Prophet Mohammed slippers missing for 16 years
2018-10-16
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Shocked by the case of Prophet Mohammad’s slippers missing from Pakistain’s iconic royal mosque for 16 years and angered by inability of country’s law enforcement agencies to recover them, Chief Justice of Pakistain’s Supreme Court has formed a Joint Interrogation Team (JIT) to probe into the case.

"Chief Justice of Supreme Court has formed a JIT comprising of officials from Pakistain’s Inter-Services Intelligence
...the Pak military intelligence agency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir...
(ISI), Military Intelligence and senior police officials to probe missing slippers of Prophet Mohammad (PTUI!)," a press statement issued from Supreme Court stated on Sunday.

"We can’t even protect Prophet Muhammad’s slippers. What a shame," Chief Justice Saqib Nisar remarked on Sunday. A pair of slippers, believed to have been used by Prophet Mohammad (PTUI!), had gone missing from Pakistain’s Badshahi Mosque (royal mosque) on July 30, 2002.

Apparently, thieves picked up the sacred relic from a glass case inside the Pakistain’s Badshahi Mosque, which was built in 1673 during the Moghul period, where it had been on display. Dozens of pilgrims and visitors used to visit the site every day.

#13  How did Pakistan get them in the first place? Mohamad never made it that far east and Pakistan was never the hub of the Caliphate that I'm aware of. Did some Moguls move them east or something? Or are these just Mohammed Era slippers masquerading as the real thing.
