Thank you Blog Shooter

Hi Blog Shooter. Thank you for pointing out my error. I stand corrected. Ali was the cousin of Muhammad, not his nephew. Thus, according to the genealogical line, this would make Ali a "first cousin once removed" to Fatima, Muhammad's daughter. Either way, it's still all "in the family" regarding their marriage. Thanks again. :)
