Faith healer beheaded
2009-01-18
The beheaded body of a faith healer, abducted on Friday, was found in the Mattani area of Peshawar on Saturday, police officials said.
That's a pretty tough one to heal.
Pir Rafiullah, resident of Said Gul Abad area in Pabbi town, Nowshera district, was abducted by four armed men on Friday, locals told Daily Times. A police official at the Mattani police station said the body was recovered from Frontier Road near Juma Khur. He said a letter, written in Pushto, was found near the body, warning that those involved in the business of faith healing would meet the same fate.

#3  "The liquids with which prayers are written are rose, water, musk, saffron, ink, honey, the juice of mint, the juice of the white grape and grease. Rain water, spring water, water from a well that is low, or water which has been caught from a drain-pipe may be used to wash the written prayers. Usually this water is given to drink to the person who is concerned; and not infrequently the prayer itself, as the paper upon which the verse was written is called, must be eaten. Sometimes the water is poured over the person's head as he faces Mecca."

Ah, yes - Islamic "science."

These clowns actually like living in the Dark Ages.

Everyone knows true healing begins with eating passages of the koran.
