Harami is a word derived from the word Haram, meaning “Forbidden”. It is the antonym to the word Halal meaning “Accepted”, and its similar to the use of the word Kosher in Hebrew.

Harami is therefore an adjective describing one who commits forbidden acts. The direct meaning in Arabic, is one who commits the forbidden act of stealing (i.e. a thief). The meaning in Hindi and Urdu(languages from India and Pakistan) is a person who is illegitimately conceived (i.e. a bastard).

You can imagine the fights that happen when an Arab calls a Pakistani a harami.

you’re friendly informational jew-hater

(just kidding)

The point is, the previous people who commented have no real logic to their hate, and are angry at things like the apartheid in Palestine. It is against Islam to hate against a people’s religion, and there are jews and muslims in the world who get a long.

Ck, I think deep fried marzipan rugelach would be delicious. My friend always goes on about deep fried candy bars. Its a Scottish thing I think!

Yael, off-topic, just thought of something: if you’ve got access to a Lidl supermarket, you might be able to get good frying oil there (I’ve read they sell the same range of products as in Germay). It hardly squirts and is low in cholesterol plus it handles heat well. It comes in large bottles of two litres and the price should range somewhere between two or three quid. You don’t need to completely fill a pot with oil; a few centimetres will do, just a little extra so that the pastries can float. The frying oil stores well in a cool and dark place, so a bottle that size will last you a for good while.

Alternatively [these really aren't bad at all]…

Jew Hater – what an eloquent piece of anti-semetic poetry. Your mother should be very proud.
