TERRE HAUTE — A Terre Haute church upset some residents with a message on its outdoor sign that mentioned Allah.
The sign outside the Bible Baptist Church was recently posted with the message, "Jesus died and rose and lives for you. What did Allah do."
Saagarika Coleman said she was "horrified" when she saw the sign on her way to school. She said the message seems like an unchristian challenge to Muslims.
Pastor Bob Parker told the Tribune-Star of Terre Haute the sign wasn't meant to be derogatory toward Islam. He said its message simply meant that "the founder of Christianity still lives."
The church changed the sign this week. Parker said the message changes weekly, and that he wasn't concerned about negative reactions to the sign.
