Egyptians flock to see 'divine messenger' calf
February 14, 2006


CAIRO --  Thousands of people flocked to southern Egypt on Monday to seek 
blessing from a calf that 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 that 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 that 
the gathering could get out of control. 

Witnesses said that they believed that 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.
