‘Allah meat’ astounds Nigerians
[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.

I wonder how bad it smells?

Maybe this nonsense will take the attention of the nonsense about seeing Jesus and/or Mary in every and under every rock. Wonder what the Islamic scholars say when people find images of Jesus? Does that mean Christianity is the only religion for mankind?

So you can’t draw a picture of the prophet and you can’t name a teddy bear after him, but it is okay to find Allah’s name on a piece of meat?
Must be true–because it wasn’t on a piece of pork…and we know pork is unclean.
That just ain’t right!
