From the BBC...

Diners have been flocking to a restaurant in northern Nigeria to see pieces of meat which the owner says are inscribed with the name of Allah.

What looks like the Arabic word for God and the name of the prophet Muhammad were discovered in pieces of beef by a diner in Birnin Kebbi.

He was about to eat it, when he suddenly noticed the words in the gristle, the restaurant owner said.

A search of the kitchen's meat revealed three more pieces which bore the names.

The meat was boiled and then fried before being served, owner Kabiru Haliru told newspaper Weekly Trust.

"When the writings were discovered there were some Islamic scholars who come and eat here and they all commented that it was a sign to show that Islam is the only true religion for mankind," he said.

The restaurant has kept the pieces of meat for visitors to see.

Thousands of people have already gone to the restaurant to see them since they were discovered last week.

A vet told the newspaper the words "defied scientific explanation".

"Supposing only one piece of meat was found then it would be suspicious, but given the circumstances there is no explanation," Dr Yakubu Dominic said.

<yawn>

Goodness! Allah is giving Mary-on-toast a run for her money !!!

JV-12 was right!

(Don't mind me. I'm just being snarky.)

So here's the link:

And look at the sidebar for list of more miraculous 'message from God' (in tomatoes, bread, tropical fish.....).

Now all we have to do is to decide "which God"...!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously, in gristle? Shouldn't God want us to have better cuts of beef than that?

Now Mary has to one-up Allah. They are all such showoffs.

Well, jumping on the band-wagon, but...

according to the "JV-12 standard of miraculous appearances and their relationship to 'proven evidence' of the rightness of a religious faith"....

Islam is atleast in the running for the "One True Faith" now!

I propose a wrasslin' match to settle it....Texas Cage match....at the Bellagio.....

a plaster wall with Mary on it versus an Allah-enscribed side of beef.

Winner gets world domination!

Hey, if your written word for God is a squiggle, no one should be very surprised when it shows up from time to time amongst a pile of random squiggles...

Or if you saw a "female hooded figure" in drying plaster of Paris.

The fleshy cuts are to be left for the priests to consume. God is interested in the entrails and fatty parts, for they create a sweet savour unto the Lord.

God's all into gristle. Always has been...

Precisely! God in his infinite wisdom does NOT show up in cuts of meat so tender that the believer is tempted to say WTF and eat it anyway......

As the BBC sidebars in that link I posted will show u, when Jesus showed up in a piece of bread in India, he did so in a half-burned chapatti......if he showed up in naan, he'd have been eaten on spot!

Offler, the Crocodile God, consumes the essence of the sausage: the priests must make due with the earthly remains.

Such foolish people - that's not Jesus; it's clearly Jerry Garcia without his glasses, circa 1970.

Jerry lives (if only on a chapatti)!

No, a REAL miracle would have been if it had shown up on a pork steak...
