exist. Just another way to confuse their own peopld and brain wash them with hatered.
21. More Mossad Killer Rats
Michael Durbin ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.31.10)

24. I Used To Think Qadafi Was The Funniest Muslim
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (07.31.10)
25. Oh, noooooooooo!!!! heartless Zionist
Salma ,   Palestine   (07.31.10)
oh Zionists, What about Palestine? Thank God we started to boycott Zionist products :)
26. LOL- if I was PM this would be true.
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.31.10)
27. The end is near
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.31.10)
If this modern-day (Ooh, did I just say "modern-day?" We're talking about Iran, and I actually said "modern-day?" Yikes!) blood libel is the best that the Islamofascist regime can come up with, then they are surely nearing the end of their foul existence. Tainted Marlboros? They'd need to look up to see the bottom of the barrel. Surely a country that has developed intercontinental ballistic missiles (!), designed second-generation and third-generation centrifuges (!) and is building a fusion reactor (!) shouldn't find allegedly tainted Marlboros to be much of a challenge. It is a blood libel, however, and the Jewish community should respond. After we've stopped laughing, of course.
28. The Best!
Leo ,   Germany   (07.31.10)
Cigarettes with pig blood rock! I won't even touch the ordinary cigarettes anymore.
29. And Salma, just what's wrong with
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (07.31.10)
Israeli products (which you label "Zionist")? Didn't you once post how grateful you felt for our healthcare system? I guess when it's absolutely useful and necessary, you accept "Zionist" products and services but then you slide into your ideological mode, Salma. You're quite inconsistent. Why not just admit that Israeli products and services are at a very high level but that Salaam Fayyaad deems it necessary for Westbank Palestinians to isolate itself from Israel in order to build an independent economy. That, I think, would be a much clearer and sounder reply than the one you have rendered. Your reply reminds me once again how adolescent many Palestinians really are, angry at the "parent" (Israel) who provides for them. I am all for Palestinians becoming more independent and providing for themselves, incidentally. It's not necessary to rail against Israel in order to achieve this an independent economy. Eventually, when and if Palestinian independence results, we could become excellent trading partners. So let's hope for such a state of affairs as opposed to ranting against Israel as you have just done.
30. Contaminated cigarettes - Quit smoking
Josh S ,   USA   (07.31.10)
I say this is a conspiracy by Iran's health department to cut down on the lung cancer rate. Next thing you know, Mossad will be smuggling in adulterated junk food.
