Fatwa issued against juice in Kerala because it rhymes with 'Jews': Racist mindset of Muslim preachers

A Muslim preacher’s fatwa against ‘Juice’ is going viral on social media, evoking smiles and laughter. Rahmathulla Quasimi Muthedathu, a Sunni maulvi from Kerala, has lashed out at ‘Juice’ in a religious speech and urged his followers to boycott all varieties of juice because the juice was introduced by ‘Jews’, the enemies of Islam!

“We must chew whatever we consume, chew your water. Never drink the juice. Fruits shall never be mixed up with water. There is a race called ‘Jews’. They are our enemies. Juice came from Jews. Jews…. Juice!” Rahmathulla said.

“It was Jews who brought juice. There was no juice in the world before. Who brought juice to the Middle East (West Asia)? It was Jews! So never drink juice,” the maulvi said in his speech. As per the description of the video, the speech was delivered at Quran Study Centre, Mukkam.
