'Allah meat' astounds Nigerians
2008-07-23
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 it looked and smelled like dog doody the words in the gristle, the restaurant owner said.

A search of the kitchen's meat revealed The Islamic Trinity three more pieces which bore the names. The meat was boiled and then fried before being served, owner Kabiru Haliru told newspaper Weekly Trust.
The chef boiled and fricasseed allah! He must be Killed!
"When the writings were discovered there were some Islamic scholars who come and eat here
Try the Golden Calf gristle. It's delish.
and they all commented that it was a sign to show that Islam is the only true religion of Table Scraps 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".
Undoubtably the most succinct description of islam I have ever seen.
"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.
I'm going to make a fortune with my "allah" meat stamp. Patent pending. Photo at link.

#18  Muhammed didn't have the sense of humour necessary to be Loki, Broadhead6. Allah, as described in his book, clearly did. And after all, Allah is just as real as Loki.

#17  actually I think muhammad was Loki - since there is no allah...

#16  Steve S. Thanks for the comparison of Allah to Loki. I've been looking for some kind of comparative description for years, and now I have it. Again, many thanks.

#13  So what happens when you ah, um, crap out the name of God a few hours later?

#12  To see a world in a grain of sand and read the name of God in a piece of gristly meat. It is all so beautiful and poetic. Or would be if it weren't so silly. I still think Allah is really Loki in disguise.

#11  Allah's name on an icecream-cone (if you twist it and look really hard) is sinful but if it appears on meat (if you're dillusional) is proof of Allah's superiority?

It would be a crack up if they found out the meat was not prepared Halial style (however you spell it).

Should you eat the word of god?

#10  Well, every winter I can piss his name in the snow...I'll only charge a buck a head for them to see that...

#9  Obviously these guys haven't heard about Grilled Cheese Jesus!

#8  So, this meat will never rot, right ?
Now that I think about it, I wrote Allan's name in the snow with a yellow scent marker.

#7  Allah's meat? Ewww...
Expect the call from GoldenPalace.com soon. And the inevitable scam emails.

#6  Personally, I'd rather have my prophet show up in a cartoon than gristle, but that's just me.

#5  Oh come on! It's obvious that if Allan wanted people to know that Islam is "the one true religion for mankind" that he would put his and Mo's names on a couple pieces of boiled-then-fried meat. Cheez, what more evidence could you want?

#4  "....it was a sign to show that Islam is the only true religion"

Hah! I'll put our Jesus image tacos, chocolate stains, bark strips, and ice cream swirls against this mummified mystery meat of theirs any time.

#3  I studied the text closely, it really says: KENTUCKY RAZORBACK PORK. Bon appetit, abdullahs.

#2  Lol , just lol .. Especially the Islamic scholars bit ..

#1  I wonder how many times Alan's name has appeared in Arabic around the world, and ignorant people couldn't read it - so the message was wasted.
