<b>'Offensive' album pulled in India</b>
US rock act Slayer's latest album has been withdrawn from sale in India after religious groups complained about its cover depicting a <b>mutilated Christ.</b>
The band's Indian label, EMI Music, <b>recalled stocks of Christ Illusion and had them destroyed.</b> as opposed to Mo Fo Hussain's depictions of Bharath Matha and other deities which were not so offensive.
Joseph Dias, of Mumbai's Catholic Secular Forum, said the album was "offensive and in very bad taste".
It was claimed that songs on the album, including Skeleton Christ and Jihad, offend both Muslims and Christians.
