Thousands flock to see "divine calf"
« on: February 14, 2006, 11:40:15 AM »
Let me be the first to say that this is no bull... Cheesy


From the Australian (http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,18142356%5E1702,00.html):

Thousands flock to see 'divine' calf

From correspondents in Cairo

February 14, 2006

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.

They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Meanwhile, closer to home, visit the eBay auction for a pancake manifesting an image of Jesus...

Just pray that no Mohammeds show up on your pancakes, burnt toast, fried eggs, etc. (why is it always breakfast food that Jesus appears on?).  Nobody would want to buy it and a bunch of angry Muslims would want to kill you.

Doesn't Allah mean GOD?  I am a little confused as to this being a muslim thing or a judeo-christian thing?  A lot of religions use the word Allah.  Anyway, here is what the calves folds looked like for the word Allah.

Abu Dif: There he is!

Dasmi: Where?

Abu Dif: There!

Dasmi: What? Behind the calf?

Abu Dif: It *is* the calf!

Dasmi: You silly sod!

Abu Dif: What?

Dasmi: You got us all worked up!

Abu Dif: Well, that's no ordinary calf.

Dasmi: Ohh.

Abu Dif: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rhumenant you ever set eyes on!

Dasmi: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!

Abu Dif: Look, that calf's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!  I'm warning you!

Charby: What's he do? Nibble your bum?

Abu Dif: He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones!

Dasmi: Go on, SM, Chop his head off!

Charby: Right! Silly little bleeder. One  viener schnitzel comin' right up!

Abu Dif: I *warned* you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you *knew*, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little *cow*, isn't it?

Wouldn't 20,000 thousand be twenty million?

That's a lot of folks.  If I was Abu Dif, I'd charge them a buck a piece to get their picture taken with the holy mammal.
