    A Swiss supermarket chain has withdrawn thousands of rolls of toilet paper because they were accidentally decorated with the Arabic word for Allah. In all, 16,200 rolls have been taken from the shelves of Migros supermarkets in Switzerland. The loo paper featured the various signs of the zodiac. Isabelle Vidon, spokeswoman for Migros, says the Virgo symbol, when seen upside down "could be taken to resemble the word Allah" in Arabic. Migros has apologised to Islamic Organisations across Switzerland. The error was only noticed after several people complained to stores after buying the toilet paper.
