Top 10 Reasons M&Ms Are Haram

Text on the meme

Top 10 reasons M&Ms are HARAM Sponsored by Kingdom of Saudi Arabia NO HIJAB!!! Dissidents and critics of Saudi leadership

What it means

A fast-cut parody video presents “Top 10 reasons M&Ms are HARAM,” sponsored by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, then shows M&M characters and a man wearing a Saudi-style keffiyeh. The joke exaggerates religious-policing and authoritarian stereotypes, including the green M&M being condemned for having “NO HIJAB!!!” and critics being treated as a suspicious group. The clip is set to the dramatic Arabic music track “Shela Klna Slman” by Shebl Aldwaser, whose solemn sheila style makes the absurd M&M propaganda feel mock-serious and overblown.
