If you won't come to The Rock in Mecca...

then Mohammad will bring The Rock to you. Strange that it seems Mohammad was before Abraham and Jesus at times. It's as if the Old and New Testament were twisted and intwined creating a frightening branch of a tree terrifying and looming, it's shade not relief from the sun but dark, forbidding, chilling, a place where one gets lost and can never return. Should we be surprised and shocked at anything claimed by Islam? The furthest mosque is where Islam claims it is and perhaps it knows that to claim Israel and Jerusalem is to claim the world in flesh and in spirit.
