Sheltered inside the mosque is the small chapel and shrine of John the Baptist (Prophet Yahia to the Muslims) where tradition holds that the head of John is buried. One legend says that when the church was demolished, his head was found underneath, complete with skin and hair. This head is believed by some to possess magical powers and continues to be the focus of the Mandaeans’ annual pilgrimage, when they press their foreheads against the metal grill of the shrine and reportedly experience prophetic visions.
Anyone care to guess what prophetic visions Pelosi may have experienced? Sen. Thinskin (D-WashPo) going postal at the Capitol? Hillary!’s campaign imploding like a black hole and its gravitational pull sucking down Democrats across the country? What is your best / funniest guess?























I think she sees herself melt like the Germans in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
She has taken the scarf of submission.
The child bride of Mohammad.
Please. Where was the press on Frank Wolf’s visit?
I wish there was more press on Frank Wolf’s trips. Congressman Wolf does a very good job of highlighting human rights abuses in hellholes like Syria.
