CAIRO -- Thousands of people flocked to southern Egypt on Monday to seek blessing from a calf that 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 that 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 that the gathering could get out of control.
Witnesses said that they believed that 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.
These death cultists sure are not talking about the God of the Bible.
Message on calf, "Eat Mor Chikin".
HOLY COW!........
Expect it to be on ebay before the end of the week.........
cannot help but make analogies to our own native indians waiting for the white buffalo
That calf was born in Janesville, WI. in the 90's.
"..Koran specifically forbids idol worship"
Then why do they all face Mecca and pray to a metorite?
Uh-huh. I think if I was spouting such idiotic nonsense to the press, I would insist on anonymity, too.
What the story fails to mention is that they read the 'folds' backward. What it really spelled was "Halla tub dog on si ereht", which loosely translated means "What in the HELL are you staring at, moron??????"
Wonder why the dummy who witnesed the calf's skin was a message from Allah at birth, didn't use the magic of modern technology to get the mesage on tape?
Beter yet, why didn't Allah just smite the cartoonists?
The Koran aka, Religion for idiots.
They aren't praying toward Mecca-they are mooning the west.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
It is a fake. The Virgin Mary appearing on my toast this morning told me so.
She did not. She appeared in my Rice Krispies, clear as a bell. So there.
Blasphemy! Holy toast is the only true religion. May your Rice Krispies sink to the bottom of the bowl, infidel!
