A provacative billboard reading: "Jesus: a prophet of Islam" was vandalised one day after it was posted on one of Sydney's busiest roads. The billboard is one of three paid for by an Islamic organization called MyPeace and gives a phone number so people can receive a free Koran and other Islamic literature.The head of MyPeace, Diaa Mohamed, said the vandalism "validates the reason they went up in the first place". He said the damage would not affect his plans to put up similar ads on buses, and eventually on television.
Last week, the Anglican Bishop of South Sydney said that though it was "complete nonsense" to say Jesus was a prophet of Islam, the billboard was unoffensive.
