Visiting a mosque.

The other day a local mosque opened its doors and invited non - Muslims to visit in the spirit of their faith's willingness to be open and welcoming, so I too decided to go to the local mosque at Lakemba in western Sydney for the first time to see what it was all about: Lakemba has a large Muslim population and the Lakemba Mosque is Australia's largest mosque.



At the time I was limping a little. I sat down and the Imam came up to me, laid his hands on my hand and said: "By the will of Allah and the prophet Muhammed - you will walk today."


I told him I wasn't paralysed, I only had a small bunion on my left foot.

He came back and laid his hands on me and looking skywards, earnestly repeated his mantra: "By the will of Allah and the prophet Muhammed - you WILL walk today."

Once again, I told him there was nothing wrong with me.



After prayers I stepped outside ---



And bugger me he was right----






MY CAR WAS GONE
