The Cow and Armageddon, 15 minutes, 2007 (Ref: 582)
 
     
It sounds bizarre: a red cow could be the spark to ignite the powder keg of the Middle East. This animal has a crucial role in the rituals that according to religious Jews are necessary to dedicate the new Temple. The new Temple that according to these believers will have to be rebuilt on the spot where now stands the Muslim sanctuary the Dome of the Rock. Ten years ago such a rare red cow suddenly appeared. She became world news because her discovery could lead to a violent escalation as it might inspire Jewish extremists to once again try and blow up the dome of the Rock - as they have tried in the past. But it turned out to be a false alarm. This report investigates rumours that a new red cow has been born, a search with a surprising outcome.
