Please debate and discuss... Also listen to audio. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4852912.stm Cockerel spared after 'crowing 'Allah'' A cockerel in the Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan has saved itself from the pot after crowing what its owner claimed was "Allah", the Arabic word for God. The two-year-old rooster was set to be turned into chicken soup after its owner, Ibragim Ismatullayev, found it to be extremely aggressive. However, Mr Ismatullayev has said that as he put the knife to the cockerel's neck, the bird "screamed" and, on hearing this, his five-year-old son said "dad, it's saying 'Allah, Allah'." The sound of the cockerel was then recorded on a mobile phone, and its life was spared. Firdevs Robinson, editor of the BBC's Central Asian service, said that stories of this sort quite frequently came out of Central Asia. She told BBC World Service's Reporting Religion programme that a lion in Azerbaijan was said to have roared the word "Allah" every time the call to prayer was issued. "People started queuing up outside the zoo, and it went on for a long while" she added.
I heard it! Also, the Jihadists, riding a 35 game winning streak, will beat the Detroit Pistons in 7 games in the NBA Finals to truly become World Champions!
Reminds me of the people who see Jesus in a stain on a wall.... There are all kinds of nutjobs in the world.
I can see it now, chicken elected president of Central Asian country. Chicken claims to have a mandate from God.
Anybody want to bet whether Homland Security has already set up a dossier on this rooster, or whether the mobile phone recording was intercepted by Eschelon?
