Every few years there's a report like this from the Muslim world: the last one I recall was the allegation that trees fallen in a storm in eastern Europe, on a satellite photo, showed up looking like the Arabic script of a verse of the qur'an. Of course the Christian world has its own share of this sort of kookiness: pictures of Mary and Christ appearing in natural phenomona. In fact I suspect that, given the nature of Arabic script, it isn't hard to find natural phenomena that kind of randomly, once in a while, come to resemble it ... a bit like the alleged Bible code, given the nature of Hebrew, it is hard not to end up with strings of 3 or 4 consonants that can't be made to mean something ...
