Palestinians have been flocking to see a lamb which seems to have a birthmark spelling out the Arabic word for God, "Allah", in its coat.
Owner Yahya Atrash, from the West Bank town of Hebron, told Reuters the animal was born on Monday, when militant leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was killed.
He told Reuters the timing was "clear evidence of God's existence"

I thought this silliness was uniquely American, with idiots flocking to shrines made out of a fallen tree branch that looks like Jesus' face, or the frost pattern on a window that was supposed to look like the Virgin Mary. MAD magazine was right:"Barnum was all wet. There are hundreds of suckers born every minute!"
Uhhhhhhhhhh yeah.. and the potato chip that I ate earlier, shaped like the Hogwarts Express proves that Harry Potter exists.
Oh almighty Harry, we ask that you grant us the wisdom to see through the false prophets and their attempt to misguide us with farm animals.
They believe any crap nowadays.
Nowadays? People have always fallen for shit like this in droves; the only difference is that today, any given instance spreads further because of mass communication.
I must say Allah's handwriting leaves a lot to be desired.
(Also, it's hardly a birthmark, it's merely a manifestation of a white spotting pattern).

Wasn't there a fish like that a while back?

That was my first thought too. Actually, my first thought was fraud since I'm well aware of the human propensity for duping one another. My second thought was that it's equally as likely that you're experiencing apophenia or, more specifically, pareidolia .
THIS JUST IN...
Jesus delicious when roasted with garlic and rosemary, or BBQ'd with cajun spices, or a kalamata olive tapenade.
Allah Akbar yummy!
Allah Akbar yummy!
Allah Akbar yummy!

Allah Akbar yummy!
God: How will I show the world I exist?
Holy Ghost: Well, you could appear in the sky ...
God: No, that's too obvious.
Mohamed: How about suddenly making cancer, AIDS and MRSA disappear?
God: Not subtle enough.
Jesus: You could make Jack Chick win the presidency ...
God: Please! I may have a cruel streak, but even I have my limits. Wait! I know! I'll put my name in Arabic on the fur of a lamb and kill Ahmed Yassin both on the same day!
Jesus: You think that'll do it? In Arabic?
God: Of course. There's sure to be enough of those raving, moronic Muslim fanatics to catch the connection.
Mohamed: Hey! Hey! Hey! Come on, now ...
Jesus and the Holy Ghost: OK. Go for it!
God has gone downhill. He once created the universe in only six days, but then later could only part a small body of water... then later still he could only heal a few sick people. Now the best he can do is make their image appear in muffins or a bunch of bent lines resembling their name appear on sheep. The whole thing is a little too kinky for my taste.
If Allah wanted to prove he existed, he could have started by PROTECTING his people.
No, that is not evidence for the LORD. It's obvious that the demonic moon-god, Allah, spelled that out on the lamb (which is another word for goat, i.e. Satin's favorite animal).
No, the real evidence for the LORD is when we find images of his eartly mother on toast.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
