LONDON - British Muslims yesterday hailed what was described as a "miracle message" from God written inside a tomato.

When schoolgirl Shaista Javed (14), sliced the tomato in half, she found the message spelled out in Arabic by its veins, British newspapers reported. On one side she read "There is only one God", while the other said "Mohammed is the messenger." Since Sunday, when Shaista bought the tomato in Huddersfield, word has spread. About 200 people, some from as far afield as London, have visited her home to see the fruit, wrapped in plastic clingfilm to keep it fresh.
