Angry Christians force Slayer album out of India Tue Oct 10, 8:13 AM ET

MUMBAI (Reuters) - U.S. heavy metal band Slayer's latest album has been recalled from music stores across India after the country's small Christian community said the cover depicting Christ with amputated arms and a missing eye was insulting.

Christian groups said the album -- "Christ Illusion" -- did not only have an offensive image on its cover, but some of the songs such as "Skeleton Christ" and "Jihad" hurt the sensibilities of Christians and Muslims alike.

"We took strong exception to the album which is offensive and in very bad taste," said Joseph Dias of Mumbai's Catholic Secular Forum.

The protests prompted EMI Music, Slayer's Indian-based label, to pull the album from all music stores and its depots.

"Last week we recalled all the albums and destroyed them as we did not want any community to be hurt," said T. Suresh, the company general manager.

In May, Christians, who make up about two per cent of Hindu-majority India's one-billion plus population, protested against the screening of "The Da Vinci Code", and forced its producers, Sony Pictures, to add a disclaimer saying the movie was a work of fiction.

Christ Illusion is the best work that Slayer has come out with since South of Heaven, or even Reign in Blood. Their two best songs on their new CD are definitely Skeleton Christ and Jihad.

There's a graphic video for Jihad on YouTube. To the average eye, it looks like this is the video for the song, but it isn't. It was just made by someone people with a whole lot of terrorist training footage and a whole lot of time on their hands.

Warning: The 'video' may be disturbing to some people.
