| 'divine' calf says "no God but Allah" |
| 2006-02-14 |
| THOUSANDS of people flocked to southern Egypt today to seek blessing from a calf they believe was born as God's reply to the publication in Europe of cartoons depicting the prophet, police said. Some 20,000 thousand people had gathered in front of Mohammed Abu Dif's house in the village of Tunis to see the holy mammal, whose skin folds when he was born reportedly formed the words "There is no God but Allah", a police official said on condition of anonymity. He said the villagers flocked from all over the southern governorate of Sohag to the farmer's house and had to be dispersed by police, who feared the gathering could get out of control. Witnesses said they believed the calf was "Allah's response to current attacks against Islam", the official said. He was referring to the publication in a Danish daily five months ago of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed, which is banned in Islam. Some of the caricatures portray Mohammed as a terrorist and have since been reprinted in scores of other European newspapers, sparking an unprecedented outcry in Muslim countries. Tens of thousands of Muslims across the world have held demonstrations to protest against the cartoons, call for a boycott of Danish products and demand their countries sever ties with Denmark. |

| #15 A farmer. In a tiny village. What are the odds he can't read? And Allan knows cartoons aren't allowed. But this just appeared at birth and is gone when the hordes showed up. But the illiterate insists that's what it looked like. Egypt - gathering it's jihadis. But a cow?! - I smell Larson at work here. Want a shot of Taqiiya? |
