| #10 I believe they do for normal folks, ed. Plus the keeping and revering of human 'relics' is generally forbidden, too. Apparently though, Muhammad is the only person who people can seek 'blessings' from, whether through his body, what touches his body or bodily fluids (eew). Not real consistent in their beliefs, sort of like liberals. |

| #8 It would be funny if this were a fake and the hair turned out to be porcine. |

| #3 unless the hair was somehow mummified, it is very difficult to believe it could be 14 centuries old |
