Jabou,
Thanks a lot for the clarification. I really did question the authenticity
of this e-mail but thought I pass it on anyway, hoping someone on this List
would help with the truth. It is no surprise to me that there are ORGs. out
there set up purposely to misrepresent our faith so it's never a bad thing
to question the knowledge. Kudos Jabou!
Mr Makaveli.

George,
This letter is not authentic, and infact, the folks in Saudi have been doing
their best to find out who initiated this untruth, so just ignore it.

I don't mean to offend or distract anyone but I sure don't want to end up
like Abdul-Salaam nor poor Balemanthan. READ and PASS IT ON like it says.
