I have just subscribed to this newsgroup because I wish to know one
thing about the tomb of the Prophet. I am amazed by the anti Islam
posters and can only assume that some of these people must spend a

thought has occurred to me that perhaps they could probably spend most
of this time in more productive ways. I mean, does any body care at the
end of the day about their views. Will it all make any difference in
fifty years time? I think not.
What I would really like to know, for personal reasons, is
whether any
of the people out there who have made the pilgrimage to Mecca have
actually seen the tomb of the Prophet. I gather there is a hole in the
door where one may look through if one is a Moslem? I assume that one
could, in theory, get behind that door and touch the tomb?
Not sure where he was planted, but the paedophile's last request was
that he be buried beneath a school playground.

No, you have it wrong. He was buried in his own house against his own
wishes. Then a mosque was built around the house. I don't think he was a
paedophile though. He wept when his own children died. No, I think that
maybe he was a normal man who thought he was the messenger of God?

Now there's a thought!

A normal man thinking that he is a messenger of God? Woops, I am sure
that I have missed something there.

My own prejudice is that "normal" people, by definition of being normal,
cannot see themselves as being messengers of God (otherwise everybody
would be a messenger of God, which is absurd), which suggests to me that
Muhammed might not have been "normal". Your comments on this observation
are invited.

You haven't missed anything. I deliberately put it that way. Nuff said!
