| #6 File this under "you can't make this schit up. Muhammad prescribed camel urine as medicine. Narrated Abu Qilaba: "Anas said, "Some people of 'Ukl or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). Geelani is a memember of Jamaat-e-Islami, a Muslim terrorist group. |
